Although that may be good, it is only part of what we are trying to accomplish. We do not have an Education Ministry, but rather an Equipping Ministry. The purpose of equipping is not only to educate, but to prepare us or equip us to take action. Equipping is an active word. If you are being equipped it means that you are being prepared to do something.
Education is a more passive word.
You can learn something but never do anything with that knowledge. Anyone who listens to the Word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. In other words, my prayer is that everyone at Central would bear good fruit and in order to do so we must grow in the knowledge of God and His Word. Impassioned by the devastating news of the Columbine tragedy, Josh McDowell's Project 911 is an urgent call to the church, community, and nation. This new series provides a serious look at our relationships with our children.
