This last Sunday in Sunday School, my senior class took over the role of teacher. Each one had 5 minutes to address the group, with no reprisals from staff. So, I decided this week that I'd pick a few highlights and use them for discussion starters on our site.
One of the seniors, Abby Berek, who I praised publicly for her consistency and faithfulness over the last 7 years, returned the favor:
"Brent, you've often praised me for my consistency. That I'm like the church cockroach that's here every time the doors are open and the lights turn on, but I want to thank you for YOUR consistency. No matter what, I could count on you to teach the Word, and let us make our own conclusions and draw our own applications."
So, today, I'd like to talk about consistency. How do you keep a walk with God that is faithful over the long haul...the ups, the downs, and everything in between? What is it about consistency that is so encouraging to others? Why does the Christian community seem to reward "flash-in-the-pan" camp highs and not day-in, day-out simple faithfulness?
