7. Applications
A good minister must teach. The corresponding part of a good church member is that he/she must be a learner. Are you a good learner? A good listener?
Do you have a good diet of words of faith to nourish you?
You should exercise toward godliness. In your heart do you have a right attitude and response toward God?
Are you an example to others in word, conduct, love, faith, purity? If not, why not?
You should give attention to yourself and show a constancy of life so that you can be a means by which God saves the lost. God alone saves. But God uses people to carry the message and to be examples.
