Keeping Your Eye on the Ball

You may or may not have seen the news reports of Ted Haggard in Colorado Springs. Regardless of how the timing of this story is politically motivated, by Haggard's own admission, he has behaved immorally.

The lesson for us as teachers/leaders is 3-fold.

  1. Ensure that you are personally spending time with God apart from lesson preparation
  2. Don't allow yourself to become so busy that you let your guard down.
  3. If you are advancing the cause of Jesus Christ, know that Satan has you in his crosshairs. God has guaranteed victory to all those who walk in it, but that doesn't erase the attacks by the evil one and his minions.

The link below expounds on these thoughts.
