Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Thought for the Day: In 1903, President Teddy Roosevelt slipped away for a three-day camping trip in the Sierras. John Muir, the founder of the Sierra Club, was his guide. Because of Muir’s insight and passion, Roosevelt caught a glimpse of what a national park system might look like. During the next six years, Roosevelt worked to set aside nearly 150 million acres of land. Classrooms are okay settings for basic education, but if you want to help form people who will make a difference, you’ve got to take them where they can see and touch the subject of their course work. Christians can take a lesson from Muir’s technique.
Prayer: As you have formed me, O Gracious God, may I help to teach others in the way of discipleship. Amen.
