Being a new father, I've been learning so much in a short time about our relationship to God and others.
As I watch and observe my new son I realize that without me intervening in his life he is completely hopeless and will die. Why? Because he is a baby. He can't feed himself, take care himself, or do anything without my help.
When I observe new Christians I realize they are in the same boat. Without someone mature intervening in their life their spiritual life is completely hopeless and will die. Not all, but some.
As believers we have an opportunity to take new believers under our influence and help them grow up in Christ. We can teach them how to feed themselves, walk with God, and grow up in Christ on their own. But, sadly we don't want to take the time to do this. We want to see new believers immediately feed themselves, mature to our level, and do it on their own.
Who around you can you take them time and disciple them, so that they'll make it as a follower of Jesus?
Boyd Bettis can be described as the following: strikingly similar in looks to brad pitt, has the chin of George Clooney, the tender fatherlyness of Mr. Rogers, and humor of Michael Scott.
