​God with us: Weekly Pastoral Devotional

In college I applied for and was accepted as a D.C (discipleship coordinator) in on my floor in my dorm and the next year promoted for the whole dorm.  This role involved planning floor prayer gatherings, being available for counseling or spiritual guidance and working with other D.C's to plan spiritual events.

Unfortunately we were labeled with a different nickname around campus using the same acronym,  designated Christians.  People jokingly assumed that because we took on this role, we were more spiritual or superior to them.  We weren't, we were just trying to help.

The same is true with Sunday School teachers, Youth Leaders, Worship Leaders and even Pastors.  We aren't spiritual superheros...just people trying our best to help others grow in faith.
And yet, we are seen as people you delegate your spiritual growth to.  Send your kids to Sunday School and their spiritual development is taken care of.  Send them to youth camp and they will stay on the straight and narrow.  Listen to Pastor Scott's sermon (even if it is just online) and you will be a good Christian.

But we can't outsource our spiritual growth.  Classes and groups and sermons are tools, but they can't replace our own ownership of our spiritual health.  Just like a personal trainer is helpful in physical fitness but the person is still responsible; so you are still the person in charge of your own soul.

There are no designated Christians...just Christians.  We help each other, of course, but we also must own our own faith growth.  Are you caring for your soul regularly?  Are you taking ownership of your own spiritual health through daily study, prayer and time with God?  You can't outsource it...you got to own it.
​
In Christ,
Pastor Scott
