I was talking with my cousin tonight. He is working on his dissertation in New Testament Studies. I am proud of him. He is one of those guys I know I can tell anything to and he will give me his unabashed honest opinion. In our conversation I was complaining about one of those things that I believe every Christian is called to do, but I think is so rarely seen in our churches. As we were talking I thought and said to him, you know what I think I should write a book on mentoring. I believe that every believer is called to share what they know with those less mature in the faith as them. I think to often we get into this mentality thinking "I should only be concerned with my own walk with God." Yet through out the whole of scripture we see cases of individuals pouring themselves into those around them. I am thinking I will take a look at the relationships of people like Paul and Timothy, Moses and Joshua, Jesus and the three. Look at how they did it, and ways we can apply that to our own lives so that we may become someone's Paul, or Moses. We are all called to walk together.
I just thought I would put this out there, letting everyone know what I am thinking. I will be posting exerts from my work up here periodically so keep an eye out.
