THE WORD ON THE STREET

Today's reading: Philemon

"I always thank God when I pray for you, Philemon, because I keep hearing of your trust in the Lord Jesus and your love for all of God's people." Philemon v.4-5 NLT

What's the word on the street about you, Christian brother or sister?

What has your pastor heard about you?

Your Sunday School teacher?

Your small group leader?

What's the scoop?

Are people hearing about your good works, your godly character and your attempt to reach the world for Jesus--and are praying for you?

Or, are they hearing about your cussing, stomping fit at the WalMart customer service counter? Your spreading gossip in the church parking lot? Are they hearing things about you that give them reason to pray for you? I mean, pray for you, because you need the Lord!
