The Basic Training Challenge – The Church Then And NowSample

Day 12 — Warning Orders
Pray:
Lord God, quiet my soul and open my mind and heart to receive Your Word. Amen.
Read: Revelation 3:1-22
Reflect
In His message to the seven churches, Jesus praises some for keeping His Word and staying true to their faith. He also warns other churches for not being true to His direction and threatens them with what will happen if they do not renew their faith. What promises are made to those who do not back away from their Christian faith? What happens if I open the door when Jesus knocks (vv.19-22)? How hard is it to open my life to Jesus?
Respond
Heavenly Father, do not let me get caught up in the ways of this world, but help me to live in a way that honors You. Amen.
Scripture
About this Plan

God began by calling a man, then a nation, and finally through Jesus, established a church. The Basic Training Challenge provides you with a starting point to learn about God’s mission here on earth through the Christian church. Similar to your basic training, this plan will challenge you to get spiritually fit in God’s Word.
