Are You Well?

God has called His followers to be people of hope. However, we will never be a person of hope or be able to pass hope on to others unless we are W.E.L.L. as it is described in Acts 2:42-47.
 

W - A worshiper of God: do we live a life of worship, focused on bringing God pleasure in all we say and do?

 

E - An evangelist for God: are we compelled to share God's love and peace with those we meet, where everyday activities become opportunities to point others toward God?

 

L - Life-long learners of God's Word: do we hunger to know God more to the point that we miss time in His Word more than we miss food. Do we have an anticipation and excitement to see what God will teach us today as we read the Bible and once we have learned something are we compelled to share that with others?

 

L - Are we loving in all we do? The 2 commands that summarize all Scripture are Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength ... and love your neighbor as yourself. Does the world in which we live everyday truly know we are God’s disciples because of our love for each other.

 

Only when we are WELL will we be able to reach our full potential as people of God. Just consider what was happening at the end of these verses. It says, “And God added daily those who were being saved.” I pray that every follower of Jesus and every church will become WELL once again so that we may see people saved every day as we reach out to the world who is searching for true, lasting hope.
