GET INDOCTRINATED

Luke 16:8- “…for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.”



Every organization—from school systems to professional sports teams—is regulated by a set of rules. Whenever individuals join or become part of a new outfit, one of the first items on the agenda is to go over the policies and procedures or the “dos and don’ts” of the organization. I recall that a great deal of basic training was spent being indoctrinated to the order, discipline, and protocols of the military to include the Uniform Code of Military Justice. My question for the Body of Christ is: “If the world operates with such structure, then why can’t the church meet (or exceed) the same standard?”



I can see why Jesus made the objective observation that “the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.” How sad it is that many who are part of the most powerful organization in the world, the church, haven’t been properly indoctrinated! There are a host of individuals who aren’t familiar with The Manual that regulates our conduct—The Word of God. As Christians, each one of us must do our part to rectify the problem. If you’re saved and aren’t part of a church, begin your quest for one by visiting this Sunday. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to a Bible teaching church that will help you grow in the things of God. If you are part of a local assembly, take your Christianity seriously by participating in its Christian Education programs. Begin by attending this Sunday!



Let’s Pray:“
Father, help us to become indoctrinated to Christianity by learning Your Word. Give us a yearning for The Bible, in Jesus’ Name, amen.”



Daily Prayer:
“Oh, that You would bless me indeed,

and enlarge my territory,

that Your hand would be with me,

and that You would keep me from evil,

that I may not cause pain!”
