This
week discussion talks about the life of Martin of tours and Saint Ambrose of
Milan and how they influenced the society as they became influential through
their teaching that makes people think. They have different background just
like Martin who had pagan parents unlike Milan for he was born in a Christian
family. I learned that God can use different types of people to be known and
preserve the Christian development in a particular society. It doesn’t matter
how intelligent a person is but how determine and sincere to do the ministry
through serving people in the areas of physical and spiritual needs.
From
my experience, I want to change the way I interact with other people especially
those who needs help. There are some people who are still innocent about Jesus and
confuse the assurance of salvation. As a servant of Christ, I want to have the
willingness of the heart to listen and correct the negative thoughts because it
might produce negative result as well. It is hard somehow to develop the good
character when there are people who become the stumbling block of doing
opposite thing.
The
first thing I will take is that I would like to practice humility when reaching
out people to Christ because it becomes a challenge for me because not all
people I meet understand my teaching. It takes time to develop the habit of
being humble in presence of the people around me. I would like to develop the
character of being a good listener because as a preacher. I can make an impact
to the people by listening to their needs and concerns about the status of
their lives. in order to understand the situation that they have, I will ask
them a question relevance to their experience. The more I become sensitive to
other people, the more I learn to determine their strengths and weaknesses that
would help me where I can help them develop their capabilities. I will continue
to live my life in Christ through being a good steward of my time and task.
