What Do You Make Time For?
BIBLE MEDITATION: "For thou shalt be His witness unto all men of
what thou hast seen and heard." Acts 22:15
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: What is more important in your
life today? Seeing your daytime soap opera or asking an unsaved neighbor over for a chance to
love them to Jesus? Joining your buddies for a round of golf, or visiting your unsaved father?
Going shopping with your friends, or taking the time to read the Bible to a lost person in a
nursing home? Someone wisely observed, "We managed to make time during the day for what's really
important to us." Friend, the time is running out. We will not be witnessing in heaven. This is
our earthly duty and privilege now. None of us knows how many hours we have left. We must seize
the golden opportunities that God gives us daily to witness.
ACTION POINT: A line from "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" is our challenge: "Oh, be swift, my
soul to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on."
Key Hermeneutical Concepts to Consider towards a Missional Hermeneutic: •Scripture as a communicative and missional speech act •The in-breaking kingdom of God in ancient and modern perspective; how is this text testifying to the in-breaking, the irruption, of the kingdom? How can I see the in-breaking kingdom reality, now fulfilled in Jesus Christ, take root in the contemporary world? •Christotelic reading of OT text; Christ functioning as the goal of this text. by Prof. Michael Kelly
About Me
- REV. MW COUCH: 9:00 AM Sunday. www.nbcop.org
- 4200 Roosevelt Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19124
- The Rev. Michael Couch has been preaching the “Good News” of Jesus Christ for more than 15 years. His commitment to building the family and building the Church through evangelism is guided by one burning thought: “Fight the Good Fight of Faith.” To this end, he has fought against the privatization of public schools, and against river boat and casino gambling. He has fought for stronger gun control legislation, fought for reform in criminal sentencing, and he has fought for a citywide AIDS awareness project. Yet one of his greatest fights for the family has been his work in housing. Realizing the wealth-building importance of owning a home and the many obstacles that stand in the way, Rev. Couch became the founding president of Christian Credit Development, a credit repair and mortgage brokerage service that, to date, has secured homes for more than 700 families.
