Hebrews 5:12
12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Some of us are not certified to be a pastor or preacher but the bible says we are commanded to teach the gospel (Jesus' offering Salvation) to every person.
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
(Mark 16:15)
- If you have enough Bible knowledge to lead a bible study then lead one in your own church! or in your home.
- Help revive ministry in other churches if they are not strong enough
- If you go to mall a lot, be sure to give a tract to strangers.
- If you are a college student living in a dorm, leave a tract in the bathrooms / restrooms.
- Leave a tract on the table before you left out of a restaurant / diner.
- If you couldn't go anywhere without a ride, try to share the gospel in public chatrooms / online forum, (be careful not to cuss or participate in inappropriate topics.) Note: Christian chatrooms on the other sites are always filled with hate, dirty talk, so be on your guard. More importantly, protect yourself, don't give your address or text number.
if there's anyone in the public chatrooms that want to know more about God, be prepared to give the resources to study God's word and help them find a nearby church.
The English idiom / phrase, "Apple of the eye" came from the Bible (Deuteronomy 32:10, Psalms 17:8, Proverbs 7:2, Lamentations 2:18, Zechariah 2:8)
It means something or somebody you deeply cherish. For example, "my friend's daughter is the apple of his eye" means his daughter is very, very precious to him.
Another example...."After adopting a new dog, she eventually became the apple of her eye. She fell in love with her new pet. She walks her dog every day and they always play together."
There's a good verse from the bible that uses the English idiom:
Proverbs 7:2 (KJV)
Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
This scripture teaches that when Jesus sacrificed himself for us, all of our sins are forgiven, it does not mean we can sin freely as we want to. We are commanded to keep the Lord's commandments and cherish them completely as if His Word is our only treasure then we will live well. It might be impossible NOT to break his commandments but if we continue to practice God's principles, our fruit of the spirit will grow and stay strong, then we will be more blessed through our relationship with God.
Ask yourselves: Have you analyzed your relationship with God? He deeply cares for us because we are the apple of his eye.
1 John 4:9 (KJV)
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
