We’ll be looking at our 4th line in the covenant:

“We will endeavor to bring up such as may at any time be under our care, in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and by a pure and loving example to seek the salvation of our family and friends.“

This one makes me smile because whenever we recite this out loud together we all get tongue tied halfway through! But the big idea is really simple: our call to follow Christ is also a call to live an evangelistic lifestyle. We live this out as a church as we pray for and seek the salvation of our loved ones together.

We can prepare for Sunday by reading the text from Colossians 4:2-6 -

Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison-that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak. Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.
