 High court case could change car-chase rules
-
USA Today
A controversy over the use of high speed car chases, which often cause serious injury to suspects, bystanders, and police officers, rages in the Supreme Court. Compare this method of police apprehension to the way you share your faith with others. Is relentless pursuit the way to win souls for Christ?
-
In Matthew 28: 17-20 Jesus commands his followers to "go and make disciples of all nations." How do you obey this command to share your faith with those around you? Evangelism can take many forms. Does your technique resemble a high speed, pursue at all costs car chase, or are you more like an employee with "How can I help you?" embroidered on their vest? How so? Do you think one technique is better than another? Why or why not?
-
How does having an existing relationship help your efforts to evangelize people? What kind of credibility do you think an existing relationship gives you?
-
Have you ever met someone who came to Christ through the evangelism efforts of someone they did not know? How about someone who responded to an altar call in church or a major crusade?
-
Jesus taught his disciples he was the Son of God in the context of a long-term relationship. See John 4: 4-30. How long does it take for Jesus to establish a relationship in this passage? What is the end result?
-
What do you think determines the best way for you to lead others to Christ? (your own personality) See John 16: 5-15. Whatever approach you use, who is ultimately responsible for a sinner's conversion?
-
See Acts 11:1-18. Who led Peter's efforts to tell others about Christ? How does the Holy Spirit direct our efforts today?

Of all the values and skills we need to build into our children’s hearts, courage is the most important one. It tops faith, integrity, endurance, and self-discipline.
The reason it stands above all of these other wonderful qualities is because they are each dependent upon courage in order to thrive.

How do you define success for your child? "Graduates from a prestigious college." "Nabs a high-paying job." "Settles down with a nice family." Sounds good. But what if you got it all wrong?
What about greatness? Where does it fit in? "If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you'll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives," says author Tim Kimmel. In Raising Kids for True Greatness, Kimmel turns the definition of success on its head and guides you in preparing your child for a life that will easily eclipse the goals of those who are merely successful.
