Here is part 3 of these videos. I hope you all are watching them and learning from the Harris twins' discussions!
This is probably one of the most important videos in the series. I hope you payed close attention to what they taught. I do not wish to re-state all they said, but the two points I would like to review are these:
Remember what was said in the beginning of the video? Babies have to overcome their obstacles of learning to walk, talk, etc. and yet teens aren't expected to be able to properly carry on a normal conversation, let alone speak out in front of a crowd. This applies in many areas, but this is just one. We lower our standards to less then our God-given potential.
Also, the diving-board was mentioned. This is an awesome example of how we are to use the teen years; and how, if used properly, they can extend the lengths to which we are able to "dive into" service. If we cling to the "diving board", though, we will abuse the time and energy God gave us to prepare for the future "leap". But if we prepare we will take the leap gracefully, and "make waves" in the pool, persay. It's something for you all to think on.
Some questions for you:
If babies are expected to overcome their obstacles, what do you think should be expected of us in certian areas? Do you think the idea of how far our potential lies has been lowered?
In what areas are you, persay, "clinging to the diving-board"? Are you preparing yourself for service, or are you standing on the edge, scared of what lies in the waters? How can you take a leap today?
I hope this gives you all something to think on and that you all will leave your thoughts for me!
