Jethro's Advice

Scripture. Exodus 18:20 Teach them God's decrees, and give them his instructions. Show them how to conduct their lives.

Observation. This was Jethro's advice to Moses. 3 steps to teach the people. Barry Buzza paraphrases this as to teach them the Word of God, The Ways of God, and the Work of God.

Application. I need to focus this year on the ways of God. Kingdom ways. Philosophy of Ministry. People need to understand the WHY of what we do. It is much like parenting - the kids need to not only know what, they need to know why.

Prayer. Lord, please help me to not only teach the why, but to live it out. I pray You would help me model the why.
