"These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children..." (From Deuteronomy 6:6-7)
What will our legacy be?
How are we using our time and resources?
Are we leaving our loved ones the best legacy, which is a knowledge of the word of God?
How are we demonstrating that we are people of prayer?
Pastor Aurelio asked us these questions during this past Sunday's sermon, and we would do well to know the answers. Scripture is full of examples of men and women who were tagged for certain characteristics: Daniel was tagged as a man of prayer. David was tagged as a man of worship. Abraham was tagged as a man of faith.
We can think of modern men and women as well. There are those who have become so legendary in their passion for God that we know them instantly. Finney. Moody. Wilkerson. Cymbala.
And here at BBCN, yes, even our own Publio. The man who went from door to door, prayed over maps of the Bronx, walked through the neighborhood claiming souls for Jesus, laughed, danced, and loved honestly and deeply. We can say there was no question of his love, his faith, his worship, his prayer life. Everyone knew Publio was authentically and unapologetically Christian.
What will people say about you when you're gone?
