Reverence is

the signs of strength;
irreverence one of
the surest indications
of weakness. No man

Role Models
by Greg Gwin
When it comes to sports — we do it. In business — we do it. In almost every field of endeavor we look for role models. We try to find others who have been successful, and then we imitate them. God's word tells us to do the same thing in spiritual matters.
The best role models are found right there in the Scriptures. Jesus is the ultimate example:
"For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps" (I Peter 2:21).
Other great heroes of faith serve as good role models, too. Paul urged us to be: "followers of me, even as I also am of Christ" (1 Corinthians 11:1). In another place he wrote: "Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample" (Philippians 3:17). Hebrews chapter eleven is full of examples of faithful men and women who serve as worthy patterns for us to imitate.
Some might complain that it is hard to fully relate to someone that we can only read about in a book. "Paul was a great Christian", they would say, "but we live in a different world. It's hard to imagine how Paul would deal with our situation." For these folks, let us suggest that they can also look to their own brethren. In any church there are faithful, zealous, devoted Christians who are working hard to live for the Lord. They resist temptation, spread the word, encourage others and generally work tirelessly to do His will. Look to them. Imitate them.
We know this method works. In all sorts of endeavors we look for "winners" and we copy them. Let's do the same thing when it comes to our most important endeavor — serving God!
