jan 3 : matthew 5

Hello. Its been tough thinking about being a small group leader. Its difficult to be a leader. Reading scripture I find that we will be judged harder. I know I am not a pastor, a deacon, or a teacher, but I still feel immensely responsible for the direction of the small group. I know I cannot adhere completely to the ways of an ideal Christian - I try and fail, but still I try. Jesus says, "Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven." I must try my very best to practice what we study in Bible study. I constantly tell my small group members what is right and wrong. I pinpoint single sins. I tell them not to think like this or that. But I find myself doing what I "preach" against. I do not want to be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. That would suck. The sermon on the mount gives us direction to being a healthy follower of Christ which ultimately ends in heaven. Its my decision, whether people know it or not, to follow. This is kind of where I want my small group to be. I would like to have a bible study on this. =]
