The Purpose Driven Life - Finding Your Purpose
CHAPTER 38 - BECOMING A WORLD CLASS CHRISTIAN
The Great Commission is your commission.
You have a choice to make. You will be either a world-class Christian or a worldly Christian.
Worldly Christian: - look to God for personal fulfillment
- saved, but self-centered
- "me-first" faith
World-Class Christian:
- know they are saved to serve
- made for a mission and purpose
- "others-first" faith
How can you shift from a worldly Christian to a world-class Christian? Here are a few ways:
1. Shift from self-centered thinking to other-centered thinking
2. Shift from local thinking to global thinking
3. Shift from "here and now" thinking to eternal thinking
4. Shift from thinking of excuses to thinking of creative ways to fulfill your commission

Point to Ponder: The Great Commission is my commission
Verse to Remember: "Send us around the world with the news of your saving power and your eternal plan for all mankind." Psalm 67:2 (LB)
Question to Consider: What steps can I take to prepare to go on a short-term missions experience in the next year?
