A well-known teacher gave Alabamians a preview of his new course of study during the State Evangelism Conference.
During sessions of the discipleship track, T.W. Hunt presented “Conforming to the Image of Christ,” the first part of “The Real Christian Life.” He will lead the entire study at Ridgecrest and Glorieta assemblies this year.
“Only God can do God’s work,” Hunt said. The soft-spoken teacher said Christians should realize as Jehoshaphat did, “I am nothing. You (God) are all.” Hunt said he began the day with a prayer that God would let him be useful to the end of his life.
Hunt noted that the Bible “is not about people; it is about God.” He gave examples of how to recognize the “main story.” In the “supposed story” of Peter’s denial- all are weak – the real story is “God foreknows and provides for our weakness.”
He said loving God should motivate Christians to seek God’s kingdom first. “What is your first thought every day?” Hunt asked. He said prayers should first lift up missionaries and persecuted Christians.
Hunt pointed out many biblical references to the “perfect other directedness” in the triune nature of God- the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit – with each of the Persons pointing to the others. He noted Jesus showed that God is love and the ultimate nobility is humility.
“God created us in order to have a family with whom to share His glory,” Hunt said. “Our job in life is to know God as He really is.”
