What God can do with nothing?
Martin Luther said, “Since it is God’s nature to make something out of nothing, we must become nothing before God can make something out of us.”
Adelaide A. Pollard, a 20th-century poet, made the same point in the hymn
“Have Thine Own Way”:
Have Thine own way, Lord!
Have Thine own way!
Thou art the potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.
Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” Only those who realize their spiritual poverty are eligible candidates for God’s kingdom.

Sunday School is made up of disciplers of Christ. They study faithfully the Word of God; they understand God’s will for their lives; and they apply what they learn.
A great goal for 2011 is to become a disciple of Christ. Just believing in Jesus is not enough to make it to heaven. Jesus told His disciples, “… go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Jesus may return this year of 2011. Let’s be prepared. Also a fair question to ask: "What are we doing now will make a difference one hundred years from now?"
