Become As I Am EXCEPT…s6e18 Gal4:12

Could you say, "Become as I am."?  That is, could you tell your young mentee to be like yourself? With a PERIOD at the end of the sentence? Paul did.  We'll explore this concept by making a few exceptions. Perhaps we'd say something more like this:

Become like I am EXCEPT...

• for the way I drive.  Other people are just idiots.
• for my giving habits.  I give some. The rest is mine.
• for my church going habits.  Do you know how messy they are in there?
• for my discipline of consuming food or drink.  I like a big buzz.
• for my areas of sensuality.  You don't want what goes through my head or my zipper going through yours
• for my heart for the unsaved. That's what pastors are for.
• for my tongue.  I just say what I want.
• for my devotion to serving.  Do you have any idea how busy I am?
• for my anger.  All my people are angry people.  Deal with it.
• for my love.  Nope.  that doesn't characterize my life.

There is a Big challenge today in being like Paul.  Let's just SAY IT out loud to my imaginary young believer:  BE LIKE ME EXCEPT...
