Introduction to the resource: “Cultivating Your 1st Love”




“The most important thing about us, and the single greatest factor that determines our fruitfulness as leaders, is the quality of our heart relationship with Jesus Christ.”

Dr Bill Bright used to say: “It’s possible that the greatest threat to our walk with God can be our ministry for God.” We must never allow our joy and desire for the ministry to become more important than our joy and desire for Jesus Christ.

The above quotes are taken from the following study on “Cultivating your first love.”  I remember hearing Dr Bright, the founding president of Campus Crusade for Christ, say hundreds of times, “please pray that I don’t leave my first love.”  He understood that the key to being usable to God was maintaining our ‘first love’ relationship with Him.

This study is will help to guide you through a time of reflection & evaluation concerning your love relationship with Him  I hope that you will come away from your time in the Word with Him with some concrete plans of how you can cultivate your 1st love relationship with Jesus.

Note: Please ignore the article attached to this study.  Because of the length of the study and especially the length of the article, I will blog about the article next week.  This is such good material, that I don’t want you to rush through both in one week.
