Family Quest: Extreme Makeover, Spiritual Edition – Section 1, Lesson 3
LESSON 3: MAY YOUR “LIFE SONG” RING TRUE
A couple of weeks ago we looked at what makes a good witness. One of those attributes was consistency. In a court of law the jury and judge will look at the witness and ask, “is this person credible?”, “does the life of this witness match their testimony, lend credibility, or not?”
To make matters worse, it is common for the opposing lawyer to pick apart the witness and undermine their testimony by trying to show that they are in fact unreliable and inconsistent. The opposing lawyer in our case is Satan himself. The accuser. Praise God that ultimately we stand on His promises and on His righteousness. Not our own. However, the accuser will seek to limit our effectiveness as witnesses to the gospel by magnifying the inconsistencies between our words and the lives we lead. The message is simple – “walk the talk!” Or as James 1:22 puts it, “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”

ABOUT FAMILY QUEST: At Reston Bible Church, we firmly believe that parents are a child’s first and most important spiritual leader. In order to support you that mission, we have created a parent devotional and some discussion starters to go along with each lesson your grade school age children are learning at Quest on Sundays. Our hope and prayer is that this material will help you to engage with your children around the topics they are learning on Sunday mornings, answer their questions, go deeper with them, and find real, day-to-day applications. We are honored to be able to partner with you in the critical task of sharing Christ with the next generation.

Daniel Pfaff Memorial Service
Many of you know by now that Jesus welcomed Daniel Pfaff into His peaceful presence last Saturday afternoon. We are grateful for your continued prayers for his family and wanted to let you know that the arrangements for the memorial service have been finalized.
The Celebration of Life Service for Daniel Pfaff will be held at Reston Bible Church (45650 Oakbrook Court, Dulles, VA 20166) this Saturday, July 7.
- 9:30 – 11:00am – Visitation with the family in the sanctuary
- 11:00am -12:00pm – Celebration of Life Service
- 1:00pm – The family will leave for a small graveside service
If you would like to do something in Daniel’s honor, in lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in his name to either of the following:
Dubois County Community Foundation/Daniel Pfaff Endowment
600 McCrillus St. P.O. Box 269 Jasper, IN 47547-0269
This endowment fund will carry on Daniel’s life mission by giving youth the opportunity to get to know Jesus through Young Life summer camps.
WGTS 91.9 / WGTS919.com
Daniel loved listening to music, and this was his favorite radio station. It served as a constant source of encouragement and worship for Daniel and his family and is completely supported by listeners. On their website, you’ll find a small red icon that says “Give Now” which you can click to make a donation.
…For I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Philippians 1:19-21

Family Quest: Extreme Makeover, Spiritual Edition – Section 1, Lesson 2
LESSON 2: CHRISTIAN WITNESSING – SHARE SIMPLY, AS A CHILD
This week we will be helping the kids understand what it means to witness in word. We’ll talk about the simple gospel message and we’ll talk about testifying to Christ in our lives. This is the kind of spiritual maturity we should all be praying for in our Quest kids.
Christian witnessing is merely sharing our heartfelt faith in Christ – what He’s personally done to change our individual lives! We’re not called to argue or debate anyone into heaven. We’re merely called to share! As in the courtroom, we’re called to be a witness for the Gospel, not the lawyer, judge or jury… Leave that up to God! – Author unknown
