Are you WALKing?

Got an email from our friends at the UMJC (Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations) with a good challenge to their constituents.  It’s a good word, and I thought I’d reproduce it for you here  :
W Working
Are you working ...on your character traits? Are those around you affected positively by your example of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus)?
A Alive
Are you alive ... living a spiritually healthy and vibrant Messianic Jewish life? Are Scripture, tradition, and prayer through the Spirit of Messiah empowering and renewing you daily?
L Learning
HPIM1550Are you learning ... committed to your personal spiritual growth as a diligent student of Scripture?  Are you becoming the knowledgeable teacher Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) needs to help build his Messianic Community?
K Kiruv (kiruv means outreach)
Are you doing kiruv ... reaching out within your Jewish community with the Good News of Messiah Yeshua? Do you both publicly and privately share about God's truth and faithfulness in Messiah?
As Paul said, “So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace” (Romans 11:5).
