In Touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley.

Next on In Touch, encouraging one another.

What type person you consider yourself to be?

Would you say that you are outgoing and friendly, easy to know,

confident, you're very comfortable in a crowd, people like you, you like being in a crowd,

or you can be just as happy being by yourself? But there's something about you that's sort of contagious.

In other words, people like to be around you. Or would you say, no, I'm sort of self-contained?

I don't need all that. And I just sort of like to keep my religion to myself and my faith to myself.

And I just sort of like to do my own thing.

I don't want really anybody getting too personal with me.

I'm not very comfortable with a group.

I may stand on the outside, but that's okay.

That's sort of who I am.

And I don't have to have a bunch of friends.

I just, me, myself and I, and you know, as long as

I get along, now I have what I need, and I know that I've been saved back yonder somewhere,

then that's the way I am. That may be the way you are, but that's not the way God intended

you to be. That's not who He created us to be.

What kind of person does God intend for us to be?

And is the Scripture specific about that?

In other words, not just in some generality, but is the

scripture specific about the kind of person we should be?
