YOU CHANGED; YOU’RE RESPONSIBLE
August 21, 1977 Sunday P.M. SoG.

When you change, God lays a heavy trip on you, for the changes within you change the area of your responsibility. Once you move out to serve God, God expects all of the qualifications of discipleship to be fulfilled in you. Don’t draw back from a ministry involving responsibility, but always be sure that you enter it soberly with the due realization of your responsibilities. To whom much is given, much will be required.
