Like-Mindedness: Growing in Our Service to Jesus

When looking for someone to care for the church, as Paul carefully and prayerfully considered those closest to him, only Timothy sought the Lord first alongside of him. Everyone else he could think of wanted their own things, selfishly. Isn't that sad? Nothing halts the joyful progress of the gospel more than those who selfishly serve, not seeking the things which are of Jesus.

Pastoral Reflections to Grow in Our Ministry

One of the best practical things you can do to improve your service is to be very observant, expectantly ready to take care of things that need to be done, without waiting to be asked. As you're observing, put yourself in the shoes of those you're serving and ask yourself. With eyes wide open, Spiritually sensitive to the situation, you'll have more ministry than you can possibly handle, ministry that the Spirit of God will direct you in.

Paying It Back

Has the Lord been tugging on your heart recently and feelings of sorrow and remorse are surfacing? Follow them up with action, making things right with those you've wronged. Give God a chance to do great and wonderful things in reconciliation!

Purse Snatchers

Peter reminded us to continually be on the alert spiritually, remembering that we have an adversary the devil who roams about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Don't let your guard down, friend. Stay alert.

Stay Close

Have you ever considered how abiding in Jesus is really just a strong encouragement to stay close to Him, in Him, and around Him?

Fitting In

It looks like the people that seem to be happy are the popular ones, the centers of attention. It's not true of course, everyone has their issues in life, but perceptions can really mess with our heads.

Disciples Not Consumers

The all-consuming mentality of "consumerism" has invaded the church of Jesus Christ. Rather than prayer and reliance on the Holy Spirit, church leaders are more interested in catchy phrases, intelligent marketing ideas, polished plagiarized sermons, and packaged church growth programs to bring more people into their buildings.
