Ephesians 4:16~
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Ephesians and Colossians make it clear that no person or group of people is in charge of the Church. The Church is led by Jesus. He sets our direction. He shows us what to do. He is the reason we do ministry. Jesus also ... moreGood night brothers and sisters
Ephesians 4:16~
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Ephesians and Colossians make it clear that no person or group of people is in charge of the Church. The Church is led by Jesus. He sets our direction. He shows us what to do. He is the reason we do ministry. Jesus also puts us in His Body in the way He wants, gives us gifts to use to bless each other and God, and keeps us together so we can be His presence in the world. So let's focus on Jesus. Let's let His life and love teach us how to love and serve. Let's stand by Him and be true to Him. He is the only one in charge of His Body, the Church. Let's let Him lead!
Prayer: Thank you, Righteous Father, for giving us Jesus. Thank you for the way He served, listened, loved, and gave up Himself. Thank you for His resurrection, exaltation, power, and presence in Your Church and in my life today. Father, please use me and my fellow Christians to do His work in the world and share Your grace with everyone who is lost. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

1 Timothy 4:15-16~ Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
Be diligent!" These days, you don't hear that phrase very often. We would like things to be easy. In the world of fake religion, sweating is looked down upon. Paul wanted Timothy (and us) to know, though, that growing up in Christ takes real work. Having a good effect on other people is hard work. God's power changes things, but we also have to do our part. God tells us that this work will not only help us get to heaven, but it will also help other people get there as well.
Prayer: Abba Father, please give me confidence, courage, hard work, and determination so that the salvation You have given me can be shared with others through my life, my teaching, and my example. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

1 thessalonians 4:14~ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
Even though Jesus' death on the cross was horrible, it wasn't the end of His story. Jesus died, but He came back to life. Because Jesus rose from the dead, we can believe two things: 1) that Jesus will come back in glorious victory for those who have believed in Him, and 2) that when Jesus comes back, we will be with those we... moreGood morning brothers and sisters

Prayer: Holy and powerful Father, thank you for raising Jesus from the dead and giving me the promise that I will live forever with you and with the people I love who have already died. I can't wait for the day when Jesus comes back in glory with all the angels of heaven and brings death to an end. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

If you are younger, you are not only part of the church of tomorrow, but you are also God's servant today. Serve Him well and show the older people how to do it!

The idealistic passions of youth can't be explained away or pushed aside in a condescending manner. If you are younger, you are not only part of the church of tomorrow, but you are also God's servant today. Serve Him well and show the older people how to do it! If you are older, don't look down on young people's enthusiasm. Instead, encourage it and let it inspire you to be like them. Let's not forget that some of our best role models are young people who serve the Lord with strong faith.
Prayer: Father, thank you so much for Christians who are young adults and full of energy, enthusiasm, and passion. As they grow and mature in your service, help their witness, bless their service, and keep their hearts clean. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

The gifts we receive are provided to us for use in God's Kingdom for two purposes: 1) to glorify God, and 2) to bless others. It is with these two objectives in mind that we should serve or speak, confident that God will give us the courage to utilize the skills He has provided us.
Prayer: Holy Father, thank you for not only saving me but also giving me skills I can use to bless your people and honor you. Help me see how you want me to use my gifts to bless others today and every day after that. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

1 John 4:10~ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Love is shown, not just talked about. Love doesn't wait until things are easy or safe before it shares itself. Love saves when it seems like all hope is gone. Love is not only something that God is, but also something that He does and gives.

James always crams a lot of information into a small space. Let's pay attention to what this call to holiness is all about: getting closer to God. When we come into God's presence and get close to Him, we know that His holiness and righteousness will reveal our thoughts, motives, and actions for what they are. At the same time, we know that the holy life of our Father drives the devil away. Let's seek after God. Let's desire to get closer to Him. Let's ask Him to wash us clean and make us His, holy in every way.
Prayer: Righteous Father, thank you for your love and forgiveness. Now, dear Father, please help me as I try to get closer to you and learn more about you. Cleanse my heart of any lying or hidden sin. Cleanse my heart and give me the strength to show others your grace and holiness. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

In a world where people live by different rules, it's easy to ignore the call to be holy. Satan gets us to compare our lives to those around us, making us think that our sins aren't as bad as those of other people. But what matters is a thankful heart that has been cleansed by the Holy Spirit and saved by grace, not comparing how bad our sins are. When you ignore or downplay the Spirit's call to be holy, you are rejecting God. Let's care deeply about holiness in our lives, both because God wants it and because we should want it.
Prayer: Father, please forgive me for trying to make my sin seem less important. Use Your Spirit to make me want to be holy, and give me the strength to live in a way that honors You for all You did to save me. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
