Paul tells us because of our identity in God, we are on a mission – to be salt and light in a culture desperately needing to see the reality of Him from His people. Part 3.
Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ
Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ
Thought of the day—
No Christian wakes up one morning in a worldly spiritual condition. No child of God immediately becomes a God-dishonoring backslider. And the subtle danger of being in this condition is that a Christian may still attend church, serve in ministry, and maintain a morally upright life. The backslider may still read the Bible and offer God words of prayer. But what is noticeably absent in the backslidden Christian is holy affection for Jesus. When this love for Him is cooled, zeal for holiness is gone; zeal for church is gone; zeal for prayer is gone; zeal to hear the Word preached is gone; zeal for fellowship with other Christians is gone; zeal for the salvation of souls is gone; zeal for spiritual growth is gone; and zeal to be as close to Christ as possible is gone. And we never just arrive in this sad spiritual place. It all begins with conscious decisions to neglect the means of grace God has given us—His Word, His church and private prayer (Proverbs 14:14).
