In this message Pastor Jim continues our study in the Prison Prayers of the Apostle Paul. This prayer contains two petitions and the second one is what defines the Christian life and experience – to know the love of Christ in its breadth, length, height, and depth. Should we pray and God answer this prayer, it will be the very essence of a revived church and Christian.
Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ
Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ
Thought of the day—
It is the most dangerous of spiritual conditions to be in; to know areas of disobedience exist in our lives and do nothing about them. Whether it be the sins of spiritual neglect, indifference, laziness, worldliness, lack of self-control, uncontrolled speech, impulsive anger, impatience, critical spirit, judgmental attitude, or the lusts of the eyes and things of the world feeding the heart, this condition is the most serious in the life of a Christian. It silences the Voice and Work of the Spirit of God leading to a spiritual insensitivity. The result will be a life of lifeless, formal religion not Christ-centered, Biblical defined Christianity. And the longer this condition continues, the harder the heart becomes to where only an amazing work of grace in personal revival can recover this sick soul (Matthew 24:12).
