"Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast (persevere) in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith (truth, belief) of the gospel; And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God"
-Philippians 1:27-28
May those who hear of our community rejoice in the work that God is doing in us. Let us live and walk in a way that others can't help but take note and be provoked to jealousy- that they would desire such a relationship with the Lord. I've been facing some challenging moments at work in terms of tough conversations with many of my coworkers but through it I rejoice because every conversation is an opportunity for me to defend the truth of the gospel and the love of my Savior.
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching
-Hebrews 10:23-25
Provoke one another unto LOVE and GOOD WORKS. I look forward to Tuesday nights because I know every time we come together God moves and we witness and embrace His move and that is absolutely awesome! I encourage us to be faithful and consistent in our responsibility of lifting each other up to the Lord during the week (especially lifting up those who are serving by leading us) and to speak to one another as the Lord communicates to us. As a family, lets pray we are aware of one another's needs so we can be there for each other and let us, everyday, allow Jesus Christ to change us from the inside out. Be encouraged :)
