This is it, Christians. Humility and hospitality are the key postures of our faith. The current strident, exclusionary, controlling expression of Christianity that is in ascendancy is a regression away from the spirit of Christ.
Whether it’s charismatic Christians who can’t reckon with sickness, intellectual Christians who only live in their heads, or upwardly mobile Christians who have always lived with convenience, many have zero to say, because the Cross has been misappropriated up to this point.
Get ready to join @ElimPrayerUK and #Elim churches across the nations from Tuesday 15 to Thursday 17 September for 3 days of prayer and fasting with a mixture of morning, daytime and evening online prayer. https://t.co/64N7AiY8tA
“Aspire to be the very best and most fruitful you that you can be for God’s glory. Don’t dishonor God by devaluing the gifts he’s given you. Don’t waste valuable time grumbling about gifts you don’t have or resenting others for the gifts they do have.”
—@Bloom_Jon
“Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down.” —Philippians 4:6-7 MSG
John Piper: “Don’t just read the Bible. The devil knows the Bible by heart. He used it against Jesus. Rather, linger in God’s word, love the truth, and plead with him to open the eyes of your heart.”
Job is mourning what he considers was the most fruitful season of his life; yet it is his current season (steadfastness in suffering) that he will ultimately be remembered and commended for.
Instead of our normal mindset that we simply don't have enough time, what if we embraced this truth?
"His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness."—2 Peter 1:3
Get back into fellowship with other believers and get back to the place of worship. Do it today, don't put it off any longer. Let His mercy pick you up now and return you to a pathway of strength.
