When done right, the Church has the potential to be the greatest representation of the Kingdom of God.
When done wrong, the Church can be the biggest barrier to people truly encountering the Kingdom of God.
“Through HIM everyone who BELIEVES is set free from every sin.” (Acts 13:39)
Many of us want the feeling of FREEDOM before the action of FAITH.
This is Backwards.
Our FAITH informs our FREEDOM.
“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
-1 Corinthians 15:57
My prayer is that we are a people who are grateful for the cross DAILY. Easter is so much bigger than one Sunday a year.
Needed this today:
“So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that NOTHING you do for the Lord is EVER useless.”
1 Corinthians 15:58
