In Acts 2:42, we have a revealing glimpse of the emerging Church and the priorities of its people: “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers” (NKJV). We see here that fellowship requires involvement in the lives of others. It is literally partnership and participation. …
Many Christian parents have pushed their children to be a pastor or preacher without really knowing from the Holy Spirit that it is God’s will. They assume that these ministries must be the highest calling. However, if that child is not truly called by God to fulfill such an assignment, he will struggle throughout life …
We are not all the same, nor are we called to be clones of some “superstar” in the Christian world. Each of us has been placed in Christ and must therefore cultivate our individual place of service to Him. When this truth becomes real to us, the importance of the various positions in the Body …
Peter described this grace as possessing a variety of facets. The King James Version translates it as the “manifold grace of God” in First Peter 4:10. Notice The Amplified Bible: “As each of you has received a gift (a particular spiritual talent, a gracious divine endowment), employ it for one another as befits good trustees …
The grace of God is such a vast subject that scholars have filled volumes in examining its aspects. However, every believer needs to know the ways in which God’s grace is essential to living and growing in the midst of his or her circumstances. One of my priorities has always been that the truths from …
When we do not grow in grace, undesirable roots will begin to grow on the inside of us contaminating the pure power of God’s presence. And not only will we be changed as the presence of grace fades in our lives, but those we influence may also be contaminated by the bitter results we experience. …
How refreshing it is to be with those who live in grace! We notice it in their words, their priorities, and their interests. The world’s standards do not dictate or even influence their goals. Their desire is to do the will of their Father in Heaven. Jesus reveals the attitude of grace in Luke 6:30-34: …
When God has gives us His vision, He supplies us with the grace to fully accomplish His plan and then sustain it. James 4:6 says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (NKJV). When we humbly receive God’s desire and pursue His plan with all our hearts, He will provide the grace …
Our fall from grace can be seen when our personal ambition reigns supreme in our lives. It becomes apparent when we push to do what we want, regardless of God’s desire for us. This kind of ambition can be very deceptive. It is always driven and directed by goals we want to accomplish. When our …
Our faith-filled prayers and giving bring our needs before the throne of God. Both our praying and our giving are evidence that we are looking to God to meet our needs or change our circumstances and not to our own ability. When we honor Him in our praying and giving, He will direct us and …
