 Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 2 Timothy 4:2 NIV

I thought I would take today to talk a little about inspiration.  Mine, particularly.

Garbage in / garbage out. Grace in / grace out.

It really is [...]

What line were you in when God was handing out his gifts?

On October 5, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In devotions

It was he {Christ} who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the [...]

The Church isn’t a denomination. It isn’t a cathedral or a monastery or a brick building with a large wooden cross. The church isn’t made of sticks and bricks and nails and mortar. It’s made of people, of followers. The Church is the body of Christ, not a building.

God knows what he’s doing

God calls certain people to do certain tasks. Everyone who calls Him King has a place and a duty in the Kingdom of God. Some are called to teach, others to preach. Some are called to sing and others are called to pray incessantly. Those who are called to work with prisoners probably won’t work well in the nursery and those called to pray may not make the best preachers.
