Resolve

I’m part of the fellowship of the unashamed.  I have the Holy Spirit power.  The die has been cast.  I have stepped over the line.  The decision has been made – I’m a disciple of his.  I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.  My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure.  I’m finished and done with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits or popularity.  I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded.  I now live by faith, lean in his presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer, and I labor with power.

Opportunity

Opportunity to serve him is what God has presented to us in the Great Commission of Jesus Christ which is in the logo for this blog; “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28: 19-20

It is not only our duty to spread The Word of God but our command and Christians must look for a way to accomplish this with whatever talents God has given them. As you read this blog consider ways in which you can serve the Lord to reach others who do not yet know him.
