Humble in Spreading the Gospel, Near and Far

Do we identify ourselves as being missionaries? Is that what we do as a vocation, or is it a part of our everyday life as we go to and from work, and mix with all those we come into contact with each day? Being a missionary is not just an amazing calling, but should be the goal of every Christian. Spreading the gospel to one, or one hundred thousand makes no difference in what we are asked to do, and to what we are called. Whether we refer to ourselves as an evangelist, a missionary, or just a Christian... spreading the gospel is what we are meant to do.

Comfortable With God

Are there places that we don't feel at home in… even when we are with God? This is my morning thought. My goal in faith is to be comfortable with God wherever I am and in whatever circumstance I find myself... So how do I get there? God is at home everywhere, so no matter where we are, the discomfort we might feel is ours... not his. There is a wonderful passage of scripture in Psalms 139 that speaks to this subject, and we should keep it in the forefront of our minds…

Do we Pray for deliverance, or avoidance?

There are occasions in life when our troubles, or enemy, seem overwhelming and there is no hope for us, except in the Lord. We feel overwhelmed in such times, and before we go to war, or confront our troubles, we are quite certain we have already been undone, or defeated. But in such times we are not powerless, and our hope is not lost, quite often we just don’t realize how mighty our God truly is, and that He goes before us. Many times we lose sight of the fact that the battle is not ours to fight at all, but His. So, when do we lean on Him, and ask Him to help us? Do we say a quick prayer in the moment before we run into a fight, or do we look to Him beforehand, and pray that He will fend off the conflict long before it arises? When do we ask Him for His help?
