but as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
1 THESSALONIANS 2:4
Biblical Resources for the Christian and the Local Church
God commissions the prophet Jeremiah to go to the rebellious and idolatrous Israel and Judah in an effort to call them back to Himself!
There is nothing more important for the life of the local church than the Word of God. The faithful preaching and teaching of the Word coupled with a genuine adherence to its truth is irreplaceable.
One of the greatest joys of the local church ministry is helping others. Whether from within the Body of Christ or on the outside walls of the church, Christ gives us opportunities to share in His joy of loving others.
Do you long for courage and confidence in your Christian witness? In Acts 4:13-20 we read an account where Peter and John displayed great boldness in the face of conflict. How did they do it?
Do you ever wonder if God has heard one too many of your prayers? Don't think for one minute that you have overstayed your welcome at the throne of grace. Keep going!
Philippians 3 is where Paul clarifies the objective of his journey. Every Christian can and should share in these three perspectives. The Christian life is one of growth and progress toward the goal of becoming like Christ. The longer we are saved, the more we should resemble our Savior.
