Romans 15:14-21; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
I found myself kind of sitting on the edge of my chair as I read Romans 15:14-21. Paul's words conveyed total, almost over the top, enthusiasm for the Lord and his job of sharing the message of Christ. I loved it. Paul's words really connected with me. Listen to this: "In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God. For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me..." (verses 17-18).
Now I want to join that bandwagon. How about you? So how do we get and maintain enthusiasm like Paul when it comes to serving the Lord and spreading the gospel message? Tami W.
P.S. Happy Valentine's Day! If you haven't done so already, be sure to tell someone you love them today!
("So how do we get and maintain enthusiasm like Paul when it comes to serving the Lord and spreading the gospel message?" --Tami)
When we see the walking dead for who they are.
When we quit measuring people by the Tabloids and use the Bible.
When Gods lost children become more important to us then our; hair, nails, truck, motorcycle, success, comfort, and yes even our children
Paul's enthusiasm to serve the Lord ultimately sprang from the love affair he had with Christ. Christ's grace was very real to Him, and His Spirit both empowered and motivated Paul to service.
