.........Taking Your Place.........
|
|
There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men . . The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body . . . Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. (1 Corinthians 12:4, 12, 27). Are you taking your place along with your brothers and sisters in Christ to bring the good news of forgiveness and overflowing eternal life to the world? People are in need of the living water to quench the fire of destruction that rules their lives. Only their trust in Jesus will provide this living water.
We all have a place to take in seeing that the world hears about Jesus. We all are important to God’s Kingdom taking root in the hearts of individuals. “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?” This year our focus is on taking our place in living for Christ. We will learn, we will care; we will go and we will share Jesus Christ through our lives. It is not we who live but Christ who lives in us!

"Accept life with humility and patience, generously making allowances for each other
because you love each other. Make it your aim to be at one in the Spirit,
and you will be bound together in peace. There is one Body and one Spirit,
just as it was to one hope that you were called. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all, who is the one over all,
the one working through all and the one living in all."
Ephesians 4:2-6 (Phillips)

Processes, programs and preparations are meaningless to the work of God unless He is the Initiator of the work. We follow His leading as He lives out His life through those who belong to Him. We seek to follow Him in His work through Arlington Baptist Church as we worship Him, grow to become more like Him, prepare and go to reach others, and serve each other and everyone else. Prayer, Bible study, and the indwelling Holy Spirit is our connection with God. Please pray, please study God’s Word, please follow His leading. |
