Stewards of The Gospel

"This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world

as a witness to all the nations, . . ."


Matthew 24:14


Today's Bible Reading: Mark 16:12-18.


All Christians are stewards of the Gospel. The power to proclaim the greatest news in Heaven or on Earth was not given to the angels. It was given to redeemed men. This was addressed to humble laymen. Some think that only ministers or Evangelists are to preach, but that is wrong. Every Christian is to be a witness; every follower of Christ is to preach the Gospel.


We can preach by sharing our experience with others. We can preach by exalting Christ in our daily lives. Sermons which are seen are often more effective than those which are heard. The truth is: the best sermons are both heard and seen. They are a sort of audiovisual testimony. We can also preach by giving to others, so they may preach. Missionary gifts, church offerings, and charitable contributions all speak eloquently of your unselfishness and Christian generosity. 


In all these things, we are partners with God. We are helping by His grace to redeem the world. God needs our time, our talents, our witnessing, and our money, today more than at any other time in history. Become a full, working partner with God.


Prayer: Wherever I go today, Father God, make me conscious of the people I meet. They need Your love. So whether I can speak of You to them, say a kind word or minister in any way, I would be like You—ever loving, ever giving. In Jesus name. Amen.

Is God Calling You ?

"Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him,

Where are you ?"


Genesis 3:9


Today's Bible Reading: Genesis 3:7-9.


When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, when they rebelled, when they sinned against God and set of down the road of independence they lost 3 things that I want to share with you.


FIRST: Innocence. v 7 The Bible says: “Then their eyes were opened.” Seemingly, it was only after they had sinned that they knew of their sinful state. They knew they were naked, in the sense of having their shame exposed to all creation.


SECOND: Ignorance. V 7 The Bible says: “And they knew that they were naked.”   Prior to eating the forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve were ignorant of evil and its consequences. They lived in a state of blissful ignorance, but after eating the fruit, they gained knowledge of good and evil, losing their innocence in the process.


THIRD: Intimacy - Intimacy with God V 8: “They hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God.” - Before their disobedience, Adam and Eve enjoyed a close and intimate relationship with God. They walked with Him in the garden and had direct communion with Him. However, after their sin, they felt shame and tried to hide from God's presence. That intimate relationship they once had with God was gone, along with their Innocence and Ignorance.


But God, did not leave them in that state, He came seeking them v 9: Where are you? One of the great ironies of human nature is that it often has a way of rejecting the best and accepting the worst. We must acknowledge that there is a great defect that runs through the human race, a built-in waywardness that comes from man’s rebellion against God. It is called sin. Sin is the great “clogger,” but the blood of Christ is the great cleanser. In 1 John 1:7 The Bible says: “The blood of Jesus Christ [God’s] Son cleanses us from all sin.”


There is no need to be crippled any longer by sin— God has provided the cure; His Son Jesus Christ and His work on the cross for our sins. If God is calling you, if God is seeking you, come to Him today.


Prayer: Merciful God, thank You, that You forgive all who come to You, through Jesus Christ, Your believed Son. Amen.

A Living Presence

"light to bring revelation to the Gentiles,

and the glory of Your people Israel."


Luke 2:32


Today's Bible Reading: Luke 2:25-35.


If we could look through mighty telescopes or listen to electronic soundings, we could hear and see the metallic stars which both Russia and America have put into space in the past years. None of these synthetic stars have brought peace to the world. But God’s star promised peace to the whole world, if man would believe and trust.


Too often man’s synthetic stars bring fear and anxiety. Our gadget-filled paradise, suspended in a hell of international insecurity, certainly does not offer us the happiness of which the last century dreamed.


But there is still a star in the sky. There is still a song in the air. And Jesus Christ is alive. He is with us, a living presence, to conquer despair, to impart hope, to forgive sins, and to take away our loneliness and reconcile us to God.


Prayer: Your peace Father God, reaches all who love and trust You. In Christ's name I praise and bless You. Amen.
