Opportunity….
Over the last few weeks, I have had the opportunity to be with some fantastic people that love the Lord and work diligently for Him.
Every time I am with them I come away uplifted and feel encouraged. Most of these are young men, much younger than me that have a passion for the Lord and His church. With so many people focusing on the struggles of the church and ministry (there are some), maybe we should focus more on the positives of the Lord’s work!
The daily conversions…
The Bible studies taking place…
The thousands of young people at places like CYC and the upcoming Lads to Leaders convention…
The retreats for young and old…
The Ladies and Mens days with hundreds appearing…
The bringing relief to the world around us…
The Lords church is doing good….but there is more that needs to be done!
Look for the opportunity…
To SERVE…
To TEACH…
To SHARE…
To BE THE LIGHT…
We all have a responsibility to God. We have a direct command to obedience if we love Jesus.
We have…must…need to seize EVERY opportunity that is placed before us to do good.
At the end of a recent conference, I witnessed a zeal among some fellow ministers, a rekindling of a fire. I know that fire will not be extinguished.
