Right Relationships

We need relationships that are based on more than common interests; we need people who will encourage and build us up in our faith.

These kinds of friends give wise counsel based upon God’s Word. Their advice isn’t always comfortable, but it’s always beneficial. They’re not afraid to speak the truth, even if it’s painful to hear. When we’ve gotten off track, they lovingly confront us and point us in the right direction. If we encounter times of difficulty or suffering, they are by our side, encouraging us to trust the Lord as we walk through fiery trials.

As iron sharpens iron,

    so a friend sharpens a friend

Proverbs 27:17 (NLT)

The Church: God’s Design

The Bible clearly defines the following as ministries of the church: worshiping the living God, instructing and edifying believers, making disciples of all nations, and serving the needy.

Excerpt from InTouch Ministries Daily Devotional

——

23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. 24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:23-25 (NLT)

God is faithful and unchanging

When hardships arise, we need a solid foundation on which to stand. Otherwise, our emotions could easily lead us astray through faulty thinking. God is faithful and unchanging, so we can trust in His promises, which enable us to rest confidently and act boldly.

Good Things Ahead for You!

When you WALK the Lord with guide you.
When you RUN He will sustain you.
And when you FLY, yes when you FLY
He will take you places you’ve never dreamed.
The Lord has good things ahead for you!
