Words of Encouragement

 

April - 15 - 2007

 

This world is not our destination; it is our journey! There are many things here that can distract us from our goal and destroy our desire to complete our journey. These sinful desires actually are at war with us. But through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can say "NO!" and live with confidence and character before our world that is trapped in darkness and so desperately needs God's light.

The Scripture reading today is from 1 Peter 2:11-12.

11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul,
12 having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Let us pray.

Forgive us, Holy God, for our failures with sin. Empower us, Almighty God, so that we may grow ever closer to your character and holiness. Help us, loving God, to live a holy life that is attractive to our friends, family, and neighbors, so they may come to glorify you by living your life, too.

In Jesus' name we pray.

Amen.
