We have already inherited eternity because of the unbreakable guarantee of our Triune God.
We need to apply truth and love to build the church and protect the church.
If we want to be blessed, we need to understand – Members. Then exercise your God-given responsibilities with wisdom and care.
If we want to be blessed, we need to understand – Leaders. Then expect your leaders to be faithful but flawed under shepherds and honour them as a gift to you.
If we want to be blessed, we need to understand – Ourselves. Then know you are a sinner called as a saint to serve Jesus and His church.
If we want to be blessed, we need to understand – The church. Then encourage your church to have biblical priorities and commit for better and for worse.
It’s going to be OK. He is with us. He wins. So press on.
It is only as we are overwhelmed by God’s incredible forgiveness of us that we can ever forgive others.
Be astonished that God would come to save a rebel like you.
