Mark 9:2-13, Matthew 17:1-13, Luke 9:28-36, Mark 9:14-32, Matthew 17:14-23, Luke 9:37-45, Mark 9:33-37, Matthew 18:1-5, Luke 9:46-48
Jesus took a few of His close disciples up the hill and went supernova on 'em (Matt. 17:1-8) Peter impulsively says, "This is awesome! We can stay here forever!" Sadly, that's the perspective of a lot of "churches" today - "Let's just stay inside our supernice buildings and sing our praise songs and God will be here and everyone will want to come here and it will be so good and anytime we want to experience God we can just come to this building and ..." What a bunch of garbage! God wants to express himself through us into the remainder of humanity! Christ will be Lord of all!
This morning I got to fellowship with a Brother that I went to college with. Then for lunch we got to visit with a dear couple that just got back from full-time collegiate missions in Russia. It means so much to me to be able to share Christ with dear Brothers and Sisters; the Love of Christ is so clearly shown in the sweetness of that blessed fellowship.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for the encouraging opportunities to fellowship with Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Lord, I pray that you will continue to gain me and use me as an instrument of change to bring more Brothers and Sisters into the Lordship of Christ. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
