But we have to be careful not to move Jesus into the background of our lives. It's our decision and if we allow other things to steal our focus, we may put the Lord on the backburner and He will simply fade away from us.

Today Pastor John begins speaking about the miracles God wants to do now in this day and age - through us, not just the pastor, the teacher, or the clergy. Therefore, Pastor John starts by clarifying our role, our responsibility, our commission in these things. Since everyone who has given their heart to God is commissioned, rather than debate this point, we should be asking ourselves what the Lord would have us do when we encounter those in need. After all, we have been commissioned by the Lord.
