In following Jesus, it's not just that do good, but do it in secret. In this, we achieve the level of righteousness he requires and our reward from God.

Is God the theme of your life? Does he receive credit for any good that you do or that people see in you? Your life and words may be the only glimpse of God some may ever see.

Being available to connect others is a great way God allows us to be part of the process in another's life and spiritual journey. We can find great joy, even when it means we step back so they can step forward.  

What makes us reflect the perfection of God? Loving those who are not like us. And not just loving them but praying for them as well. This is how ordinary Christians live extraordinary lives to the glory of Christ.

The way we view God affects the way we live out our Christian life. It's important that the way we do that reflects on the true nature of the God we serve.

Investing in others not only prepares them for ministry but allows us to leave the work in their hands when it's time for us to move on. Are you working yourself out of a job or holding on?

Doing good to those who do good to us is expected. Doing good to those who do us evil sends a message that brings glory to Christ.

When pain hits, God understands. Why? How? Because he loved us enough to suffer with and for us.

Doors don't close in ministry without another door opening. It might not look the same, but it will be just as full of blessings as we walk through it in obedient expectation. What's an unexpected place God's taken you where you've found him at work?

How are you doing these days with keeping your word? There's only one who has never broken his word, so we need to stick to simple yes and no answers. Anything else will not help our witness.
