Reviving churches,fixing broken doctrines and bad customs,this is ordained.Pointing people to Christ.

Interesting this morning.....Acts chapter 16:verses 1 thru 4. Its important that we are together as much as we can be. In one mind and accord. This short chapter tells us of how The Apostle Paul found Timothy.It tells us Timothy came from good stock. A split family,a Dad who was Greek who may not have been saved(a believer)and a mother who was.Paul wished that Timothy would follow him along. I love the 4th verse. They went thru cities they delivered them decrees for to keep.Decrees ordained by the apostles and the elders which were in JERUSALEM. If you study the travels of Paul,you will see he encountered much oppostion but also many followers,many who Chose to believe.My point is .....use the Holy scripture that are inspired by God.Meet on a regular basis to Pray,read the Bible and stay on the same page with the elders of the church. If you are an evangelist.....Preach the Gospel which includes the full council of God.God is both a merciful God and a judge as well.Understand your calling from God. Understand your gift he has given you.Teach the lost that to be saved is not saying we are sinless. It means we accepted the gift of salvation,paid for by Jesus and his blood,and because of it,we are counted as righteous by the HOLY Father in heaven. Put the word of God ahead of everything in your life individually,then ask God to clearly show you his plan for your life.But... from personal experience i have learned that by grace im saved thru faith.Nothing i can do to save myself. So i cannot boast.Its what Christ has done.My faith is in that. If you are in a particular church,the church needs help.......then the Pastor needs vision.Trust and vision.If he trust in the Lord,then the the Lord will direct him with a vision in his heart for his flock,and how to grow it. VS. 4 ....DECREES,ORDAINED BY THE PASTORS AND DEACONS AND ELDERS,AND Apostles in your church.THESE MEN AND WOMEN SHOULD HAVE A TESTIMONY about their salvation experience. Not just a resume of accomplishments since their conversion.The lost world all around us thinks they are not good enough to be saved. Where did they ever get that idea? Oh my ....we will never be good enough. CHRIST ALONE...IS GOOD ENOUGH. Don't let your love of yourself and sin keep you from your real meaning of existence.God created us to fellowship with him.We chose to run the other way. He has been and still is standing at the door of your heart asking to come in and talk to you,and have constant fellowship with you.vs. 5 of that same chapter shows us the results of Paul and Timothy's hard work. The church increased daily.Becoming a christian,spreading and teaching and preaching the Gospil of Jesus Christ is the most important thing any human can do.Everything else pails in comparison. It involves your soul.If you were the richest man on earth.....what could you give in exchange for your soul?(MARK CHAPTER 8 VERSE 37.)
