The more purely God's Word is preached, the more deeply it pierces
and the more kindly it works." (William Gouge)
BE ENCOURAGED:
Wo here's what I want you to do, God helping you. Take your everyday, ordinary life - your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking around life - and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. (Romans 12:1 - MSG Bible)
IT IS SAID:
The church is the place where we come to find out what we're doing right. As such, it's a place of affirmation.
The church is also the place where we come to find out what we're doing wrong. As such it's a place of correction. - (Eugene Peterson)
CONSIDER THIS:
A Message from the high and towering God, who lives in Eternity, whose name is Holy: "I live in the high and holy places, but also with the low-spirited, the spirit-crushed, and what I do is put a new spirit in them, get them up and on their feet again." Isaiah 57:15 (MSG Bible)
A PROFOUND QUOTE
The church is also a place where we come to hear the promises of God. As such, it is a place of motivation. No Christian community can do without any part of this message. We need affirmation, we need correction, and we need motivation. (- Eugene Peterson)
