Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:2-3NIV).

 In these last day that we are living, to be effective, we must be disciplined about our calling and be humble enough to allow God to change those to whom we minister. From our passage we can glean that as Christians we have to make great efforts to reveal the power of God to those around us. To display a life of discipline to our contemporaries, our action must align with our speech. Also we must demonstrate the love of God in humility.  Arrogance was never something Jesus displayed to us. In John 13, he demonstrated to us the type of humility we should display by washing his disciples feet. Are you willing to go so low today?  Jesus is calling his people back to be servants rather than the ones who know it all and have all the answers. He is asking us to be vulnerable so that we can win those in our circles to Christ.

So today remember that all virtues from God flow out of love.
