Today's Work

"I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus."  Phil 3:14

How we spend our time is a good indicator of what we value.  We usually find a way to put the thing that matters most into our day.  So what are you doing this week? 

Kingdom work can be creative, catching others' attention like inspirational preaching or an uplifting performance.  Kingdom work can be humble and go unnoticed like offering a meal or bed.  Sometimes Kingdom work requires courage and sacrifice to act on behalf of the powerless.  Sometimes Kingdom work requires persuasion and perseverance to show up and speak against destructive systems. 

Kingdom work is faith in action.  Loving God and loving your neighbor translate into doing good in a crooked generation.  Take care of yourself.  Show kindness and care for others in your family, church, community, and country.  Who knows where your circle of influence will lead?

As you do good work, share the message Jesus came to spread.  People need to hear the reason for your hope. Despite today's chaos, crime, and corruption experienced worldwide, the God of all comfort is a world creator, a world changer. and Savior.

"But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.  He will transform the body of our humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that also enables him to make all things subject to himself."  Phil. 3:20-21
