No occasion justifies HATRED; no injustice warrants BITTERNESS. I chose LOVE. Today I will LOVE GOD and what GOD LOVES.

A Life of Service

October 2, 2008

WE are many, but in CHRIST we are all in one BODY.

Each ONE of us is a part of that BODY.

Romans 12:5

GOD has enlisted us in his navy and placed us on his hip. The boat has one purpose to cary us safely to the other shore.

This is no cruise ship; it’s a battleship. We aren’t called to a life a leisure; we are called to a life a service. Each of us has a different tasks. Some, concerned with those who are drowning, are snatching people from the water. Others are occupied with the enemy, so they man the cannons of prayer and worship. Still others devote themselves to the crew. feeding and training the crew members.

Though different, we are the same. Each can tell of a personal encounter with the captain, for each has received a personal call….

We each followed him across the gangplank of his grace onto the same boat. there is no captain and one destination. Though the battle is fierce, the boat is safe, for our captain is GOD. The ship will not sink. For that, there is no concern.
