“Press On”
Categories: Minister's CornerThe Apostle Paul says, “... I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has laid hold of me” and “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:12 & 14. Paul had Jesus Christ in view for his life, and heaven as his ultimate destination. Living for Jesus was a priority for the present and future for Paul. He lived each day with an attitude of “pressing on” regardless of how difficult or challenging life might become for him. Engaging in faith-building activities with his brothers and sisters in Christ helped him “press on” and ultimately gain the prize by God’s grace.
Here are a few things to help us as we journey toward heaven with our wonderful Lord this month!
1. Read the daily devotionals in HIS WORD DEVOTIONAL BOOK and read the corresponding chapters in the NEW TESTAMENT. “Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.” Psalm 119:11
2. Today many have been be looking for a place to visit. This is an opportunity for us to invite our friends and family who are not Christians to come and hear the truth about our Lord, His
wonderful Church, and salvation through His resurrection. This is a beautiful truth we embrace as we worship every Lord’s day!
3. Let’s engage in various acts of kindness to make a difference in the lives of our friends and family. Let’s love our enemies and do good to as many as possible and follow the example of our Lord and Savior, JESUS THE CHRIST!
We must “press on” in order to experience life with Christ now and forever. Let’s be a going church for a coming Lord.
