Please pray for us today as the apprentices gather for another week of ministry training. Pray for safe arrivals, for Sammy and me as we teach this afternoon and especially that through this whole week we would see from the Scriptures and be deeply convinced of the truth that Tim Keller has put like this:
We never “get beyond the gospel” in our Christian life to something more “advanced.” The gospel is not the first “step” in a “stairway” of truths, rather, it is more like the “hub” in a “wheel” of truth. The gospel is not just the A-B-C’s of Christianity, but it is the A to Z of Christianity. The gospel is not just the minimum required doctrine necessary to enter the kingdom, but the way we make all progress in the kingdom.
Pray that as we sit under Galatians, Acts, 1 Thessalonians and other Scriptures, we would see the gospel of Christ clearer than ever, be deeply moved and begin to grasp how it impacts ministry, mission, leadership, decision-making, relationships and all of life…
What do you think?
