The churches Primary Mission

"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." 

1 Corinthians 10:31 

This verse tells us that our primary mission as the church is to bring God glory! The Bible tells us in numerous places that it is our job as believers is to bring God the glory he deserves. 

So what does this mean? How do we do this?

I think this means that what we do in our everyday live matters! God cares for us and watches over us. This means doing the right thing in front of people and behind closed doors. 

We show people the love of Christ especially when it's hard and that's what brings God the glory because without him we wouldn't have the patience we need to handle tough situations. 

This does not mean it is easy but that's why we have Christ! Pray for the patience and for your actions to glorify God!

The bible also tells us that we glorify God  

by making disciples through the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

(2 Corinthians 5:18-20)

I think the church today has forgotten to keep there eyes on Christ and instead we focus on earthly rewards and desires. Just the other day I had an opportunity to  do something pretty cool and exciting and instead of praying and considering it I tried to jump into it head first, but then the day of I realized that what I was doing was not something that would glorify God. 

Now this opportunity was not bad however it did nothing for my spiritual growth or my mission on earth as a Christian and follower of Christ! 

So before you dive into something head first pray about and ask yourself is this bringing God glory. 

This is just something I've been thinking a lot about and hope that it will help someone else! 

Thank's for reading and God bless!

Positivity

Being positive is hard but I believe it is also the key to a happy life. I know for a fact that the more you are around negative people the more negative you become.

Life isn't suppose to be miserable or negative, life is suppose to be positive and beautiful! God created us for a purpose and while we may not know what it is at the beginning of our lives as long as we follow God he will work his will out in our lives.

So think positive and try to remove those negative people or things from your life. God is good! 

“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”

Proverbs 17:22

Thoughts

Hey guys! 

So as the new year has rolled in I have been thinking a lot lately about what the future holds or more importantly who holds my future! 

The Bible tells us this,

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

God tells us while we may not know what our future holds or what God has in store for us, He knows the plans that He has made for us! God loves us so much that he not only watches over us but he has a plan for us and while we may get worried at times that he has forgotten us we can come back to this scripture and know that it is quite the opposite of being forgotten! 

So don't lose hope in whatever you feel left out on! God does have a plan for your life and that is pretty exciting! The God of the universe has a plan for me! 

I heard the new casting crowns song on the radio today and I want to share some of the words with you...

"So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away

You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held

Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place

I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held

Just be held, just be held"

God is there and He has a plan for your life in fact he has already been to the end of your life! So follow him and be held by him! God loves you! 

Love y'all! 

Christina!
