I am thoroughly excited for the development we're seeing in our church and the promise this holds for us in 2018. Signs of Life and Love. There is a sense of unity, servanthood, and expectation.
Let's remember Paul's urgent appeal to the Ephesian church to Stand Firm and Take Up the gear necessary for victory:
Truth,
Righteousness,
Readiness,
Faith,
Salvation and
Scripture,
all undergirded by constant
Prayer.
Every moment we move in both the seen and unseen world – the visible Church Ministry and the unseen Fellowship with the Lord of the Church : Both need our full commitment for a beautiful outcome
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. (Eph 6:13)
