A Worshiper’s Heart

February 28, 2015 | By |

THE CONDITION OF THE WORSHIPER’S HEART IS ALWAYS GOD’S PRIMARY INTEREST AND THE ONLY TRUE REQUIREMENT FOR WORSHIP. God isn’t concerned with our outward appearance but rather our heart. We hear many times that David was “a man after God’s own heart”. There was something that God saw in David that He didn’t see in others. It was David’s love for the Lord. God saw spiritual character in David and He is looking for the same spiritual character in other Christians. If we want a true heart of worship, we must first have an intimate relationship with God, second surrender our will to God’s will and third, have a broken and contrite spirit. We must also learn to take care of our hearts. Proverbs 4:23 tells us that “above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life”. This means that we must defend it continually from possible external attacks of the enemy (watch what you’re reading, watch what you’re listening to, watch who you’re around and watch what you believe). True worship requires a lifestyle change that is reflective of Jesus Christ. The heart of the worship is the worship of the heart.

Pouring Into Others

February 28, 2015 | By |

God doesn’t pour into us and expect us to keep it to ourselves. In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commissioned his disciples to go out and make other disciples by teaching them. While Jesus lived on earth, he poured into His disciples. He taught them the valuable lessons that would assist them in their new walk with Him. His purpose for pouring into them was so that they could go out and be the “salt of the earth and the light of the world”. He wanted them to take what they learned and pour into others. Just like the disciples, we were chosen and created for a purpose. God’s purpose for us is to unite all things in Him; things in heaven and things on earth (Ephesians 1:10). So here are the questions for every Christian: 1. Why are you here? 2. Are you influencing others by your daily walk with Jesus? God is looking for Christians to help preserve His name, build it up and win others to Him. What are you doing to help prevent sin?

Intimate Relationships

February 28, 2015 | By |

Relationships are about meeting people where they are. Relationships require us to be compassionate and demonstrate the love of Jesus. When we explore the life of Jesus, we find that He met people right where they were. Jesus’ ministry began with individual relationships. Jesus saw His disciples through a different set of eyes and was always looking for opportunities to develop relationships with them. He saw who they could become rather than who they were. If we expect to develop relationships, we must follow the examples of Jesus. Making disciples is not possible without establishing intimate relationships with people. Building successful relationships will require us to forfeit our selfish desires and commit ourselves to thinking about the needs of others.
