  • Power with Purpose!

  • Romans 8:9 "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his."

    Is your "Christian Experience" less than what you expected? Have circumstances and situations caused you to take a long, hard look at your faith? Many of today's Christians are discovering that the consumer-minded, entertainment driven, megachurch mentality is awesome when it comes to celebrating Jesus, but fails miserably in the discipleship of the individual believer. Power with Purpose was founded by followers of Jesus Christ with the idea that; no matter how big our organizations get, our faith must be founded on sound biblical doctrine, a holy lifestyle, and authentic community relationships. Please join us and our partners in prayer and action as we journey together to discover and implement the purpose behind the power given to us by Christ!

Puzzles

By robert on Mar 5, 2009 | In Ministry, Discipleship | Send feedback »

I was thinking about Romans 12:3-5 this morning and how we all need to think soberly about ourselves; not too high, or too low. Because we are all members of the same body of Christ. We all have different places and we are members of, and for each other.

The body of Christ is like a puzzle and each of us is a piece of that puzzle. Some of us are in the puzzle but we don't quite seem to fit, so we wonder if we are in the right spot.

Some of us are in the wrong spot - but we are so sure that we are in the right place that we will stubbornly hold firm; thinking only of ourselves and our place while the rest of the puzzle remains incomplete because of us. Puzzles with missing and/or out-of-place pieces are a sore sight!

No matter where we are in the process of the puzzle there is a Hand that can take each piece and place it exactly where it needs to go for a perfect fit for itself, and the whole puzzle! As pieces, our place is "printed" on us by the Puzzle Maker: He knows where we belong better than we do!

This is where faith and trust come in. Do you believe God is in control and knows where to place you? Can the clay ask the potter, "Why hast thou made me thus?" How about a puzzle piece asking the same thing about where to be in the puzzle? Remember, the One piecing the puzzle together is the only one that can see the big picture.

What do you think?
