In this session we finished up the fourth tenant of Chip Ingram's Romans 12 study; "Serving in Love." The discussion began turning from study and discussion, to application and action.
As a group, we have been working towards the point that we can take all of the good things we have learned over the past few months and actually start applying them to our lives and the group as a whole. Meeting real needs, for the right reason, in the right way is becoming a foundational aspect of our existence.
In addition to Romans 12:9-13, I would like to add James 2:14-18 which basically states that we need to touch people's lives with what we do, because what we say simply isn't enough. People have heard all kinds of talk about Jesus, Christianity, and religion; but people are not seeing Jesus or Christianity. Religious talk can be bought by the pound for pennies (especially when sprinkled with politics and personality). Paul and James challenge us to quit talking, roll up our sleeves, and get to work.
How can you apply meaningful purpose to your God-given power? God will show you if you will let Him.
