Guarding The Church's Reputation Series
Contributed by Thomas Cash on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: 4th in a series from 1 Timothy. Because God wants purity in the lives of Christians to draw others to the truth of His love, we must take spiritual infections seriously!
- We concentrate on what we can’t do instead of what we can do
- We need to encourage each other in service just as Paul did with Timothy
C. There are two responses to this spiritual lethargy: Good Christian conduct and faithfulness to our ministry
- Keep serving faithfully; if you need a place to serve, the opportunities here at Liberty are endless
- We can grow and be a healthy Church when we watch our lives and keep the infections out by closely guarding our faith and our lifestyles
Conclusion: God wants us to be pure so that others will be drawn to the truth of His love and grace embodied in our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. So take infection seriously. Get your nourishment, do the exercise that God prescribes, and rest in the Lord. It just might save your life- eternally! Are you dirty? Do you need cleansed? Come to be Jesus and be washed whiter than snow.
Invitation: Whiter Than Snow
