Overcoming Obstacles To Serving God

Contributed by Mark Mitchell on Sep 9, 2023

We all have fears that inhibit us from serving God. Fears of the world, fears of ourselves, fears of the enemy. For God gave us a spirit, not of fear, but of power and of self control. 2 Timothy 2:17 When we set aside our fears we make room for the power of God to work through us.

Now’s The Time To Serve

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 18, 2022

Too many believers are waiting for the perfect scenario before they will serve the Lord. It’s an excuse that is often used for idleness and spiritual inactivity - the excuse that it’s not an ideal time or situation in which to serve.

There is no ideal place to serve God except the place where He has set you down. - Eric Alexander(1) The Lord wants us to bloom where we’re planted, and to serve Him faithfully right where we are.

People go to “spiritual” teachers who have declared they have a special “anointing” and, therefore, ...read more
