If My People. . .

“I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His Kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.”  II Timothy 4:1-4

Today pray for the leaders in the life of our church.  Lift up our staff as they meet today.  Ask the Lord to give us guidance as we seek to serve this church.  Pray that God will keep us close and keep us clean.

Pray for our lay leaders in every area of our ministry.  Pray that God will remind us of our responsibilities in the body of Christ.  It is so easy for us to think that someone else will do what needs to be done.  As a part of the body, there is no one that can take your place.

When our leaders are in tune with His work and direction, we are a better reflection to the world and therefore have a better opportunity to make a difference in our culture.  It starts with our leaders in the church. Everyone plays a part.
