Encouraging Sunday

Yesterday was "Pro-Life Sunday" and our church was blessed to have an incredible woman come and share her testimony. Her story was truly amazing and left me reminded of a few important things.
1) God's grace is the most amazing free gift we could ever receive.
2) God uses ordinary, "average Joe" people to bring glory to His kingdom everyday, and He is not concerned with the number of people but just how faithful and ready they are to serve.
3) God's big picture view makes so much more sense than our narrow bird's eye view from down here.
4) Sometimes God will ask us to step out of our comfort zone to serve Him, but if we are willing, miracles can happen.
5) Once a person turns their life over to Christ, and the Holy Spirit comes to dwell inside them, then they truly can experience "joy and thankfulness in all circumstances."(1 Thess 5:16-18) This happens when they "lay aside their own plans and cooperate with God's revealed purpose, making it their own purpose."(BSF notes)
6) "God is looking for the support of His moral minority."(Dr. A Bosson, ex: Judges 7, story of Gideon's army defeating the Midionites) This is a time in our world, when Bible believing Christians must focus on God's inerrant Word and pull together with prayer and faith and commitment to fight for the Lord.

Hope you all have a great week!!
