Word of the Day
Thank you Jesus for all your blessings! Praise the Lord!
We give you all the glory! You are worthy to be praised!
Thank you for joining us today! If you are new to this blog, please take the time to post a comment on what you have read today and let us know what you think. We value your opinion. For those joining us who have followed us since the beginning, this blog is designed for Pastor Ed to give us the Word of the Day and share with us his teaching on the Word.
Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Great I hope. Let's talk about the destitution of service. Though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. II Corinthians 12:15 Natural love expects some return, but the unconditional love of Christ which is what we are to portray, does not. Paul says- I do not care whether you love me or not, I am willing to destitute myself completely, not merely for your sake, but that I may get you to God. "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor." Paul's idea of service is exactly along that line, I do not care with what luxury I spend myself, and I will do it gladly. It was a joyful thing to Paul.
The ecclesiastical idea of a servant of God is not Jesus Christ's idea. His idea is that we serve Him by being the servants of other men. Jesus Christ out-socialists the socialists. He says that in His Kingdom he that is greatest shall be the servant of all. The real test of the saint comes not with preaching the gospel, but washing disciples' feet, that is, doing the things that do not count in the actual estimate of God. Paul delighted to spend himself out for God's interests in other people, and he did not care at what cost. We come in with our economical notions, "Suppose God wants me to go there. A man must consider these things." All that is an indication that we are serving god with a reserve. Paul focuses Jesus Christ's idea of a New Testament saint in his life, not one which proclaims the Gospel merely, but one who becomes broken bread and poured out wine in the hands of Jesus Christ for other lives.
We like to close every Word of the Day by making sure you have the opportunity to ask Jesus in your heart.

So please pray, Lord Jesus, I accept that you were born of a virgin, died on the cross and shed your blood for my sins to be forgiven and rose again to be Lord and King. I repent of my sins and ask that you come into my life and be Lord and Savior and live in my heart.
Amen
Friends, if you just prayed this prayer, you are born again, and may I pray that you grow in your walk with Jesus and develop an intimate relationship with Him. If you just said this prayer, please send us an email, we would love to know.
