Today’s Thought “Pastoral Uncertainty” G. Ward

“Our people must also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful.” Titus 3:14

Inconsistency, lacking commitment, aloof; all of these describe too great a percentage of those who frequent our local assembly weekly/weakly. Then there are those we know, having girded themselves with the catechism of the church, we know their name, the car they drive, but lacking commitment and inconsistent. Christianity is representative of new leadership demanded from any opposing traditional carnality exercised by the majority of mankind (cf. Eph.6:12). Moreover, the new position one receives mercifully, equates their stance with that of a bond-servant (i.e. available to God’s service, anywhere, anytime). Howbeit that any reference to Holy God as Supreme Controller in the life of a proposed believer pervades little to no participation in their local assembly’s ministry opportunities, but is more regarded for their political stance, civic awareness and marketplace posturing (Mt.6:21)?

Happy Thursday!
