Are You Powerful?

Terry Brown — Tue, 03 Oct 2006 00:07:04 +0000

Jesus has given His children the capability and the power to influence others by their actions and words. A wise man has great power, and a man of knowledge increases strength. -Proverbs 24:5. But we must be careful how we use this gift. There’s a fine line between using our power in correcting others in love verses being judgmental to one’s life choices. The difference between the two depends on the outcome of the situation. Do the powerful words encourage the one in need of help? Or do they encourage the importance of the person in control?

Remember, Jesus wants us to remain strong in His mighty power, not ours. Without God, our power may appear strong, but in reality it’s weak and leads to selfishness and manipulation of others. But with Jesus by our side, our influence will lead to everlasting changes in the lives of others. What an honor it is to share in His strength and make a difference. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. -Ephesians 6:10.

The Perfect Body

Our girlfriends are struggling with self-image and even “dying” to have the perfect body. In every magazine across the nation, young minds are being programmed to be perfect. Perfect in our society means young, beautiful and thin – and the thinner, the better. Bulimia and anorexia are causing hearts to fail. Our image should have nothing to do with the self and should have everything to do with image of Christ.

As Christians, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important. We need to care for our bodies so they can continue God’s work. But what’s inside the heart is more important because it portrays the image of Jesus. His image never fails. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own, you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. -1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Check out TodaysGirls Only

Play Dominos!

As a young child I thought playing dominos meant standing the little black rectangles on end, then tapping the last one, and watching them fall one by one against each other. Quite boring, I thought, especially having to stand them all up again. But as I grew I learned the real game of dominos. Matching up the numbers of my pile connects to the numbers of the other players’ dominos. Without one piece, you can’t move on to the next.

Do you know that leading one life to believe in Christ might lead to saving millions of lost souls? It’s a domino effect. Once you tell one person, they’ll tell another and so on and so on. Before you know it, you will have impacted so many lives. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…- Matthew 28:19. So no matter how you play dominos, keep playing!
