“When I hear that the Church of Christ has gone throughout the whole world carrying the torch of civilization, healing and giving hope and help, I conclude the Christian Church must be of God because she is acting the way God would act. When I hear that she has founded hospitals and insane asylums, I say surely she must be of God because that is what God would do, being what He is. When I hear that she has emancipated woman and has taken her from being a chattel slave and an object of some old king’s lust to being the equal of man and queen in his home, I say surely that must be of God. You can go down the corridors of history, and you can adduce the proof of the divinity of the Church form what the Church has done.” AW Tozer, How to Be Filled with the Holy Spirit

Reflection:
How much will people know the truth of the Gospel through your life?
Follow UP in the Word through the Week…
Monday:
Read: Galatians 2:14
What does a life that is “in step with the gospel of truth” look like?
Tuesday:
Read: Ephesians 1:13-14
How do you describe the “word of truth, the gospel of your salvation” as Paul puts it in these verses? How do the words “gospel” and “truth” relate?
Wednesday:
Read: Colossians 1:3-8
What is the result of the truth of the gospel going out? How does that change take root in the world around you?
Thursday:
Read: 2 Corinthians 5:1-5
What is Paul describing in these verses? How easy is it for you to talk about death and eternity with others?
Friday:
Read: 2 Timothy 4:6-7
What are the characteristics of Paul’s life as he sees it coming to an earthly end? What areas in your life can you allow the Lord to strengthen to find yourself saying these same things?
Saturday:
Read: 2 Timothy 3:16-17
What does Paul give as the value of the Scriptures? Where do they come from? How are you about to “recall” as Peter says in 2 Peter 2:15 the truth that is available in Scripture? What ways has helped you to know the Bible better and relate it to others?
