A Convo With Fellow Christians

God's ways are extremely interactive. I love it and I hope you do too. We have discussed opportunities to share the Gospel with non-Christians in, A Convo With Non-Christians, but what about engaging other Christians?

Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace.


Be Of One Mind

The Lord wants us to be one. We have a lot to talk about. Unlike non-Christians we have the entire breadth of the scriptures to connect with. We have so much in common and to figure out what those things are requires some "we time."

You'll never see people on the same page unless they stragegize together. Look how many times the scriptures tell us to be of one mind. How can we do this if we barely know each other?
That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. - Romans 15:6 NKJV
Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, - Philippians 1:27 NKJV
Fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. - Philippians 2:2 NKJV
Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; - 1 Peter 3:8 NKJV
Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. - Romans 12:16 NKJV

Strong Connections

The best way to be of one mind with fellow Christians is to spend some time together. Invest time in each other.

Go in with a heart of forgiveness. Be patient. Have a true interest in your fellow Christians. Use your superpowers of patience, peace and love. If we are talking about the Lord we are building each other up.

Share your testimony. Ask questions about their testimony. Ask what they like and what's important to them. Be a great listener. The Lord has invested quite a bit for them so let's stir up interest about their lives.

Think about how facinating the Christians lives in the bible were. Well we have the same Lord and scriptures they had. We are facinating too!

It can be a quick lunch or a nice long dinner. Bring food and beverage and a curiosity about how the Lord is working in your lives.

So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples." - John 13:34-35 NLT

Take Action!

What opportunities are out there to connect with other Christians? 
There are many! The highest concentration of Christians is at Church. Meet people. Shake hands. Bring gifts. 
Let's seek each other out and speak freely about the things of the Lord. 

Please, add your thoughts in the comment section.

Happiness vs. Joy

Image
There may be a few ways to look at happiness vs. joy and maybe this will add value to their distinctions. Happiness is generally determined by what is happening to us or even an accumulation of good or bad events or circumstances. Joy is completely different. It is determined by what we choose. When you ask someone if they are happy, the happy person says something like, "I feel good, things are going well, there haven't been any emergencies, my relationships are going well." The unhappy person says, "I haven't felt good, things are not going great, I've had a few emergencies and relationships have been tough." These are all external influences. Joy, for the Christian, is internal. It is a fruit of the Spirit and the Holy Spirit, in a Christian, is always producing this fruit. It's our job to get in on it. The barrier for doing this, comes from thinking we are the source of joy and we have to go outside of ourselves to get it. The Old Man ...

Armor of God | Watchful Perseverance

Image
The armor of God has been a topic that has been difficult to get our minds wrapped around. What it is and how we put it on, has seemed to be a bit mysterious. So maybe by looking at the effect of the armor we can get a better understanding of how to put the armor on. We previously looked at  The Word of God , so let's take the next piece. We're leaving in,  The Effect of Armor,  section here for continuity. The Effect of Armor The most prominent place the armor of God is listed is in  Ephesians 6:14-18 NKJV .  Each piece of armor has an effect. Since it is spiritual armor, and we are physically oriented, it can be difficult to understand what is happening when we have it on. One of the things we know about armor is that once we are in the battle, we shouldn't have to think about the armor. It will passively protect us and we shouldn't have to give it another thought. We inspect, test and repair the armor on a regular basis and ensure it is fit...
