The Most Significant Thing

The most significant thing God is teaching me is how to bring joy to the city of Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill. In the bible, the evangelist, Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. What this means, I think, is that God is looking for willing people like Phillip and me to share the gospel of Christ to their city. Thank God for Philip; he was obedient to share the good news and the result of him sharing, was that the city was filled with joy. I believe as a Christian our major goal is to share the goodness of God. Right now, God is teaching me to preach His grace to His people so that they can understand the joy, peace and the forgiveness of their sins--as long as they surrender. Finally, God is teaching me that His Word is the power unto salvation, evangelist Philip preached Jesus to the city, and the multitudes with one accord heeded to the Word of God that was spoken by Philip. Then God’s joy came to the city when the gospel was heard and then the people were full with joy. That is what God is doing in my life right now--teaching me to bring the Word, the gospel to the city so there is joy. Also, He has let me know that the city will not just stop here in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area--but the boundaries of the city will be enlarged. God is also teaching me to withdraw from my comfort zone and to walk, teach and preach in the His zone.
