It is easy, even with good intentions, to get side tracked in our Christian service. Some feel the gift of fellowship, the other the gift of teaching, and still another the gift of giving. If the truth be known, our single responsibility is to proclaim Christ crucified and resurrected as our means of salvation. Nobody aside from the Holy Spirit can bring new life to an unbeliever. All can proclaim the gospel so that people know and provide the seed for the Holy Spirit to lift up Jesus.
Whatever other good things we may do are fine, so long as they don't detract from our single imperative which is to raise up Christ and His Gospel.
Daily Prayer: Jesus, we often times let you down, because even good things that we do are from our flesh. Forgive us. Raise up our consciousness to proclaim the gospel to those whom we meet and not to draw back as though we were ashamed. Instead, plant the spirit of boldness in each one of us. In Your Holy Name we pray Amen.
