No one ever spoke like Jesus.

In two words, this is the gospel: Grace and peace. And these two words are a good reminder for my soul today.

The church has helped firefighters provide free smoke detectors to the community, built ramps to make buildings more accessible, provided meals to seniors, and spent “Serve Sundays” picking up trash around town.

He expands his kingdom broadly, but not deeply. After all, deeply-developed kingdoms require serious discipleship – and genuine disciples would recognize the problem with a king’s leadership style.

It’s good to be with others who are trying to walk the same path. The spiritual battle is real for all of us, but none of us has to walk this road alone. Even though the church is hardly perfect, they’re still colleagues in this journey—and just seeing them in-person can be uplifting.

We need a renewed attention on intimacy with Jesus over efficiency with our smartphones.

Instead of trying to incorporate evangelism, make it a normal part of who you are.
