With each member giving an amount that God’s directs them, we give approximately $100,000 annually. Pray that others will join us in Faith Promise Giving above their Tithe to spread the Gospel around the world.
Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
1 Thessalonians 4:9, “But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.”
The Lord’s speaking is not merely an intermittent or sporadic speaking, but a constant supply of life in our being.
For example, we may experience an inner infusion of love toward our relatives to pray for their salvation.
The love we feel for them is God’s way of speaking to us about them.
God did not come and outwardly tell us to love our relatives and pray for them.
He does not do it that way.
Rather, He wells up within us with compassion and burden.
The compassion and burden are the Lord’s voice, because His voice comes with the infusion and supply of what He wants us to do.
As we learn to read the feelings within our heart, we are learning to hear the Lord’s voice.
Often, His voice comes like a little seed planted within our hearts in the form of a thought or burden.
If we would pay more attention to those burdens and fan them by prayer, we would discover the voice of God in our daily life in an increasing way.
However, if we consider His speaking as merely an objective, outward voice, we may miss the hundreds of times God desires to subjectively and inwardly fulfill something within us.
Paul refers to this inward teaching in 1 Thessalonians 4:9 when he says that we are taught by God to love one another.
The phrase “taught by God” in Greek is a compound word meaning God-taught.
In other words, we are intuitively God-taught to love one another.
This inward God-kind of teaching comes from a present and continuous supply of the Holy Spirit (1 Thess. 4:8).
