Becoming All ThingsEsimerkki

Paul was Jewish, yet to share his new-found faith in Christ he traveled far beyond his "comfort zone."

As you reflect on his widespread ministry to the Gentiles, think about yourself.

• Is there any type of fear, anxiety, or worldliness that is currently hindering your availability and effectiveness in ministry?
• Is there an unconfronted sin that keeps you from being used by God? (see 1 John 1:9)
• Is unaddressed pride, indifference, or prejudice still blocking the Holy Spirit’s activity in your life?

The Bible says, "Do not quench the Spirit…but examine everything; hold firmly to that which is good, abstain from every form of evil.” (1 Thessalonians 5:19-22)

Remember that the Gentiles always have been and still are members of every non-Hebrew race. This means that our witness to all men and women must be totally inclusive and "colorblind!”

Jesus said, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14)
