We are a forgetful people in a land of distractions. Our minds are easily captivated by trivial and temporary inducements. New things quickly become old. In our mind’s eye even glory tends to fade and warnings tend to wane. It is no wonder that we who are invisibly united to Christ and visibly in and not of this world live in constant need of renewal. And what is true for the Christian is true for the church. This is a series that seeks to renew the mind of the church. Not so much by reviewing what she is called to do as much as what she is called. As with the Christian so with church, her God-given identity defines her. We who are the church are a people for God and none other.
Before we return to the book of Romans, we will be looking at the what scripture says about the Church, in its nature, how she expresses herself in song, and how the church cares and equips for its members.

Living for the Lord
A right love to God devotes all to Him. Those who love God rightly devote all their heart, all their soul, all their mind, and all their strength to Him. They live not for themselves. They are not their own. They live for the Lord. But living for the Lord requires a serious discipline of mind since we live in a world that encourages us to devote everything to ourselves. Does the Lord serve our life or does our life serve the Lord? This devotional message seeks to encourage and stimulate the heart for living all of life for the Lord.
