Glory Seed Guidelines

Notice – The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.

These daily devotionals are brought to you by Gary Piper, a writer with our Sister Site, Natural Spirit Ministries. TheologyWeb encourages you to visit and support their site.... they have many informative articles which can be discussed right here. If you enjoy Gary Piper's devotionals, please send him an encouraging note or post. We are very appreciative of our partnership with Natural Spirit Ministries and look forward to many more co-ventures.

    Glory Seed Devotional’s, 2018 Anticipating the Spiritual Jesus the Prelude to Life
    You are an unrepeated miracle created with a purpose…
    Shalom!


    One of my favorite bible verses is aimed at keeping our lives in true perspective. “For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith to each one.” (Romans 12:3, CSB) For me, a partial introvert it doesn’t go quite far enough, “Everyone among you not to think of himself LOWER then he should think.” For many years I felt I was “lower class” because I was a “blue collar factory worker”, but when I began allowing Jesus a bigger share of my heart I began to think again. When I started taking Jesus to work with me I began telling myself “With Jesus I am who I am, but I am not all that I can be.”

    Lisa Singh in her book Created on Purpose for Purpose: Becoming God's Masterpiece write. “Life is more than just passing through to get to a better place; even though that will be the end result, we have to believe that life is much more, and that the reason we were put on the earth is not to do time or to buy time but accomplish something with the time we have been given. We have to arrive at a place in our lives where we are convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt that we have been created on purpose for purpose!”*

    Discovering the purpose of our lives is directly connected with who we experience ourselves to be. One of the purposes we’ve been created for is to not shrink into obscurity but to take our rightful place next to Jesus at the forefront of the 2018 Jesus movement as a shining light and shed our light on the pathway leading to eternal life. As I see it the ultimate purpose for each of us is summed up in one four letter word: LOVE. Genesis tells us we were created in the image and likeness of God, therefore isn’t that our greatest calling/purpose to Love as God Loves?

    With Jesus in your heart you can be more than you can be!

    “Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life…” **

    Grace and PEACE,
    Gary

    Amen Gary!!!
    3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures --1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (borrowed with gratitude from 37818's sig)
