This weekend we were blessed at church by the ministry of Teen Challenge. Rodney Hart, the director for the New England District (I think) spoke and people from 4 different teen challenge locations formed a choir and a few of them gave their testimonies. It was such a refreshing service to hear the miracles God has done to transform their lives... their faith is so real and raw because it was birthed out of a desperate cry for a life change.
One of the things he said that I really loved is that "we as christians are all just beggars telling others where to find food." I love it! The Word of God says "For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not recieve? Now if you did indeed recieve it, why do you boast as if you had not recieved it?" (1 Cor. 4:7). The entire chapter is very rich on the subject of taking preference, comparing and boasting within the church. He alone is our righteousness! (Jer. 23:6)
The speaker at church also said there are no superstars in the body of Christ exept for Christ Jesus alone! We all have the same free access to the word and power of God.
Thank you, Jesus!
