The Word Of God Lives In You

I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.

I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one.

I write to you, dear children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

1 John 2:12-17

There are times in our lives when we realize whatever group we are working with needs new leadership. Jesus is the Lord of the harvest. Before doing anything else, turn to Him to lead the way.

Let’s take to heart the counsel of those who have lives in the Lord’s presence and are mature in His wisdom. They are God’s gift to us and our churches.

That one is truly wise who gains his wisdom from the experience of others.
