The Word to the World
Spirit-filled Christians are uniquely enabled to resist the moral decay and political decline of secular society. The only question is whether we will. The example of Micah provides us with every hope and reason to swim against the societal tides.
The call to encourage one another and build one another up is far more than merely developing good neighbourliness and a positive community spirit. Rather, when Christians are reminded of their glorious transformation and victorious future, they are enabled to truly encourage their fellow believers
The Lord Jesus Christ has set an example of how we should be humble, gracious and servant-hearted in our care for one another. Like him, we should desire that all those that we care for have “clean feet.”
Just as a comprehensive and consistent pro-life commitment leaves no room for compromise, so meaningful church membership requires a thorough commitment to walking in the Spirit in all areas of life and in all relationships.
