The David Spoon Experience 2-16-23 Part 1

A) You are our letters: Think of it this way; as the Lord writes into our lives His awesome wisdom, we become His letters. We are read to the world and to the universe continually. But our letters are not given because of sports and are not written with ink. THE HOLY SPIRIT writes us for all the world to read. Yea, sometimes, as we grow, we discover He follows the same line again. But it’s for our benefit as well as those who read us.

B) Paul’s confidence was “through Christ.” Even with all his spiritual accomplishments, the Apostle Paul knew that it wasn’t him or because of him. It’s Jesus and because of Jesus. Competence means ability and capability. So the idea that we can do all things through Christ is directly connected to the kingdom work. But God isn’t going to frown because we throw all our “we can do it” attitude upon Him.

C) God qualifies people as ministers. Yes…I know about 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus. But guess what? God has, does, and will bring people into ministry who seem to need a little extra work. That’s why 1 Timothy and Titus have DIFFERENT qualifications. Because their situations were different.
