I just wanted to blog a challenge to all of you guys based on a verse that God showed me this afternoon. Many of you have probably seen these verses before or even committed them to memory, but as God so often does, He really made this passage stand out to me today.
Ephesians 4:11-13 ~ "It was he who gave some to be...pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. (emphasis mine)
Here is what God really spoke to me today. First of all, I realize how very thankful we all should be to be a part of a church where both our pastor and our small group teacher are preparing us for works of service!!! Second, I want to challenge you all to pray these verses for our pastor and for Beth as we fit into the body of Christ as Westwood. Pray that God will equip them to prepare us for works of service so that we ALL may be built up until we ALL reach UNITY in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. What an awesome responsibility they have each week, and thus our responsibility is just as great to lift them up before our Heavenly Father. God bless you all this week! I'm praying for you!
Love,

This Scripture is really cool to add to memory: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For through Me your days will be many and years will be added to your life. Proverbs 9:9-11
