Business “Sents”

By Vonette Bright

“This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” John 15:12

Terry survived the first rounds of downsizing at her company’s New York City offices.
Two more rounds of layoffs are still coming.
Everyone still employed is nervous and stressed.
But Terry has invited other Christians to join her in praying for their colleagues.

Months earlier Terry quit an informal Bible study at work.
But after a cru event in New York City Terry returned with the hope of bringing something to the group.

Her “What can I get out of this?” attitude changed to “What can I offer?”

She now shares their vision for a Christian in every business –
on every floor – of every building in New York City,
so that everyone knows someone who truly follows Jesus.

Friend, no matter where you work, share God’s love with others.

His Life in Us

by Dr. Bill Bright

“Jesus said, ‘I will only reveal Myself to those who love Me and obey Me. The Father will love them too, and We will come to them and live with them. Anyone who doesn’t obey Me doesn’t love Me” John 14:23,24

Millions of Christians throughout the world profess their love for Christ each week by attending church services, singing songs, studying their Bibles, attending prayer meetings, etc. Yet, all the talk in the world will never convince anyone that you or I truly love the Lord unless we obey His commandments.

How can we know His commandments unless we study His word? When we study His Word, how can we comprehend what He is saying unless the Holy Spirit illumines our minds and teaches us? It is God the Holy Spirit who inspired the writing for His holy Word through holy men. He alone can help us understand the true meaning of the Scripture and enable us to obey His commands.

Thus, the reality of Christ abiding in us is made possible through a supernatural enabling of the Holy Spirit who came to glorify Christ and through whose indwelling presence the Lord Jesus will reveal Himself to us.

Is Jesus Christ a reality in your life? If not, it is quite likely that you are not demonstrating your love for Him by studying His Word and obeying His commandments.

Bible Reading: John 14:15-22

TODAY’S ACTION POINT: With the help of the Holy Spirit who enable me to live the supernatural life, I will endeavor to demonstrate my love for Christ by studying His word and obeying His commandments.
