Advance God’s Work

Advance God’s Work I don’t want to imply that we should never discuss controversial issues or anything but how to share Jesus with others. We should discuss those big things, but God’s work happens in the small stuff, too. We can advance his work by encouraging. By offering hope. By choosing to voice thankfulness over criticism.  In a different letter, Paul encouraged the Philippians (Philippians 4:8) to think about what’s true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. Don’t we all need more conversations and thoughts like these in our lives? If I thought like that, well then, I’d probably talk like that. And I think that’s how my conversations could advance God’s work.  “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things” (Phillians 4:8).
