The Results are In: God Uses Community to Mature His People!

In the most recent issue of Leadership Journal (Spring 2015) the staff at Lifeway Christian Resources wrote this: “Your groups matter. A lot. Research shows that groups remain one of the most effective tools for learning the habits of faith…We see a deep connection between groups and discipleship, as God uses community that is rooted in Him to mature His people.”

The Bible teaches it. Your Pastors at Glory of Christ have labored in love to help you see it for eight years. And now there’s more hard data to prove it. Jesus created and called us to do life together in him, and when we listen and obey him, he works in us. He teaches us his way of life. He transforms us together into his image. He makes of us his Temple, Body, and Bride. He glorifies himself in and through us.

Life in Christ is life together, and I pray that we at Glory of Christ will engage in this life with renewed passion, hope, and joy!

Reflective Glory: How the Moon Displays the Mercy of God

Our sun is a fitting metaphor for the glory of God. In the context of our solar system, it is massive, bright, beautiful, powerful, self-sufficient, heat-producing, life-giving, and dangerous. It is, by far, the dominant feature of our solar system and without it the system would fling apart and all living things therein would die. On the other hand, our moon is a fitting metaphor for human beings, especially for those who believe in Jesus Christ. First, compared to the sun, the moon is tiny and dim. The sun is 400 times larger than the moon, its mass is 27 million times greater than the mass of the moon, and from our perspective its light shines 450,000 times brighter than that of the moon. The sun is so much greater than the moon that it’s difficult to quantify and express the difference. Likewise, the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is so much great than each and all of us that it’s impossible to quantify or express the difference. Indeed, the Lord is very great and greatly...

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord, by George Muller

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord By George Muller “It has pleased the Lord to teach me a truth, the benefit of which I have not lost for more than fourteen years. The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord, or how I might glorify the Lord, but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. “I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God—not prayer, but the Word of God. And here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God so that it only passes through my mind just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what I read, pondering over it, and applying it to my heart. To meditate on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, instructed. And that thus,...
