Abiding in Christ: 50 Days of Prayer and Fasting, from Easter to Pentecost

A prayer for our fellowship based on Ephesians 4.

Father, we pray that we would walk in a manner worthy of our calling, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love. Help us to be eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Remind us often that there is one body and one Spirit, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Father, may we receive Christ’s gifts given to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

Lord, by the power of your Spirit in us, help us to speak the truth in love, to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. Amen.

May 13—If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. Pray for the Word of God to remain in us, having its transforming effect on our lives. 1 John 2:24, Isaiah 55:10-11

May 14—Pray for growth in the C12 Twin Cities ministry. They hope to have two CEO groups by the end of 2018, with a third group ready to form. May these groups advance the Kingdom of God.

May 15—Pray for Pastor Charlie's visit to Albania to visit the Andersons in May, that he would have safe travels and God would be in the details of the time together.

May 16—We praise you, Lord Jesus, that you humbled yourself, taking on flesh to redeem us.

May 17—Pray for Prime Minister, Edi Rama, to lead Albania with wisdom and equity and to become a believer himself.

May 18—Father, help us to see that your pruning work in our lives is an act of grace for our good and our growth.

May 19—Pray for those in our body struggling with any type of sexual sin. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

May 20—But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you how to abide in Christ. 1 John 2:27

The Secret of all Failure is our Failure in Secret Prayer

“We may be assured of this—the secret of all failure is our failure in secret prayer” (12). So writes the anonymous author of the classic little book on prayer entitled, The Kneeling Christian (Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids: 1971). He means that the reason we so often fall into sin or live in discouragement or fail to bear fruit is because we do not cling to God in Christ above all things. We do not diligently seek him or lean on him or plead with him or draw on his strength. We give ourselves to busyness over communion with God and in this way we seek to accomplish in our flesh what can only be accomplished in the power of the Spirit. Giving first place to what our dear author calls “secret prayer” is indeed a key to the Spirit-filled life but let’s be clear: prayer is not magic, rather, it’s a relationship. It’s not as if we simply have to file requests with God, being careful to use just the right words so that we can get him to respond as we wish. God is not a vending m

Deacons - How They Serve and Strengthen the Church (Part 1)

One of the next important priorities for GCF is to establish deacons in the life of the church. On March 14, 2021 we were able to establish an elder team. Currently, we have a team of four elders overseeing the congregation of GCF. However, there is more work to be done. I have come to see that establishing an elder team was the bare minimum that needed to happen for GCF to survive. I believe GCF now needs to turn our attention to raising up a team of qualified and willing deacons to serve the congregation so that it will not only survive but thrive. I would like to begin a series of blogs on deacons to help us understand who they are and what they do in the life of the church. In this blog let me provide three reasons why I think deacons should be near our top priority. Number 1: It is Biblical. Paul instructs Timothy to install elders who will help him pastor the church. For whatever reason, it seems the churches in our circles treat the installment of elders as non-negotiable

Does the Doctrine Divide? by Patience Griswold

“Oh, I try not to talk about doctrine. It’s so divisive.” This is a sentiment that I’ve heard expressed, as well as implied, on many occasions, and one that raises the question, does doctrine divide? In answering this question, we must keep in mind a very important truth and that is that everyone holds to some sort of doctrine . “Doctrine” is defined as “a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a church, political party, or other group.” Regardless of whether or not someone publicly holds to a statement of beliefs from a particular church, every Christian, by definition, holds to a particular set of beliefs. As Carl Trueman observes in his book The Creedal Imperative , [W]hile Christianity cannot be reduced to doctrine, to mere teaching, it cannot be meaningfully separated from it, either. Even the most basic claims, such as “Jesus is Lord,” carry clear doctrinal content that needs to be explicated in a world where, as we have noted before, every heretic has his text and n
