Labor

Labor Day, the holiday that celebrates our labor for our country by not making us work. Labor Day is all about the labor we put forth. We know about labor as Christians. We labor for Christ daily. With no rest, no break, and no complaining. The work is so big but yet there are few of us. We labor in a daunting glorious task of seeking to save the world.  It is labor that lacks glamor, prestige, respect, and honor in the worlds eyes. Our labor causes us to be homeless, beaten, persecuted, lonely, and reviled. It also causes us to be blessed. Our labor allows us to reach the promise of salvation. When we labor as Christ did we walk as He did. We get to be heirs because of our laboring. When we labor our faith grows, God is with us, we mature, we hold on to truth, and we hold on to promise. God put us to work and gave us the tools. He goes with us and strengthens us. Labor in Christ.
 “Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” Matt. 9:37

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Cor. 15:58
“Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.  To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.”  Col. 1:28-29

“We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored! To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless. And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.” 1 Cor. 4:10-13
Be a fool for Christ sake today. Spread the word and labor in Christ! Keep up the awesome work! God knows your work.

 Gal. 1:3-5

Family Light

Make sure your light is always shining no matter what your family is doing. “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.   “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:13-16 NKJV

The Effects

Make sure you are taking into account eternity with every choice you make about fun and pleasure. We will all be held accountable. As a family, we want to cultivate an environment that continually produces good wholesome fun. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” 1 Corinthians 5:10 NKJV

In The Name Of

Everything that we do must be in the name of Jesus. The phrase “in the name of” identifies by whose authority. Everything we do we must do in and by the authority of Christ. We cannot quit because Christ is with us. Jesus made it clear if we do His commands He is with us tell the end of the age. We must work and operate within His authority and by His authority.   Success outside of this parameter is not godly success but worldly achievement. Therefore, it is nothing more than sin. In order to never quit and have an attitude of success only we must remain in Christ authority. The right growth, maturity, success rate, and prize in only found in Christ. Everything else is only an illusion of what could be.   Keep working in the name of Jesus. ““Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; ”” Acts 2:38 “And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through...
