Romans 15;17-21
17.  In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God.18.  I will not venture to speak of anything, except what Christ has wrought through me to win obedience from the gentiles, by word and deed,
19.  by power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that from Jerusalem and as far round as Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ,20.  thus making it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, less I build on another man’s foundation,21.  But as it is written, “They shall see who have never been told of him, and they shall understand who have never heard of him.”
The Holy Spirit at work in Paul compelled him to carry the name of Jesus into all the world.  Evangelization, a concern for the salvation of the souls of others is Christ’s Great Commission to us all.  (see, Matthew 28;18-20)
Please note, Paul’s ministry was not in words only but in a powerful witness of Christ at work in him and through him by, “power of signs and wonders and by the power of the Holy Spirit.”  Our calling to “make disciples” is not by word alone, but by deeds of sacrificial love, God’s indwelling presence in us ‘on display.’
To “fully preach the Gospel” is to live the faith as well as speak it.  We are called into lives of holiness, sacrifice, devotion, dedication, and love.  Such living can only be done through Christ by the Holy Spirit leading us, and we by faith believing He is.
Prayer:  Merciful Father, grant us courage to be ‘going’ in Word and in deed.  In Jesus we pray, Amen.
Love,Dad/Baba/Eric/Grandpa Pickle Pastor“A chapter a day, every day, progressively, be transformed, ‘soak’ in the living Word.  God’s Word is our habitation, and we are His.”
