Mind
Read Acts 19.8-10
“.. Paul .. argued persuasively about the kingdom of God ..” (Acts 19.8)
The Holy Spirit’s work of transforming believers is effected through the renewal of their minds (Rom.12.2). The ministry of the Word must be central in all Christian ministry, both in weekly worship (v.8) and long-term discipleship (vv.9f).
How careful are you to ensure that you are regularly exposed to the clear and thorough teaching of the Word of God?
In what ways does the Bible teaching you receive have a ‘spill-over’ effect in the lives of others (see v.10)?
Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for those who faithfully teach me the Scriptures. Help me also to handle Your Word well and be able to argue persuasively about Your kingdom.
