We Are Called To Be Faithful Soldiers

 The spread of false doctrine in the Church is likened to a cancer that spreads and infects the physical body, which finally dies. The Church of God, individually and corporately, should rather stand fast on the firm foundation of Christ Jesus our Lord and should shun every kind of evil thought, unkind word, ungracious action, or selfish motive.
 We Are Called To Be Faithful Soldiers who obey their commander-in-chief, determined athletes who run with patience the race set before them, industrious farmers who faithfully plant and tend their crops to harvest, diligent workmen who treasure God's Word in their hearts, and strong buildings which stand firm on their immovable foundation, and that Rock is Christ.
 God alone knows the thoughts and intentions of every man and woman. He can read the inner thoughts of our hearts and discern our secret motives, and God knows all those that belong to Him.
 Everyone who calls themselves Christians, all those who are called by His name, are instructed to abstain from every kind of evil but in Christ's strength, to diligently pursue that which is good while relying in utter dependence upon the Lord.
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that You sent the Lord Jesus to be the firm foundation upon which we are to stand. Thank You that we are Your children and that You know everything about us. Help us, we pray, to abstain from every kind of evil, and help us to run the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
