Thoughts to Ponder

Following our lesson on Sunday, we concluded there were several questions that we need to ask ourselves.

1. Do you ever rob God of glory when you take credit for your own good works, or are you like John the Baptist recognizing that our ministry and the ability to carry it out are God given?

2. John said, "He must increase, but I must decrease." How are you working to actively increase Christ and decrease self?

3. In what areas of your life do you need to die to yourself and your agenda so that Christ and His bride can flourish?

My memory verse this week is Ephesians 2:8-10 because it connects the grace gift of salvation to the grace gift of good works. Either way, no man (or woman) can boast.
