Daily Devotional - Monday, July 27

Ephesians 4:14-16
We all come from different backgrounds and walks of life but each of us is a supporting ligament, each of us is an integral part in the body of Christ. It's essential that we dont build up barriers between us and people who aren't believers just because they have different beliefs. We all have some common ground, a story of where we came from that allows us to identify with others and encourage them in the direction of Christ. And it's that story that tears down barriers. If we miss that, the whole idea of going on a mission trip to reach people is lost. So, I encourage you as we go into Canada, to stand firm in your faith and know that God uses all kinds of people to tear down barriers and bring others to Him.

  3. Common ground...all of it is level at the foot of the cross. Thanks for the good words. Jim
