Lord, please remind us that Your call is not just to the treasured times of worship or to those peaceful moments of prayer, but because of the resurrection, it is to move with courage into the encounters and arenas of life where many have not heard the gospel's call. Help us to speak of You when it is not easy, to love and live for You when it is safer to just go along with wrong. Help us to know that in the day of Jesus Christ, His kingdom will come. And let us, O God, be bound by a love so amazing, true and divine, that we may go out boldly in Your love to embrace a weary and despairing world..so that we may lift that world to You. In Jesus' name, amen.

And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him..
