We sing, Standing on the Promises, but all we seem to do is sit in the pews. Shouldn't we be about our Fathers work? Teaching and setting an example to those who are lost,and held captive to that liar. Luke 4:18-19

You are right. We weren't put here to sit idly and watch others getting hurt. Because I am a Christian, it is my responsibility to make this world a better place, starting with myself. Talking about the word with others is important for spiritual growth, and we are meant as a church to help each other and grow. However, it's not for us, it's really about God and his will that more people be experiencing what we are. We are servants to humanity in a way when we are true Christians. There should be less preaching and more doing and living by example!

1:God put us here for reasons of His own. Why do most parents want kids? There are plenty of reasons right there.
2:Yes, we should live our lives according to God's will. Not just in church but in everyday life. By showing what God has done for us we set an example. By Witnessing and preaching the Gospel we do his work. By letting Him guide us.....all of these and more are examples of doing God's work.
As for being a puppet, we are not puppets nor does God need counseling nor is He fallible. God gave us free will to do as we will on this planet. If earth is a mess it's our own fault. We made the mess, why should we expect God to clean it up? If He did, we would just make more for Him to clean up and become even more spoiled than we are now. We need to learn to clean up this world on our own. Following God's word is the only way to do that.
This is simple folks: Life is a test and only a test. Christ Jesus is the answer. Life is a crucible: do you want to come out as cheap tin or finely tempered steel? The choice is yours.

2 Corinthians 11. Jesus came as a example...we work as Jesus worked we live as Jesus lived always bearing in are bodies the resurrection of him..He said no one takes my life I give it freely. God does call but we make the choice.....God directs us and leads us he gives the gift. Jesus had that gift the Holy spirit it rest and rules and abides with us. Come rain or shine. He said I and the father are one. We and Jesus are one. He said if my word abides in you and you abide in me than you are my disciples. Did Jesus live in a rose garden? What happen to him,when he came to visit? He said if they treated me that way so much more will they treat you...study their fruit and pray for their root. We must pray continually for the Saints to stay strong and not be double minded. God blesses the chosen that their eyes will be open to the truth and not give up on this great thing called salvation. Let us comfort them as you have comforted us ,this is a pilgrimage,let us remember that this land is not our home. We have power through what you have done.
Grant us this petition we pray in Jesus name. John 17 read it. Jesus knew.

Jesus was about his father's work, when he came as a messenger to spread the gospel about God's coming kingdom on Earth. And you are right! We should be living our lives as an example to the world.

No, God placed us here as a result of sin.
Yes we should be about our fathers business or else our redemption would have been in vain. God only caters for those who bear fruits in His kingdom.

We all have our calling in our lives, and we all have periods of needed growth. Just because someone is not out and about does not mean they are not where God wants them. Moses had to spend so many years before the burning bush experience.
