In an earlier post I suggested that in churches where the minister is having difficulty through opposition to the Gospel, the right question to ask is, What is God doing in our midst?
Another pertinent question that ministers can ask is, What is the Lord doing in my life? This is a profoundly personal question, and one that can shake us to the core. And if the question can do that, what effect will the answer not have on us!
Yet it is a vitally important question to ask. If God is working within His church, it follows as night does the day that He is also working in us. So what is He doing in us? What lessons is He teaching us? What does He want us to learn?
Unnerving questions indeed! But we must ask them if we are to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Christ. We must face up to what God is doing, not only through us, but IN us.
