Nations will come to your light, and kings to your shining brightness.
Isaiah 60:3, CSB
We work in this world to usher others into the rest of Christ, taking His light to this dark world to show them rest from sin, anxiety, and fear.
Therefore, a Sabbath rest remains for God’s people.
Hebrews 4:9, CSB
We work in this world to usher others into the rest of Christ, knowing we await the perfect rest of eternity with our Lord.
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6, CSB
Humble, sacrificial service out of love for God and others is the expectation for those who carry the name of Jesus, remembering that we do not save people. Only Christ is truly the way to eternal life and forgiveness. We just share Him with everyone.
Who among you is wise and understanding? By his good conduct he should show that his works are done in the gentleness that comes from wisdom.
James 3:13, CSB
Humble, sacrificial service out of love for God and others is the expectation for those who carry the name of Jesus, having the same gentleness and compassion of Christ, not thinking we are better than others.
For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
Ephesians 2:18, CSB
Humble, sacrificial service out of love for God and others is the expectation for those who carry the name of Jesus, because that is the example He gave when He died for Jews and Gentiles alike.
Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’? Everything is possible for the one who believes.”
Mark 9:23, CSB
Humble, sacrificial service out of love for God and others is the expectation for those who carry the name of Jesus. He empowers us to live like He did, and we can lead others to the salvation He gives us.
Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and whoever is unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in much.
Luke 16:10, CSB
Humble, sacrificial service out of love for God and others is the expectation for those who carry the name of Jesus. Thinking we have it all figured out or are the only ones who can do things, or even those who don’t try, is wrong. We do all things for and through Christ.
Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus
Philippians 2:5, CSB
Humble, sacrificial service out of love for God and others is the expectation for those who carry the name of Jesus.
In the West, we are not as aware of what persecution against Christians is like. Pastors get comfortable, congregants are often apathetic (largely due to ignorance), and and non-regular attenders and non-Christians rarely care enough about to if they know of it to check. Many in our culture may even come across disagreement or inconvenience and think faith is not worth it.
Extreme persecution still happens. When people are so desperate for Christ that they willingly face violence and hatred but we prefer to stay comfortable, it shows the disparity as well as why Jesus said it is so hard for the wealthy to enter the Kingdom (Matthew 19:16-29; Mark 10:17-30; Luke 18:18-30). Even most of our poor and homeless are better off than half the world.
Let us pray for Jimmy’s work and that the pastors and others he teaches remain faithful and strong in the Lord.

“In every way I’ve shown you that it is necessary to help the weak by laboring like this and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, because he said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Acts 20:35, CSB
It is not what we do that makes us righteous before God, but it’s faith in Christ’s death on the cross and His resurrection that brings us righteousness. We then should want to share that righteousness with others to bring them to faith, and any other ways we can give like our Lord has to us should be our desire.
