Welcome to The Refinery
Accomplished people will tell you that goal setting is essential to achieving success in any worthy endeavour.
That’s all very well, but as disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ we have an opportunity to engage in goals that produce eternal fruit, and are fulfilling here, and now.
We use the word goal, which doesn’t sit comfortably with me, because setting goals is not the way of God. But, hear me out… it’s the context and word used in todays key verse.
The goal we are talking about is spoken about by the apostle Paul in Philippians 3:13–14
So what goal was Paul targeting? Simply put, Christian maturity. For the remainder of his life on earth, after that incredible conversion on the Road to Damascus, Paul was committed to the passionate pursuit of this singular ambition.
The English Standard Version describes the goal we press toward as “the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14, ESV).
God has called all of us upward toward His heavenly kingdom through an intimate relationship with His Son.
Until next time
Stay in the Blessings
I really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word.
When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer.
Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!
You’re important to God, and you’re important to us at The Refinery.
When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you.
So whatever you’re concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you! Or even if you just want to say Hi, you can contact us at www.refinerylife.org
