Hello out there! Thanks for reading. I want to welcome you to the Salem Agape Ministries blog. I hope that we will be posting in a somewhat regular fashion and that we can have a conversation that is uplifting, stimulating, and that always glorifies God. We at Agape Ministries are striving together to go deeper into a life-changing relationship with Jesus, to know Him more, to surrender all for His sake, to treasure Him above all else, and to proclaim God's glory in every setting in which He places us.
For your consideration, a quote from A.W. Tozer's great little book, The Pursuit of God:
Tozer is writing about the fundamental aspect of faith, which he describes as a spiritual looking at or focus on God. He writes of the joy and simplicity of this act, which is engaged in by all believers, not just an elite few monks or ministers, but common men who have been transformed by a vision of God. "Many have found the secret of which I speak and, without giving much thought to what is going on within them, constantly practice this habit of inwardly gazing upon God. Even when they are compelled to withdraw their conscious attention in order to engage in earthly affairs, there is within them a secret communion always going on. Let their attention but be released for a moment from necessary business and it flies at once to God again."
May we know something of this ability to commune with God in everything, always enjoying the fellowship of the Holy Spirit throughout our days and nights, in work or in play. As Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 10:31, "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
May God bless you,
Wade Stephenson
