Edification, Or Not

The body of Christ needs building up. We all have a responsibility to do this for ourselves and for each other as believers. This is how our lives improve as believers, by becoming more like Jesus. Leaders, especially those that lead a congregation as a Pastor, have an even greater responsibility to be a source of edification. So, if you are a Pastor, how do you know if you are edifying those around you? Look around. How are the people doing? How are your relationships with others, including other leaders. That is how you are doing. And the same goes for the rest of us.

Prayer
Father, we ask today that we might be a source of edification to the others in the body of Christ. Help us to connect with you and others in a way that leads us here on earth to usher in Your kingdom. In Jesus name. Amen.
