Ministry of Encouragement by Dane Ortlund
Transcription
One of the gifts in the church that we see in the pages of the New Testament that is so vitally needed today and neglected—we don’t talk about it much—is the ministry of encouragement. By that, I mean speaking words of life to other believers. If the gospel is true, and God has saved us, and he’s working in us by his Spirit, and there are evidence of that grace, alive and well in us in some way—different to each of us. The ministry of encouragement is to identify that in one another; to help each other see, specific, God-given glory within us. This is something that we need to continue to nurture and recover and wade into as the church for the sake of our joy, as the body of Christ.
