Peniel Sunday Service | March 9, 2025 | Psalm 125:3

11/24/2025

There is a misconception quietly spreading in the church today: one that whispers that the more spiritual a person becomes, the more distant, intense, or unrelatable they should appear. As if closeness to God should make someone float above ordinary life, unable to be touched by the needs, emotions, and realities of those around them.

But the opposite is true. The deeper a person walks with God, the more balanced, grounded, and deeply present they become.

Look at Jesus. The most spiritual person who ever walked the earth and yet the most approachable, the most relatable, the most compassionate. Children ran to Him. Sinners dined with Him. The broken felt safe near Him. His holiness did not build walls; it built doors. His purity did not distance Him; it drew others close.

Spiritual maturity doesn’t make a person strange, it makes them stable. It doesn’t make them unreachable, it makes them understanding. It doesn’t make them intimidating, it makes them safe.

The more spiritual a person becomes, the more they should sound like peace, not pressure. The more they should carry gentleness, not superiority. The more they should radiate humility, not spiritual performance. Deep spirituality is not loud, forceful, or dramatic, it is steady, warm, and deeply human.

We were never called to be “super-spiritual” in the sense of being detached from people. We were called to be filled with the Spirit in a way that makes us more loving, more patient, more empathetic, more kind: people who can sit in someone’s pain without trying to impress them with our righteousness.

A truly spiritual person doesn’t spend their days proving how holy they are. Instead, their life quietly reflects the fruits of someone who has been with Jesus. They listen more than they talk. They help more than they judge.

If our spirituality makes people feel small, we’re doing it wrong. If our “depth” makes others feel like they don’t qualify, we’ve missed the heart of God. If our closeness with Jesus pushes us away from people instead of toward them, it’s not closeness: it’s pride dressed as spirituality.

Spirituality is not measured by how high you reach, but by how low you bow. The holier we become, the kinder we should sound. The deeper we go with God, the softer we should treat people. The more spiritual we are, the more human we must remain. The more spiritual a person gets, the more balanced and relatable that person should be.

Because true depth doesn’t make you distant. It makes you more like Jesus❤️‍🔥

According to the 2025 State of the Bible survey, people who are actively involved in their church communities are less stressed, less lonely and more hopeful than those who aren’t.

The gaps are big enough to matter. Regular churchgoers report nearly 40 percent lower stress levels. Their loneliness drops by about 20 percent, and their sense of hope for the future climbs by roughly the same amount. That puts church involvement in the same league as other proven wellness practices like exercise, therapy or strong social networks—but with even sharper results in some cases.

Bible reading on its own also makes a difference. Weekly Scripture engagement is tied to lower anxiety and stronger resilience, sometimes outperforming things like volunteering or catching up with friends. But the real shift happens when personal faith is combined with active participation in a church community—actually showing up, serving and building relationships.

“People’s lives improve when they engage with their church—not just attending, but using their gifts, developing relationships, and taking advantage of opportunities to grow spiritually,” said John Farquhar Plake, chief innovation officer at the American Bible Society.

Maybe the next big self-care movement isn’t something we invent, but something that’s been quietly holding people together for generations.

RUN ,RUN AWAY FROM THEM ,RUN !!

1. RUN away from ‘Churches’ and ‘Ministries’ where you’re comfortable in your sins without any sense of shame or guilt.

2. RUN away from ‘Churches’ with empty endless prophesying that have you occupied with “I RECEIVE” shouts and screams that now have your eyes fixed on earth rather than on Christ, the author and finisher of your faith.

3. RUN away from the ‘gospel’ that only focuses on Self-improvement and how to live ‘your best life now’.

4. RUN AWAY FROM those who use the name of Christ for personal gain, picking your pockets ‘in the name of Jesus’.

5. RUN away from teachings and preachings that only focuses on Health, Wealth, and Prosperity.

6. RUN away from ‘Churches’ and ‘Ministries’ where men, and not Christ, are being glorified.

7. RUN away from ‘churches’ and ‘Ministries’ where there’s no call for Repentance, Holiness, and Total Separation from the World.

8. RUN away from ‘Sermons’ and ‘Teachings’ that excites your flesh and sterve your spirit.

9. RUN away from those who preach division between Races and Culture.

“Come out from among them and be Separate, says the Lord”!

(2 Corinthians 6:17)

Today in Christian Missions History

On June 6, 1844, George Smith, a British missionary and teacher, arrived in China under the Church Missionary Society. His initial journey to China came in the wake of the First O***m War, during a time of political instability and deep spiritual need.

Though his early stay was cut short due to illness and the volatile conditions of the time, Smith's burden for the Chinese people would not allow him to remain distant for long.

He later returned and, in 1849, was appointed as the first Anglican Bishop of Victoria in Hong Kong. More than just a clergyman, George Smith was a pioneer. He believed in the transformative power of education and became one of the early advocates for mission schools across China. He poured his energy into teaching, Bible translation, and the establishment of local church leadership - planting seeds of the Gospel that would grow in generations to come.

Smith’s life reminds us that foundational work often goes unnoticed in its time, yet it lays the ground for future harvests. He did not seek popularity or quick success. Instead, he labored patiently, raising local Chinese believers and training them to lead, ensuring that the faith would not remain foreign, but deeply rooted in their own culture and language.

George Smith's story confronts us with important questions like:

- Are we willing to invest in the slow, often hidden work of discipleship and translation?

- Are we committed to raising indigenous leaders who will carry the Gospel forward long after we’re gone?

The nations still wait.

There are still languages without the Word of God.

Rural communities remain unreached.

Let the fire that burned in the heart of George Smith stir us again.

May our generation rise with the same passion; not for applause, but for impact. For Jesus. For the nations. For eternity.
