Happy Wednesday Federated Family!!
Today's reading is from James 4. James in this letter, at the beginning of the chapter, is speaking directly to something Paul is speaking to in the book of Philippians. Paul reminds us to "do all things without murmuring and disputing" in order to maintain a good witness. James 4 starts by addressing this. James reminds them, and us, that if we have friendship with the world that it will cause us as believers to quarrel and fight with each other. When we quarrel and fight then we are not living in unity with each other as Paul reminds us we are called to so often. One of the greatest results of this is that it ruins our witness to those that are not yet believers. When people look at the church and see fighting and problems they think, "why would I want to be part of that? They are no different from the rest of the world!" James reminds us of the harm that quarreling and fighting does to our witness. We must always keep in mind that many eyes are on us watching. They are waiting to see if Jesus really makes a difference and changes people. What a tremendous opportunity to make an impact for the Kingdom. Let's be a church that takes care and keeps a good witness so the Kingdom of God!! Lives depend on it!!

This morning's Scripture reading is Philippians 1:27–2:4.
In verse 27, Paul reminds the church in Philippi and us today that as followers of Christ, we are citizens of heaven.

Citizenship was a big deal in Paul's day, and it’s still a big deal today. But our citizenship in heaven came at a tremendous cost. 1 Corinthians 6:20 tells us that we were bought with a price, and that price was paid by Jesus Christ.

Often, I think about what is owed to me as a citizen of the United States. But how often do I stop to consider what is expected of me as a citizen? How should I conduct myself in a way that honors the country I belong to?

Paul tells us that as citizens of heaven, we are called to live our lives in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. That means we no longer live for ourselves, but seek to live according to the will of Christ.

Jesus surrendered His life for me. Now, I am called to surrender my ways to Him.

Paul goes on in Philippians 2:1–4 to show us what this looks like in practice. We are called to live with humility, pursue unity, love one another, and put others before ourselves.

Ask yourself this morning: Are there any areas of my life where I am not living in a manner worthy of Jesus Christ?

Let's live today in a way that reflects the One to whom we belong!

Happy Wednesday Federated Family!
Today's reading is continuing through Paul's journey in the book of Acts. Through this journey in prison Paul keeps appealing to Caesar because he feels the leading of the Holy Spirit that Rome is where he needs to go. All through the journey as he goes before government officials and the accusations are brought against him, the authority comes to the same conclusion..."This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."
So why would Paul be doing this, why wouldn't he just take advantage of being found not guilty? First is because this was what the Holy Spirit was leading him to. Another large reason was because going before authorities to defend himself like we see in Acts 26 gave him a chance to preach the Gospel to Roman authorities! he got to share with King Agrippa in this chapter and let God continue to do the work of salvation to those he shared with!
Do you have those same eyes and mindset? To intentionally put yourself in situations that you can share the Gospel with those who don't believe! Be intentional today!
