How to Avoid Being Defensive and Judgemental | Eckhart Tolle Reads A Course in Miracles

Just a short while or ago, Peter was swearing his love and loyalty for Jesus Christ. Peter did more than any other disciple, but not enough. Peter went further than any other disciple, but not far enough. He was the only one to stick up for Jesus, but it was so very wrong to become involved in this reckless sword play, with 200 soldiers present. This is the impulsive rash Peter.

They know and do what they are supposed to do. How wonderful it will be if each Christian knows her or his role in the body of Christ and function. Knowing and doing the will of God helps us do precisely that.

The effectiveness of prayer is clearly established. But new studies are showing that it also has a direct beneficial impact on our communities and, ultimately, the world.

Jesus said you are the Light of the work and salt of the world. The world needs us and not the church. The church is not a place of ministry. The world is.
