Applied Responsibility

ticket     The teachings, experiences and writings of the apostles matured, developed and equipped believers to be agency through which the Kingdom would be evidenced in this earth (Acts 8:12; 14:22; 19:8; 28:23,31; 1Co 4:20). Simply put, there is more to being a Christian than merely accepting Jesus as Savior and waiting for an opportunity to get our ticket to heaven punched. A realization of the Kingdom of God, a seeking of the Kingdom of God (Mt 6:33) will take us beyond mere “heaven-consciousness” to a maturing/developing process which results in more applied responsibility as sons, and that results in more visibility of the power of God in this present world and that meets man’s needs while bringing glory to God.
