PDF Title: Journal Entry
Author: Ron Christian
Summary#
Journal Entry is a reflective Christian writing in which Ron Christian maintains that God’s servants should live and work with humility, self-forgetfulness, and freedom from comparison, jealousy, competition, and the desire for recognition. The entry asserts that God chooses different instruments for different assignments, whether those assignments are visible public ministries or quiet, hidden acts of service. Ron Christian contends that believers should rejoice when God uses others effectively in prayer, preaching, teaching, evangelism, writing, music, leadership, or compassionate service, instead of measuring themselves against those gifts and accomplishments. The writing also proposes that Christians should begin to reflect the spirit of heaven on earth by appreciating the gifts of fellow believers as though those gifts were their own. Its central message is that Christ is the true Master, each believer is one member of His Body, and all Christian work should be done for Christ’s glory and the edification of God’s people rather than for personal credit.
