&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Journal Entry&lt;/em&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Life In The Church!</title><link>https://clmbooks.org/effective-christian-living-booklets/06-life-in-the-church/</link><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://clmbooks.org/effective-christian-living-booklets/06-life-in-the-church/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PDF Title:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Life In The Church!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Life In The Church!&lt;/em&gt; is an Effective Christian Living booklet in which Ron Christian maintains that healthy church life is built on prayer, faithfulness, love, unity, cooperation, and humble service. The booklet asserts that prayer is a means of grace for spiritual growth, giving believers guidance, comfort, strength, courage, and peace as they walk with God. Ron Christian contends that Christians should remain faithful in their labors of love even when visible results are delayed, and that believers should avoid divisiveness over secondary doctrines while holding firmly to the essentials of the faith. The work also proposes that the Church is not a religious club or spectator activity, but the Body of Christ, where each believer contributes unique gifts for the good of all. Its central message is that life in the church should reflect Christlike love, peace-making, humility, cooperation, and unity amid diversity.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>What Does it Matter Who the Instrument Is?</title><link>https://clmbooks.org/from-rons-journal/what-does-it-matter-who-the-instrument-is/</link><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://clmbooks.org/from-rons-journal/what-does-it-matter-who-the-instrument-is/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PDF Title:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;What Does it Matter Who the Instrument Is?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;What Does it Matter Who the Instrument Is?&lt;/em&gt; is a reflective Christian journal entry in which Ron Christian maintains that believers should serve God with humility, self-forgetfulness, and freedom from comparison, competition, jealousy, and the desire for personal recognition. The writing asserts that God chooses different instruments for different assignments, whether those assignments are public and widely noticed or quiet and ordinary. Ron Christian contends that Christians should rejoice when God uses others effectively in prayer, evangelism, preaching, teaching, writing, music, leadership, or hidden acts of service, rather than coveting their gifts or accomplishments. The entry also proposes that believers should begin to reflect the spirit of heaven on earth by appreciating the gifts of fellow Christians as though those gifts were their own. Its central message is that Christ is the Master, each believer is one member of His Body, and faithful service should aim at Christ’s glory and the edification of God’s people rather than personal credit.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
