Cultivating Resistant, Resilient and Renovative Christian Community

These are the pedals on Paul’s bike of discipleship. God works as we work. We work as God works. Pedal 1: God is at work in you, to make you willing and able to serve him. So, press down on that pedal! Push into Christ by your faith. That will raise up Pedal 2: Work out own your salvation. Is Paul saying we can save ourselves? Of course not. But once God has been at work in us, we can respond with working out our salvation in vibrant mission to the world. God works, so we can work. As we work--as we worship, love, serve and extend ourselves--God works in us even more. So the bike of discipleship rolls.
