Verse of The Day For Monday, November 17, 2008

"God, whom I serve with my whole heart in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you" (Romans 1:9 NIV).

In the New Testament, the Greek word translated as "serve" is latreuo and always refers to religious service and is synonymous with worship. Just as Paul's service to God was not out of fear or bondage to legalism, but was in spirit and in truth, so ours should be as well. Sadly, there are many who profess to be Christians who just go through the motions of serving God in order to give the appearance of being "Christian." A genuine Christian's service to God is to be motivated by our love for Him. Our serving God is part of our worship of Him, and as such, we ought to be completely sold out to Him. Sadly, there are those who have sold their soul to liberalism, political correctness, etc., and in so doing, have made themselves enemies of God, rather than servants of God and have become tools in the hands of satan and his demons.

"Some bring God's curse on them by marking off part of the Bible, calling it erroneous, uninspired, less than the very Word of God." - Dr. John R. Rice

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." (Romans 1:16)
