“For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with a stewardship.”‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9:16-17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!” My current CLC group is about to finish and we are discussing where our passion lies to serve Christ. I love how Paul HAD to preach the Gospel. It consumed him and he wouldn’t be at peace if he didn’t. We all have a place in the kingdom that God has uniquely created us and we are not at peace until we are in that purpose. Please pray that we and our friends prioritize our day around that purpose and live in the peace and joy that God wants for us. Please pray for the CLC Prayer and Fundraising breakfast on 2/18 with Bill Curry.
