Everything in our Christian life and service flows from our relationship with God. If we are not in vital fellowship with Him, everything else will be out of focus. But when our communion with Him is close and real, it is gloriously possible to experience a growing intimacy.J. Oswald Sanders
“Everything” is a strong word. Yet, it is not too strong for the truth that it conveys. Jesus taught that if a branch is not attached to a vine, it will die. In His words, “apart from me, you can do nothing” (John 15:5). Everything in our Christian life and service flows from our relationship with God. God created us to enjoy relationship, fellowship and communion and He designed us so that ministry flows from Him - through us - to others. As we consider how to minister more effectively, we must begin with our relationship with God.
