For when you divide yourselves up in groups—a “Paul group” and an “Apollos group” —you’re acting like people without the Spirit’s influence. Who is Apollos, really? Or who is Paul? Aren’t we both just servants through whom you believed our message? Aren’t each of us doing the ministry the Lord has assigned to us? I planted the church, and Apollos came and cared for it, but it was God who caused it to grow. This means the one who plants is not anybody special, nor the one who waters, for God is the one who brings the supernatural growth. Now, the one who plants and the one who waters are equally important and on the same team, but each will be rewarded for his own work.

“Different…why can’t they see it’s hard to be different.” This devotion explores our identity, purpose, and strength in Christ. Be encouraged that God LOVES differences and variety, and that these are actually gifts. Stand your ground, be proud of who you’ll become, and don’t ever run or hide from who you really are.

This devotional reflects my new song, “Heart of the Father”. Ultimately, my prayer is that God uses these devotionals and this song to remind us that He will never withhold His love from us. Our Father’s heart is one full of compassion, and no matter what stage of life we’re in — there will always be the grace and love of God waiting for us.
Ministry is a difficult calling, and it can be easy to lose sight of the true reason you became a pastor. Maybe you’ve started seeking praise for a good sermon, or started comparing your church to others. Things like this are common, but if left unchecked, they can lead to burnout and prevent you from serving your congregation well. With this 4-day reading plan, you will get verses and prayer prompts to examine your heart and align your heart with God’s.
Nobody is immune from the comparison trap. From time to time we all wonder why we’re not as far along in our career as someone else or find ourselves jealous of the talents of others we admire. If this is a challenge for you, join me in this four-day plan as we explore four biblical ways to escape the soul-sucking comparison trap.
