Instead a godly person will use words to build up others and show them grace: So often, even in Christian homes, family members rip into one another with rotten words and never confess their sinful speech and ask forgiveness.
Several years ago Marla and I were at a pastoral couples conference.
Sermon: “Walk the Talk”
We had just checked into our room when we could hear through the door into the adjoining room a couple exchanging barbed attacks on each other. This was a pastor and his wife, but they sounded like the kind of destructive speech you hear on the worst TV sitcoms! The man was disqualified for ministry because he was not using godly speech toward his wife. Walking with the Lord Jesus means bringing your speech under His lordship and judging yourself when you sin with your words.
In modern parlance, your lifestyle. This points to your behavior which should testify to your commitment to Jesus Christ. Honesty, integrity, how you spend your time and money, your priorities, your attitude toward possessions, your personal appearance, the way you maintain your home, the way you treat people—all of these factors should add up to show that Christ is Lord of your life. This focuses on your relationships. Biblical love is not a gushy feeling, but rather a self-sacrificing, caring commitment which shows itself in seeking the highest good of the one loved.
Paul spells out the qualities of love in 1 Corinthians Each of us should frequently evaluate our conduct toward others, especially in our homes, by that list. This could point to faithfulness or reliability, a fruit of the Spirit. Or, it could point to the faith we are to have toward God. We call ourselves believers, and yet all too often we are not believing believers!

But in order to carry on any significant ministry, we must be men and women of faith. We have leaned upon God in our own trials and have proved Him to be faithful. So we can ask and trust God to work in the lives of those to whom we minister. This means moral purity, not just outwardly, but in the thought life. Sexual immorality always begins in the mind. As soon as a wrong thought pops into your mind, you confess it and turn from it.
A survey of American pastors revealed that 20 percent view pornographic material at least once a month Leadership [Winter, ], p. I believe that a man who yields to viewing pornography at least once a month should not be in leadership until he gains victory.
Purity in thought and deed is essential for ministry. Thus your walk with Christ is the necessary basis of any work you do for Christ. Since the Lord wants every member of His body to function in serving Him, pay attention to your walk. But you do need to be growing in each area, bringing every aspect of your life into submission to the lordship of Christ. Then, as you relate to others, you slop over what you have of Christ to them; you are ministering. It requires attention and work as well:.
Note the importance of the ministry of the Word in the church assembly: Paul exhorts Timothy not to neglect his gift 4: There is much more that could be said, but I want to point out five things concerning spiritual gifts:. You have not been left out. God has gifted you to serve Him. Normally, believers receive a spiritual gift at conversion. Of course God can bestow other gifts subsequent to salvation as He deems necessary to equip a person for a specific ministry.
Sermon: "Walk the Talk" - First Churches of Northampton, MA
So they laid hands on Timothy, prayed for him, and he received the gift of teaching for his task see 2 Tim. God does not normally reveal your gift supernaturally. As you grow in Christ and get involved in serving Him, other believers begin to confirm your gift. Even though Timothy received his gift in a rather dramatic fashion, he had to work at developing it. Note the words Paul uses to exhort Timothy to exercise and develop his gift 4: The fire was dying out.
The spiritual muscle can atrophy from non-use. You must make a commitment to fulfill the ministry God has given you: As you do certain things, you will narrow down your field of interest and ability until you discover your area of gift.
Sermon: “Walk the Talk”
Then concentrate primarily on your area of gift, while remembering that every Christian is responsible to serve in most areas. But you focus in your area of gift. You work hard to develop your ministry skills in that area.
