It seems that on a regular basis, America is faced with tragic incidents such as what happened in Parkland,

Florida last week. Emotions range from heartbrokenness, sadness, tears, hopelessness, to anger and rage,

and others. As Christians, what comfort can we offer? At times, we question and say, “are we doing

enough”?

The Holy Spirit saw this day when He inspired Paul to write;

“So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable, always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know

that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.” – I Cor. 15:58 NLT

What this age must see and experience from the Christian community is genuine, heartfelt, compassionate

action and a loving yet firm, spoken message. We are given an exhortation at the conclusion of a chapter

where Paul writes about subjects such as: the crucified and resurrected Lord, our hope and assurance of

salvation, our last enemy, our final victory, the rapture and glorious body.

This is a powerful list of promises accomplished for those who believe in and have been converted to

Christ. We are then challenged with, “THEREFORE!”—in other words, in view of what I’ve told you in this

paragraph—let us be Strong (steadfast) fixed in direction, steady, directed, firm in purpose, faith,

attachment, unwavering; as opposed to the winds of doubt and opposition.

Let us be Unmovable—fixed, determined, anchored; as opposed to drifting in commitment and

determination.

Let us always be Abounding (overflowing) in the

work of the Lord; finding the place of service,

assistance and Spiritual contribution, as opposed

to apathy and lethargy.

Knowing (being absolutely sure) that our labor is

not in vain, without real significance, value, worth,

importance, or without effect or purpose.

We have a story to tell, a message to declare, a life

to live out to a world that is lost, broken, bruised

and battered; let us do it with all our might.
