This is part three of a trilogy including Gossiping the Gospel and The Power of Intent.

When we pray and ask God to let his will be done in our lives, how much do we mean it? We try to avoid putting our agenda before God’s will, but I suggest that the bigger problem is that we often don’t take God seriously enough in his statements about how he will use us to his glory and honor.

God desires to take our daily life and spend it in a way that yields results we could not produce or predict. The net result will be so much greater than anything we could "do for the Lord"—and the impact can be magnified even further when we allow God to work through us as a community of believers.

To illustrate this point, I cite the following two powerful examples. The people involved didn’t perceive any particular dramatic value to what they were doing. Yet Christ used them to help bring the Roman Empire face to face with Jesus Christ.

Women

When the first house church believers followed Christ’s example in their communities, something started small, but soon grew large. As a direct result of their daily walk of obedience, the early church became attractive to women. In fact, the rate of conversion of women from paganism to Christianity became such a problem to the pagans that Emperor Julian issued a written order to Pope Damascus I banning Christian missionaries from calling at the homes of pagan women.
