Iron Rose Sister Ministries

What is the purpose of a spur? It gives the horse a poke in the side as an encouragement to get on with what it should be doing.
When we are in community, we rejoice in our shared interests, and enjoy spending time together. However, it’s not all about the fun times...
We are called to spur one another on toward love and good deeds, but what does it look like to spur on a sister in Christ? What words and actions serve as a gentle, loving spur? Are there spurs that have more of a negative than positive effect?
What would you add to this list of good and bad spurs? Any that you would change?
Good spurs:
• Encouraging words
• Prayers
• Example
• A note or text with a Bible verse
• Service
Bad spurs:
• Guilt
• Manipulation
• Comparison
• Gossip
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:24-25
