Greetings!
I found a group of people who meet every other week in a park about 30min from my home to openly worship Christ in prayer and song, apart from "sterile" Church environment.
They are very imperfect, can't really sing, don't even do Bible studies, just read a verse or two. YET it was a great honour to openly proclaim Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord and King in a fear-struck world.
Hey, and to give Brothers and Sisters a hug again. I almost forgot how good that is. :)

THANK YOU !!!

Oya, I have a testimony... Use the Name of Jesus against fear and depression!!!!! #YouHearMe

Lord help me to be childlike,not childish😀

@sinbach May the Lord bless you and make you victorious in your quest!

We are on one of our biggest adventures right now. can't say much about it but would appreciate your prayers.

Why have 65 million left Christianity in the last 3 decades? Why does Gen Z have twice as many atheist as any other generation? Why are Christians fearful, lacking faith and full of anxiety? Would it suprise you to know that a massive amount of people who attend church in America are not Christians? Is it the seeker sensitive way of doing church that has caused this? Would it surprise you to know that the average American who attends the average church each Sunday never hears the gospel preached? Why is that? How can we reach Gen Z? How can we see America turned around? What if it is much less about trying to be relavant that matters and much more about being Biblical? Watch this and find out? https://youtu.be/-_EYF6_LB5I

@ChrisHarrison I was once in a meeting, with a group of churches planning another holiday club, together

One of their written down, stated intentions, was "to show that they were not a dead church"

I wasn't very popular during that meeting. I didn't let that one alone!!

In the UK we're dominated by coffee shops, a reliance on building hire to make money, and anything that makes the church look trendy.

1 particular scourge is Messy Church. Such a nightmare of a thing, but it's popular because it makes churches feel good cos it gets people in the building, but without actually engaging them with Jesus Christ. it's just a cheap couple of hours of childcare that generates more serious troubles than I can type out here...so many churches have grown very large ghost congregations; dozens of people who will never engage with church, but keep church people busy (it's very resource heavy!)

That one, in particular, gets me down - as someone passionate about engaging children with Jesus!

I am HORRIFIED by this story out of Afghanistan! And I don't understand why God let this happen.
At the same time, perhaps He is sowing seed in the soil of this land. Perhaps the blood of His saints will bring forth a mighty Harvest.
In case they are still alive, please pray for these brothers and sisters and orphans to be safe.

@Cherishingsparrows2020 That is wonderful! They are very committed people.

I am often asked by some friends “What have you done today to combat racism?” or “What have you done to show you’re anti-racist?” Here’s a great article written by a black woman with the purpose of pointing out the Woke Trick in those statements...and others.

Great word from my wife!

Before I called my podcast "The Faith of the Fathers," I called it "The Gospel For Planet Earth."
This is one of those older episodes but it is a MUST listen.
💯 🔥🔥
Kelsey's story is beautiful AND tragic. Kelsey went through hell before she found someone who could show her the true love of the Father. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Matthew 24:14 - let’s get after it!

For thus says the Lord God of Israel:

The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry,

until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth.’ ”

I Kings 17:14 NKJV
