I have written on many topics in this space. It is rare to have something new to write about. But here are the thoughts rattling around inside my head today.
The Bible is God's word. It is an ancient text. Preachers who preach just the bible make it seem like God only worked in ancient times for primitive people. To hear them preach, the only miracle happening today is when a sinner gets saved.
Is salvation really the greatest miracle of them all? I think the miracle you need now is greater. If you need healing or money or a new car that would be pretty exciting if God worked for you today, wouldn't it?
We live in a youth oriented society. We serve in a youth oriented church. Most of the ministry is focused on a small segment of our church. Do we have the results of young men getting married and being sent out to justify all of this energy going their way?
It is a challenging place in life to age out of ministry. To have been involved but, because of age or ailments, you cannot now do what you used to do.
The future of our church is young people taking the baton and running with it. But we send out guys in their 50's. Something is not adding up to me.
Big buildings can feel cold and sterile. But no one asks us before they build a conference center. They think bigger is better, even when it is not.
Blogs may be old school, but it's all I have. To God be the glory, great things He has done!
