I was ill for a while and then lost my motivation to post but I keep popping in to see if there may be something to interest me. I will try to get back to how I was.That site is really good. How are you doing, Pearl? Miss talking to you.
I am praying now for God to help you stay motivated in the work He has for you to do. It is not night yet!
Psalm 50:2
From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.
The world today has a distorted view of your church Lord. Christians are seen as intolerant and judgmental; laying down the law and pointing pious fingers at people. Please forgive us Lord for creating this image of your Church which is meant to be Beautiful - the perfection of beauty', and help us to be what you have chosen and created us to be - a people so close to you heart that in us you 'shine forth' in this dark world so that the lost can see that we are different and be drawn to Jesus.
Help us Holy Spirit to reflect the beauty of Jesus for the world to see. Forgive us Lord for our intolerance and for being judgmental, but rather, let us bring your love to those who desperately need it.

Think very carefully about your strategy. Some pastors end up running a building instead of raising disciples! Let’s try to be aware of the very subtle pressures on our time, plans, mission & theology that modern models of consumer Christianity have brought. Jarrod Cooper
"The church that is not jealously protected by mighty intercession and sacrificial labors will before long become the abode of every evil bird and the hiding place for unsuspected corruption. The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray." -A. W. Tozer
Lord, I pray that you will set your church free from those who through ignorance of the truth are leading it in the wrong direction.
