'GO' Where They Are

WHAT WOULD YOU DO MY DEAR FELLOW CHRISTIAN, PASTOR, & SERVANT OF GOD...
if the owner of a local bar calls you and asks ya to start a church there (on its off-hours)?
Now, before you quickly answer... may I gently encourage you that this is something to seriously pray to God about. FOR YOU SEE-
In God's Presence is where His thoughts and direction is; so that we may know how to proceed.
Secondly; recall the last beckoning of Jesus while still walking this earth:
‘GO!’ NOT wait for those who do not know Jesus as their Savior (who are walking a life of sin and definite bondage) to come to you or in a church building!

NO!
He said: ‘GO!’
We, as His Children...are all responsible for those we know who need Him!
May our Heavenly Father see us bringing  the HOPE & LIFE that is found in Christ Jesus to their door!
Back to my original question about starting a church in a bar.
Well, my friends did pray. They dug deep into God’s Word, sought godly advice... and knew the Lord is leading them to at least take one-step-at-a-time.
They live in a small community; and this particular bar has a reputation to say it nicely.
Yet, the dear owner has a HUNGER- and also wants others to be affected by what she sees in our friends; so she asked them to start this church.
I can’t help but think; someone has been praying for her and those that come to her establishment.
The LIGHT is coming to them!
A breakthrough... an answer to all of life’s questions.
Hallelujah!
Yet... oh there seems to always be a YET!
There are those in the community—in the faith that don’t get why our friends are doing this.
It simply freaks them out!
I am concerned that ignorance has crept into the Church of Jesus Christ on how the Gospel is to ‘GO-OUT’ into all the world.  Matthew 9:37-38 “Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
This not only needs to be preached, but enacted upon. It shows what is in the heart of God’s people when it comes to share God’s Love to the lost.
Every 3 seconds a person dies- a soul plunged into separation from God (which is hell).
One day; as we all stand before the Throne of God- we will see the souls that were entrusted to us to lead to Christ.

Will they turn to us as they are cast into hell asking; “Why didn’t you tell me?”
I hope and pray God’s Love for others will grow in all who know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. So much so, that nothing will be able to stop us from GOING to places and people sharing His Love, Salvation and deliverance.

FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES

7 FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES Out of desperation creativity is birthed. I hope to add on to this post through the years. Churches love to give to dad's on Father's Day; sometimes this can be redundant and or expensive. A few short years ago we stepped out of the Evangelistic & Pioneer work to take a small church that is just great and out of the box. So, of course budget is minimal and I am 'it' when it comes to holiday decor and gifting ideas & doing them. The 4 gifts that my family and I put together are as follows:                       POPCORN/CANDY/MOVIE  We placed microwave popcorn, candy bar and a special Father's Day poem inside a popcorn bag.  FRAMED ART FROM LOCAL ARTIST/MINISTER  (Rev. Paul Gray)  MADE THIS INTO A FRAME & ADDED A PEN.                       ...

BRINGING PEACE TO YOUR HUSBAND

   Two posts (blogs) ago I said I would continue to look at attaining true peace in our lives. [Sweet Tranquility] Then I promised you that I would continue to expound on having this peace spread through out our home beginning with ‘we’ ladies being the vessel of peace for our husbands.  As I have prayed over this, studied it in God’s Word and in other resources for quite awhile…my ending prognosis is that this study could continue for decades! Peace ; we pray for peace, it's our New Years Resolutions ...it is a salutation in most countries. Yet, everywhere we turn we only observe fruits of turmoil (opposite of peace).  In three thousand  three hundred and fifty years between 1500 B.C. and 1850 A.D. there were only 286 years spent without a war taking place on the globe somewhere. That's thirteen years of war for every year of peace. At that same period of time eight thousand peace treaties were broken.  Today;  2 million coup...

Living the Dream

I have probably one of the most 'spiritual' face book home pages around. My friends post scriptural banners, quotes, prayer requests & praises . I usually get a great up-lift reading my face book. Recently, it seemed many were writing about 'Dreams'. One really jumped out; basically they were challenging the thought (I believe fact) dreams are every day; what we are experiencing today, which is our family, friends, experiences,work, ministry and prayer times. I have always been a dreamer since I was a little girl. When I was little I loved the Walton's-needless to  say my dream then (get this now): was to be a writer, movie star, have 7 kids and live in a big house in the country. Uh huh...yup; unrealistic; but I sure loved the Walton's. Then, when I turned 12 yrs. old at church camp the Lord called me into the Mission Field. When I turned 14 yrs. old, the Lord gave me a heart for India; and was blessed with the opportunity of going there as well. ...
