Careful what we say

There was a young wife, mom of 20 month old, and a step mom to a twelve year old in my office yesterday, while working on some things for her we were having some casually conversation and she was talking about their experience with a new church that they had visited last Sunday and she said a lady came up to her after the service and said " you know we have another service for you and the children". This young mom immediately made up her mind well we will find a another church for next week. She said I am sure that she did not want it to come across or sound the way that it did. She then went on to sayto herself that we will just go somewhere else.


The point is we need to be careful how and what we say. Because that one simple statement made that mom feel unwelcome and she said that she would not go back. Everyone needs a place to worship no matter how young or old. This precious little girl can not go to church with out her Mom and her mom with out her.


This family also needs your prayers she is going through some hard times and things are starting slowly but surely to make a change. The thing is she has and keeps on pushing even when she is push down or backwards each time. She just needs our prayers that she will continue to have the strength to continue this and that she will continue to see what God is doing for her and her family.

Learning to Witness

Good Morning. Hope everyone is doing well today.

Ever feel so close to God that you feel as if you are sitting in his lap. Over this last weekend and the first of this week that is how I feel. I have back that feeling when I first became a born again Christian- saved only by Gods grace. I have had a wonderful couple of weeks, God has blessed me with many blessings as he always does these just have been more visible. My husband and I have communicated more, have that feeling back stronger (like when we first started dating), seen God working in my family and friends lives.

One thing that we need to always remember is that God calls us to witness. We have to witness in many different ways. That can be in the form of a simple smile, a soft hello, talking to someone about your day, listening to someone’s story of there day, having that soft hug, that shoulder to let someone cry on, or talking to someone about Jesus. These are just to name a few. I have been taught something over the past couple of months, that being we always need to be ready to witness. This can be done any many ways and we have to get out of our comfort zone of church and mix with the sinners. Lets face it most of the people in your church are saved, your worldly people are not and they are in many different places. Of course you must be careful were you go to witness because you don’t want to give someone the wrong impression of your Godly character by like going to the bar or something like that, but I truly believe that you can go to someone’s house and visit if there are people there that you know are sinners, for example. Lets face it we all were sinners at one time and someone share GOD with us.

Let’s all make a commitment to witness this week.
