He won't allow you to have more weight than you can handle right now. He's promised that. But He will give you something heavier than you lifted before, so you can become more powerful in Him than you've ever been before. http://gospel.com/blog/index.php/2009/10/26/faces-of-the-abandoned-church/ 2009-10-28T10:49:41-05:00 Have you ever seen an abandoned church? How did it make you feel? Some thoughts on abandoned "sacred space." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/the-sandcastle-syndrome-5762 2009-09-09T16:15:04-05:00 Jesus is inviting us to focus what we have on something that will last forever - building His church. Even our Christian work could be building our own kingdom...which won't last. You see, that church is not about an actual physical building. It's about reaching the lost people He died for; adding them to His family. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/waiting-for-tomorrow-s-gift-5726 2009-09-09T14:39:58-05:00 When you finally see what God is putting together behind closed doors for you, you're going to be forever grateful. You're going to love it. But for now, you may hear the hammering, but you won't be able to see what He's working on. Will you, as David said, "Wait patiently on the Lord"? http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%203:9&version=NIV 2009-08-19T17:53:33-05:00 Believers are described as "God's buildings"--projects that God is building and developing in accordance with His divine blueprint. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/One-Stone-at-a-Time-5068 2008-08-06T15:15:25-05:00 I think we've got something to learn from an Indian father two generations ago. He knew that he could not build a home quickly. He just added a little bit to it each day. Well, that's the way we should all build our home, our family, adding one more stone today, and then again tomorrow, and the day after that. And one day, you will be able to stand back and admire what God and you built together, one stone, one day at a time. http://churchgrowth.org/cgi-cg/webstore/ec.cgi?page=admin.html 2007-11-07T17:13:21-05:00 Resources to help organize your new or existing church, build or renovate, manage church business and financial affairs (including pastoral compensation), develop biblical & legal church policies, ministry descriptions, screening/recruiting volunteers, create positive publicity for your church. http://churchgrowth.org/cgi-cg/webstore/ec.cgi?page=admin.html&frame=yes&cart_id=p1194472200_183 2007-11-07T17:02:48-05:00 Resources to help organize your new or existing church, build or renovate, manage church business and financial affairs (including pastoral compensation), develop biblical & legal church policies, ministry descriptions, screening/recruiting volunteers, create positive publicity for your church.
