Listen

Listen

People are hurting in the shadows of your church.

Listen

People really don't care how cool your church is

Listen

Do you hear them.... Crying?

No? Turn down your Church programs...... Now do you hear them?

Listen

There are people in your Church who feel beat up because they don't feel like they can measure up to what you are beating them down with.

A whisper.... vaguely asking questions

Questioning God

Questioning life

Can you hear them?

Maybe you cant because they don't ask you... they are afraid to question you. So they ask God.

They might be mad at God... but even He knows that is taboo in a building with his name on it.

People need God

Did you know that?

Not YOU

God

Not your doctrine

God

Listen............. Shut the door of your church, just for a while and see what God is doing in other places that you would not be caught in.

He is under the bridge with a homeless person

He is at a bar watching them have fun, while you judge them for going.

He is holding the hand of a Muslim, Christian and a Buddhist because he loves them all.

He is at the football game... yep on a Sunday!

He is in Arkansas

New York City

Africa

Small towns

Churches

Temples

Honky Tonks

At a rich person's house

A Poor persons house

A card board box

He is at Wal - Mart

He is with you

Listen.. Shhhh...

Do you hear Him?

I asked Jesus

Well, my negitive attitude has redndered me some what i call "begging a prayer".

The other morning i was leaving work and I asked Jesus this question,

"Lord please show me waht you are doing at this point in life through me!!"

Well, He did. I am working at a large grocery store chain, at night, in the bakery. I took the job because we need the money.

God gave me this job for other additional reasons..... Devine appointments.

I walked into the bakery and met a nice kid about the age of my oldest son. It ends up, that I have known him for several years. he is a kid (young man) that has had what i would consider, a tough life. I asked Jesus to help me connect with Him. QWe did. Then last night, he was telling me how close he was to his Grandma.

I asked him a few questions about her, and it turns out that I had the opportunity of preaching at her funeral.

I remember proclaiming the Gospel, and his Grandma's sister came to Christ. He thought about it and we were both amazed at this "small world".

So, I asked Jesus another question. "jesus, please dont let me screw this up!"

God is good and faithfull even when we are bad and faithless.

Just a Thought.....
