Welcome

It is Thursday May 22,2008 and I welcome you to the first post in this blog.

A friend of mine who pastors in British Colombia is having some amazing things happen at his church. Through God's goodness he is able to parlay some contacts with people into some serious time of witnessing. He has seen (at my count) at least 10 people who have committed their lives to Christ and went into the waters of Baptism. He has seen God heal people. I stand amazed by what God is doing in him and through him. This post is not to glorify what he (the pastor) has done, but rather show God's work though the Church of Christ.

I must admit that sometimes I am envious about what is going on in his church, wanting some of the same to happen in my church. Always thinking that he has a perfect situation. Today, though he emailed me and stressed some concerns that were happening in his church, and while I take no joy in it, I realize that sometimes with Good also comes bad. He spent much of the night out looking for a runaway and his frustration set in.

Well I know that God has been doing wonderful things there in B.C. and will continue to do so. I guess it is best summed up in the words of my friend in B.C. who wrote this in his email to me

"Yes, when God is being God, Satan continues to be Satan.."

So my friends, let me assure you whether you are going through spiritual Highs or spiritual lows, God is still in control.

As 1 John 4:4 says;
"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."

So don't be worried, do not faint. Be glad that Jesus is there for you in these times of refreshing or these times of dryness.

Keep your Eyes on the Sky... For He is coming soon
