The Beauty Of Unity
A Song of degrees of David
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
Psa 133:3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew] that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
Trusting In The Lord
Isa 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
Isa 40:29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Isa 40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Church As Usual
Do you ever feel that way? As if each service has become church as usual. The opening prayer, times of worship, the message which is usually drafted around the church financial situation, the next building project, or a new move of the spirit. Week after week, month after month, to the point where you wonder if it's live or memorex.
Do you ever find yourself looking back over the years, over all the conferences, all the hype, only to wonder "how did I get here" as your experiencing feelings as if the excitement, joy and zeal has been sucked right out of you?
We all possibly have or will encounter such feelings, realities and seasons. You see, a church being a body of believers should be filled with life, filled with anticipation, filled with zeal, not dead and powerless.
False hopes, false dreams and following them leads people down a path that leads to numbness, rather that joy.
The above comes after a conversation with a close friend.
That Devil Pride
Pride is a funny thing. It creeps up on people, just like it did with Adam and Eve. You see satan was cast out of heaven because of pride. He eventually tempted Adam and Eve. Just a picture to consider.
Pride. I, I, I. Me, me, me. Pride is a funny thing, and it leads to loss, failure, and hinders success.
Pride cometh before a fall, but God honors the humble.

2009, The Year Of Change
We've all been hearing that word change. Through the Presidential campaign, the elections and even as the new President and administration has moved into the White House.
There is much happening not only in this nation, but around the world. Financial problems, banking problems, the stock market, massive foreclosures, major corporations closing and lay offs. Our news and lives seem to be filled with the reality of such.
There is a song that we occasionally sing at church, and part of the words go like this.
2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
