Light

 When it seems the darkness of this world will overwhelm you.  Remember there is a light within you.  Let that light shine and send the darkness back into the shadows

The problem with Church

 The problem with many churches these days.  Is that they get so wrapped up in keeping with tradition that they are afraid to try anything new.  They get stuck in doing things the way they have always done they.  That they shut out the younger generation in fear that they will disrupt their nice little system.   Or the let the younger generation in but keep them in the background.  Never letting them join committees,  or suggest new ideas.

Don't Leave Me Now

 If you leave me now

You'll take away the very heart of me

Please don't  go

If you leave me now

You'll leave me 

Depressed 

Lonely 

Dying inside 

Please don't leave

I know I've made mistakes 

I am sorry for what I've down

I've hurt you I know

You've wanted to leave

I wouldn't have played you if you did

Here I am a broken man

Asking you for help

Help me put together the brokenness

Help me be whole again

I want to start over

I want to make things right

I need your help to do that

I know I don't deserve another chance 

But please don't leave

When I need you most

Together we can be a family again 

Together we can be happy again 

Please help me

Be who I once was

And escape this beast I have become

Grow

 When a person fails to grow with the changing of the times. The become old,worn out, and obsolete.   The same is with the church of God.   The church can preach the true world of God and still relevant.   But to be they need to embrace a new approach to presenting it.  Or each incoming generation will find it old fashioned and useless.

Each generation has their on sets of needs, both spiritual.  Mental,  emotional,  and physical.   If the church falls behind at meeting these needs to the best of the abilities God gave them.  The church will fail to gain new members and eventually fall.

The Church

 When Jesus was here on Earth he teached and paled around with drunk, tax collectors, fishermen, prostitutes,  and others of life's rejects at the time.  He taught and changed each and everyone of their lives.

Today however how many churches out there would be so open to such as those. Or even worse cases.  How many churches would gladly open there doors and let such people inside.

If your answer is no.  Is your church truly following the example set by our Lord and Savior. 

Outreach is great and an amazing way to reach those who can't get to a church building for one reason or another

A little story about my Grandfather I try to live my life by as well

There was a young man who came to our church.  Who spent his Saturday night playing music in bars all over the place.  On Sunday morning he would show up to church smelling like beer .  My Grandfather never told him to go home and get cleaned up.  My Grandfather just handed him a bulletin,  to him glad he was there, and so him to a pew.

Because of that kindness the young man later became a full member of your church.

An example my Grandfather set.  That I try to follow today.

Kindness is how you defeat the evil in the world.  God and Jesus proved it.  My Grandfather proved it.  As Christians we  must take up the call.  We must prove it to the world at large
