I'm afraid I am one who attend a 'sleeping' church and I know there is a better ministry about 12 miles from us but we find reasons not to drive that distance and just join these lovely people in a nearby church and who show love one to another. I love your music too, and your word of faith that we DO serve a BIG GOD! Thanks for allowing me to be part of your post...PhyllisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233501062120235560.post-61654722371065566212010-05-22T22:42:07.588-04:002010-05-22T22:42:07.588-04:00My husband and I were in a "dead" church...My husband and I were in a "dead" church; the people were stagnant, the pastor was too busy being on a schedule to allow God to move. Now, though, God has brought us to a wonderful, God seeking church. Last week we didn't ever get out of the worship service; the Spirit was flowing too freely and people were being healed and delivered; marriages restored. That's what church is about---God moving...and doing His thang!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233501062120235560.post-66755669765046911262010-05-18T16:47:47.605-04:002010-05-18T16:47:47.605-04:00We have noticed that when we slow down the pace of...We have noticed that when we slow down the pace of our services, instead of being on a real tight time constraint, and practice the old idea of "waiting on God", there has been a marked change in the response of the people to the presence of God. This also seems to break "habitual" worship and prompts the congregation to turn off the cares that beset them.When we determined we would wait for our people to come into one accord and welcome the Holy Spirit in praise and worship, services are no longer routine. We have seen a freshness return to our services and an expectation of "something" from God. That's an exciting change!Sister Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164733435785230336noreply@blogger.com
