Simple Church

..."Through these simple acts of hospitality and prayer, we joined God's mission in our neighborhood. His mission does not have to be pumped up or hyped. We don't have to start it or defend it. God owns his mission, and He will do His mission through us if we allow Him" Floyd McClung-"Starting a House Church"

It's amazing what God will show us and where He'll lead us when we start thinking along the lines of what He's doing and how we can be involved in His mission rather than "doing something for God"

How often we don't recognize divine appointments because we're looking for the spectacular. Sometimes the "spectacular" happens in the spiritual relm but, appears very ordinary on the outside...

    I like that! Right on. I'm really trying to grasp this myself. It's SO easy to miss the things of the spirit when we're dwelling primarily in the flesh and preoccupied with the carnal things.

  2. Amen Bro! I think the more we talk, think, write etc. within the spiritual relm, the more God reveals it to us. In other words, whichever world we choose to live in will become most real to us. Now that you've read "Waking the Dead" you know exactly what I mean. John says it much more eloquently!
