What have we really got to lose? We know that we have a relationship with God and what a difference He has made in our lives and we see all these people desperately searching for answers in life and we still don’t tell them about God. What are we afraid of are we afraid people won’t like us anymore? Well that hasn’t always been my experience. We sort of skirt around things sometimes in the fear of treading on peoples toes. We may tell them a little bit about church and how good it is, and that we have lots of great friends there. We might even tell them that we pray, but do we tell them that they too can have an experience of, and a relationship with God? Do we tell them that we were created to worship and have a relationship with Him and that He can forgive us ALL of the wrong things we have done, take away the guilt and give us a brand new life? We need to tell people the gospel pure and simple, with no added extras and with nothing taken away. It’s not easy I know because people lives are at stake, but don’t we really want people to become followers of a loving Jesus who cares so much for us that He died for us and longs to have and relationship with us. He has a plan for each one of us and so many people are missing out on that plan just because we Christians don’t tell. Don’t be afraid, be bold, I struggle too to come straight out with it, but I really wish I would be more honest with people, and God will do the rest, all we have to do it tell.

We were reminded on Sunday in the message, about the importance of prayer. I think that everyone in a time of trouble or danger has prayed or hoped that there is someone out there listening to their cry for help. Well we as Christians should realise what an important tool it is that God, by His Holy Spirit has given us. Every prayer is heard by God, we may not always get the answer that we want, or expect, but God hears our every prayer. Our every word said to Him, with the right heart, is important to Him. He is listening and our prayers can have a great effect on our lives, on our environment, our town and the world. Do not underestimate what we can do through prayer. We can change things, we can turn around the values of this country, we can influence change in this area with the power of prayer. We forget how powerful God is and we also have so many distractions that stop us from spending time presenting our requests and worship to God. It makes an enormous difference to our lives, all of us who do pray know how much better we feel having spent time communicating with God. Let’s pray more then we can be more effective in what we do and say. If anyone wants us to pray for them don’t hesitate to contact us.

In the bible noah was asked to build something a boat.

There were not really any others around or much water and he had never built a boat before, neither was he a trained zoo keeper but he ended up as one.

The fact is god called him and therefore equipped him with everything he needed,

people laughed but he just carried on doing what he had to do.

I wonder if people give up so easily these days because they don’t know what they are called to so when something does not suit they move on because it has no hold on them.

I want to do only what i am called to do but this means having a right relationship with god and knowing that i’m in things for the right reasons.

were are the noah’s out there i wonder?

Are you one?
