Great post and a timely reminder that as we are consumed by the love, wisdom, teachings of God it should produce a fruit of action. Sometimes we sit like big, fat sponges and soak it all up but there should be an overflow onto the lives of others. Maybe God will come and give us a big squeeze! lol

My faith has been challenged when half of our church left (for no given reason) to join another more 'successful' one across the city. Key leaders who understood biblical principles of how to leave a church didn't even discuss it with us.
We are left with a small number of people - most are brand-new Christians, some are disheartened and some are ready to give their all to our outreach of the local community. I feel in the dark but am so aware of the fact that God's in control. I BELIEVE in God's goodness and power and I guess I'm just struggling to UNDERSTAND what's going on at the moment.

I can totally relate to that and right now I needed the encouragement to keep going! The 'wolf' of depression has been nipping at my heels.

I'd like to change my mouth - it always seems to get me in trouble!
