On Display

As I'm about to get ready for church it occurs me, this day is needed all the more.

On this #effectiveSunday, this is the day that we need to lay down the disputes, arguments and the "clicks" among us and come together as the body of Christ. This is the day to welcome and love those around us; that they would not feel as an outsider, frustrated and bothered by others.

If a family can display publicly what is  a reflection of what transpires at home, how much more, does the church display to the world that happenings of the body of Christ when we come together to worship God and hear the teaching of the Word of God.

This is not who we are.
This is not how we want to be known.
This is not what God called us to be.
This is not the witness that we want to display.
We need a drastic move of God and quickly.

Pray this #effectiveSunday, that we would indeed see the hand of God move in our midst. May our churches be an example of the love of Christ and the love of our neighbor as we come together as imperfect people to lift up the name of a perfect God and Father. Pray for the miraculous in our communities; that the church would be a place of resource and restoration whereby many would to come to the saving and transforming power of Christ and the blood that was shed on the Cross for the sins of us all.

God, we need your help.
For this life is not our own,
Nor can we live it on our own.
Only through your grace and power.
And for your Glory.
