This city is as open as our mouths and hearts are!

We all want to see great conversions happen in our midst, but what can we learn from Philip’s heart as he listened and obeyed the Spirit of God, reaching out where ever the Spirit sent him?! Just think what would have happened if he had allowed himself to get discouraged, dare we say cynical, when Simon hit his spiritual bumps as a new disciple and needed to be rebuked by Peter . . . he never would have been ready to reach out to the Ethiopian eunuch on the Gaza road!

Let’s make the most of every opportunity to share the precious gift of God’s grace, and then watch God do some great converting here in Central New York.

Thinking about God’s gift of grace makes you appreciate even the number of days he’s given us here on this earth. Are we living our lives to make the most of every opportunity?

“The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.” - Elie Wiesel

It’s time to make a difference and not allow ourselves to slip into indifference!

Building a Great Church - Tried and True

Sometimes we need to be “broken in” to be “Tried and True!”

If we want to build a great church, we need to have great fear–then we will have great joy! The world has an almost Santa-Claus view of God that lacks a deep respect and does not move anyone to honor him with obedient lives! When we fear the right things, then we can be fearless as we hold out the word of life to a hurting world. Consider Psalm 36:1-4Open Link in New Window:

1 An oracle is within my heart
concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:
There is no fear of God
before his eyes.
2 For in his own eyes he flatters himself
too much to detect or hate his sin.
3 The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful;
he has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4 Even on his bed he plots evil;
he commits himself to a sinful course
and does not reject what is wrong.

We reject what is wrong and hate evil because we love the truth and are sensitive to anything that would come in between us and our awesome Father in heaven! The question you must ask yourself: “Are you allowing God to make you Tried and True?!!”
