SEEKING AFTER PERFECTION IN AN IMPERFECT WORLD

If you're looking for the perfect church, prepare to be disappointed! Even if it was perfect, it probably wouldn't be after you joined! Grocho Marx said that he’d never join any organization that accepted him as a member. This is one of the biggest excuses why people don’t join a local church. They feel the people in leadership are hypocrites. But in truth, there are no perfect people inside nor outside of church. The ministry leadership are regular people trying their best to follow after Christ. That doesn’t mean that we should reject them when they make mistakes. No one on the earth is 100% perfect. There was only one who was, and now He waits for us in heaven. We’ll only reach perfection when He takes us home. The ones who point their fingers at pastors and leaders are themselves full of sinful flesh, just like those in leadership. I say it again for emphasis; no one is perfect.
We cannot live this life without the power of the Holy Ghost residing inside our reborn spirits. We need to be studying our Bibles daily. We need to be in constant communication with a loving God for his empowerment on our lives. We need both the constant washing of the Word in us, and the power of His Spirit leading us. When I take a shower, I use both shower gel and water. I cannot be clean without both.

My experience at PODD for Men’s Fellowship

Being at the PODD felt like being at home, but I’m all grown up now . Don’t get me wrong. I loved the praise and worship music team. They really brought us into the presence of God. I loved rejoining with my brothers in Christ. It was good greeting my former pastor and friend. It’s felt good remembering all of the good times, and the not so good times we had there. But I’m not supposed to remain there. Now I belong to a new church, and a new body of believers. Eventually, I had to leave for my new home , and be with my new family .

Dealing with marital differences

I find the more I talk to people, the more they tell me the number one thing that is frustrating them in marriage, they don’t understand their spouse . Men don’t understand women, women don’t understand men. Being around women most of the time has given me some insight on how they think, how they feel, and how they react to situations. Guess what guys? God made them different from us. But thank God, He gives us the blueprint to help us, the Bible. My suggestion is this: Whenever you feel really frustrated or anxious about your wife’s behavior and her attitude, take your Bible and go into your prayer closet. Pray this prayer, “Father God, please change ME to deal with my wife in a way that honors you”. Right now, I probably lost 99% of you with that prayer. I know you would rather be like James and John and ask the Lord to rain down fire on your wife’s head. Maybe then she would submit herself to your leadership. But trust me on this. If you are truly seeking God’s will for your life, y...
