Blog posting, Sept 25, 2011

This week’s hot topic posting will be…“When you’re visiting churches, you should be looking for...”


MANY PEOPLE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CHURCH SPEND THEIR LIVES GOING FROM PLACE TO PLACE, LOOKING TO FIND ANSWERS TOWARDS HAVING A MORE SATISFYING SPIRITUAL LIFE. SOME ARE LOOKING FOR ANYBODY THAT CAN HELP THEM FIND SOLUTIONS FROM THEIR PROBLEMS. OTHERS ARE UNSATISFIED WITH THE WAY A FORMER CHURCH, DENOMINATION OR RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY TREATED THEM. MANY DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY’RE SEARCHING FOR.

WHATEVER THE REASON, WHEN IT’S TIME TO FIND A CHURCH HOME, THEY’RE THINGS YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR…

MORE THAN JUST THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING OR THE AGE OF THE STRUCTURE OR EVEN THE RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION, IF YOU’RE TRYING TO JOIN A LOCAL CHURCH, THE 1ST THING YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF IS THIS:  IF THE CONGREGATION YOU ARE VISITING TODAY IS A HEALTHY CHURCH OR IS IT A PLACE TO BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS …

ON TUESDAY, SEPT 27, I’LL TELL YOU THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HEALTHY CHURCH AND ONE THAT CAN BE MORE OF A MONSTER THAN THE LAST PLACE YOU LEFT…

ON WEDNESDAY, SEPT 29, WE’LL DISCUSS THE TYPES OF BENEFITS OF A HEALTHY CHURCH AND A NON-HEALTHY ONE…

ON FRIDAY, SEPT 31, WE’LL LOOK AT THE BEGINNINGS OF THE 1ST  EARLY CHURCH IN THE AGE OF THE APOSTLES, AND SEE WHAT THINGS THEY HAD IN COMMON WITH THE CHURCHES TODAY, AND EVEN SOME THINGS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT…

AFTER THAT I’LL SHARE THE ROLE OF THE CHURCH, WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT AND WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT…

AS ALWAYS, I’LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO ANY COMMENTS YOU HAVE THAT WE CAN DISCUSS…

SEE YOU THEN, AND TELL OTHERS!

IN HIS SERVICE,

AL

HAVE YOU BEEN POISONED?

How you can tell when you’ve been poisoned . Your actions and attitudes are toxic ! Toxic thoughts lead to toxic actions. Toxic thinking poisons others around us. Eventually toxic thinking leads to death (dreams). Watch out that the toxics around you don’t get inside you . How do you counteract toxicity? Speaking, thinking and acting positive activates life in you, around you, and gives life (energy) to others.

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...
