I thought worship today at 10:30 was awesome. I felt the Spirit heavy upon us. I could have stayed all day. The team led us well and I felt as though I was in the throne room of God.
What is your opinion of worship this morning?

When Quoting Scripture Inflicts Harm

Pastor Ray, your message touched me in a way no other has touched me. That simple question that you asked over and over again is so profound. Who do you say I am! If Jesus is who I say he is than I should live a different life than I am living. I came forward at the end of the service. I want to be totally sold out for Jesus. I want to be married at all times to Jesus, not just when I am around other Christians. Thank you!
The sermon yesterday was one of the most challenging I have heard in a long long time! The video was crushing as well. I still cannot grasp why anyone would go thru that for someone like me! Amazing Love and an AWESOME SAVIOR!
I have to admit to the question asked; "What do people think of me" was a challenge as well. I really do not worry about what people think of me. Never have for the most part (must be that rebel without a clue thing I have perfected over the years). I am responsible to be a good witness in a dark world and I try to be that. Not always successful at it, but I really work/struggle with it. Working with ungodly people at work, they are going to say and think all sorts of things, most of which will be untrue or exaggerated and out of my control as to what they say so I do not worry about it. All I can do is try and be a good witness in how I live my life in front of them and away from them as God knows our hearts.
The other question that was raised in the sermon was "what will they say about me at my funeral?" I am one step ahead of that one! Not having a funeral! :-) But seriously, I have yet to go to a funeral where anyone said anything bad about the dead person. Suddenly they were heroes, righteous, and perfect humans in every way and no matter how they lived, they are in heaven. I remember my own father's funeral where the minister, who had never met my dad (my dad was an awesome father btw) was reassuring everyone that my dad was in heaven. This guy never met my dad, my dad had not been to church since the late 60's I am guessing, and as Ray mentioned in the sermon, my parents felt our religious beliefs are to be a private matter and not shared in public. I wish I was as sure about my dad being in heaven as the minister was. I know my dad believed in God, but not sure where he stood with Jesus. As was also mentioned in Ray’s sermon, JESUS is the way, and no one comes to the father (or heaven) except thru a personal relationship with Jesus, and not on the recommendation of a pastor who never met you.
