Easter Reflections.(so proud of my mates today)

I have been watching the many and varied reports of Good Friday worship around Facebook - mainly, and as I sit here and listen to God music and reflect upon the day, its just been a good day.

I love seeing the various displays and ministry visuals used by great ministers and officers doing their very best to get people focused on Jesus.

We all try hard at this, the truth is, if our church people dont enter in, dont grasp what is in their hands and in their church, then there is precious little that can be done to assist them.

I am not so much saying this about myself as much as I am about some of my friends in ministry... but I wonder if our churches really realise how blessed they are having some of these fine leaders as their leaders, appointed and assigned by God to that church ?

I look at various attempts today to help our congregations grapple with Easter truth, and a lot of effort was put in by Officers, Pastors and leaders...and I say well done. (especially you Rob Evans, what a legend you are)

Good Friday comes to a close, and I am about to hit the cot, for some much needed sleep.... today I worshipped and tried to serve The Lord Jesus Christ, with all my heart... with all my ability, ...

I visited my brother in hospital,

sat down and chilled with my family,

played with my precious dog..

drank coffee and ate hot cross buns...and life is pretty good isnt it ?

and yet for many there is no hope, and the message was lost today on countless thousands of people in our country.

Many Christians today ignored the worship bit and just didnt get to church, some didnt even think about Jesus for one minute.... and of course hundreds of thousands gathered in churches all around the world to once again worship King Jesus.

 

another easter will be over soon.... will He ( Jesus ) mean anything at all to you this year ?

Will He affect you in any way shape or form ? or will easter just mean another long weekend break from work ?

 

Well Easter Sunday 2014 still awaits you...get to church, worship Him.

He died for us, and rose back to life for us...for you !!!! for me !!!!

and thats just awesome.

.........................................................................................................................................................................

and finally, to all my Officer colleagues and ministry leader friends, well done for all you attempted to do today in ministry, in calling Gods people to focus on Jesus.. well done for the hard work, for the hours of prep and running around trying to get that perfect prop to help, for the message you preached and sweated over... for praying it through and listening out for Gods heart for your specific church and ministry... well done for being faithful, well done for the sleepless nights, getting to your church before everyone else does to make sure it is just right... and then cleaning up after everyone has gone home....

I know He called us,

but thanks for all you do in His name.

Have a blessed Easter Sunday. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What got us here, will not get us there.

I have been thinking about the this for sometime now. We as TSA have come along way, but yet...there is a long way yet to go, and everything we have done up until now, has given us the results we now have. It's insanity to think, that if we keep doing the things we have already done, that we will get a different result. All that we have done so far, in previous weeks, months and years and even decades have given us the results we are seeing right now. If we think for one moment that things are going to change, by doing the things the same way as we have already done them, then there may be a need for seeing a therapist. do things the same way, get the same result. change the way you do things, get a different result. the problem with this, is ..... that many think everything is honky dory....all "A OK".... and that's where the real bottle neck actually is. Because the truth is, (and many don't want to acknowledge the truth), that we are not winnin...

Salvo style.... God is here.

For me these days, life is super busy. I used to think I was busy before, but now...my goodness. Now, so that it's clear, I am happy being busy with the Kingdom stuff, and would never cope if I was blatantly bored in ministry, I am simply not wired in such a way. Life is good. My ministry is good. My God is good. For those of my readers who think, that maybe, I think I have arrived..... wash your mouths out...there is no way I think that, last week my head was in such a spin, I literally had to walk out the office and go home. I went for a walk to clear my head and got drenched when it started raining, and it was really good for me... I gained perspective and focus and the next day in the office was a little more sober. It's a busy place and much is going on.... it does pose questions for me, which over time I will seek clarity from the senior leaders here....and I guess where needed, I will tweak where and when I can. in the meantime, I am just doing what I feel...

Psychics

Went onto a Facebook thread this week that involved people seeking a psychic for whatever reason. I understand that the world is seeking answers,  and I have the answer but the answer I have people don't want to seek. VERY  FRUSTRATING . now as bad as it all is, what makes it worse, WAY WORSE...is that some of the people in our church were on there making appointments.   Now, before you throw your hands up in the air and ask what kind of church this actually is... we run a new church here at Craigieburn and it has loads of new baby Christians, and many also, who are just here checking things out...not committed to Christ yet, that's part of the journey of planting a Church..... so it is expected that there will always be people who are on various stages of growth. If you are reading this..and you have been doing this psychic thing... you don't need to do it, you need to seek Jesus and His Holy Spirit, it will be better than anything and everything else yo...
