So, here we are at the end of the week and I promised (and failed) to have something for you on Friday. Well, it was date night, so Mrs Ogre (don't tell her I called her that, please) and I went to visit a young girl in our church at the hospital. She was hit by a car while she was riding her bike (hit and run, boy that makes me mad!). She was unconscious and her mother and aunt were very nice to me and the Mrs.. Even though the mom was in an incredibly painful/stressful situation- she really seemed to appreciate our coming. I left the bible in the car for this one. I was at the same time trying to show a lifestyle witness (I gagged a little just typing that) and also doing ministry as a "team" with my wife. I just thought that the bible would have made her a spectator. I didn't want to come off as the Holy Roller and start in with some King James. I just wanted me and my wife to "love on" this woman and her daughter. I was very very very proud of the Mrs. as I sat back and watched one mother minister to another mother with gentleness, understanding, and genuine Christ-like magnetism. I have been praying for the young girl non-stop for 3 days. Please do so too. We also went out to dinner, and then to a weight loss orientation with some gals from the church. I will let you know how being the only male in this obviously female oriented class works out. If nothing else it is a good chance for me and my Honey to do something together.
I am going to save Fridays (ok the end of the week) for a mix of stuff and random "check this out"s. Here we go.....(for those as un-savvy as i was 2 weeks ago- the red words are links that you can click on to view videos and other added information, yw)
I came across this at the Living Waters website that is followed at the bottom of this page. I really like how Ray Comfort and his team are always trying to "meet the people where they are at". I especially like the fact that they always show up for that meeting with the truth.
Have you ever been to church and wondered what the "presentation had to do with God, or Jesus, or ANYTHING!?
Here is more proof for why we should do little else but preach and teach and fellowship on Sunday mornings. Unless of course you are a travelling missionary with the circus (just kidding, just stick with the Bible and teaching it). Check out the "We are the branches" mural in the top of the screen, when the camera zooms in.
John 15:5
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit.
....what kind of fruit were these people going for? BTW, that landing mat was in the wrong place! There was no chance that young lady was going to land on the first half of that thing. What did all the unsaved people at that event think when that happened? The Bible does not need all this carnival clown stuff! And listen up Kensington Community Church in Troy, MI...Jesus doesn't need any Boom Boom Pow. Seriously, I don't care how much you Christianize the world it is still that which we should not love. Let's take a look at the lyrics from this song....Are you kidding me? At your church people? Stop it, before the world starts laughing AGAIN.
I just had a major issue with blogging. I exited out of the this post after I added about 1 hour from this point(lost it all, very frustrated). Sorry folks, but I have a family and I gotta go. I will add the rest of this on Monday.
Go to church and participate this Sunday. Remember you are there to worship Him, not to "get something out of it".
