wow... has it been 4 months since my last post?! my sincere apologies...
recent thoughts...
we often think of ministry as "building" things... building people, building ministries... but what if God wants us to help with the "Re-Building"...
What if.... in order for the new things to be built... the old things have to torn down first?
how would we feel if our job is to let God "demolish" the un-Godly stuff, so God can prepare His Bride to be ready and mature?
what if we were just asked to stay out of His way...
But will that look to others as if i've failed? What will other's think of me? What about the ministry that *I* have tried so hard to build?!
die, pride, die.
... it just doesn't feel very good to my flesh at the moment. I guess dying is never pleasant...
Father, please hasten the "reconstruction" time... that the flesh will die quickly... that the enemy's strongholds will be struct down and burned away... so that You may have the pure and perfect Bride.
