10 Things That I Would Love to Hear More in the Church
Last week, I wrote about 10 phrases I would like to never hear in the church again and suggested we have a funeral for them. This week, I want to focus on the positive! Our staff contributed to this list of ten things I would love to hear more in the church. Enjoy!
- God is good all the time. All the time, God is good!
- I have decided to follow Jesus.
- I am ready and eager to take the next step in my discipleship journey.
- Let us trust the Lord. What does the Lord want us to do? Let us pray and seek the Lord.
- Are you new? Would you like to join me?
- Tell me more about tithing! How can I give to the Lord?
- How can I help? Tell me when, where, and how and I will be there!
- Way to go! You are doing a great job!
- Why don’t you take my spot!
- What are we going to do with all these extra volunteers!
What are your ten? I would love to be the kind of church known for being the most encouraging one in town! The more positive our environment, the greater God’s work can go forward! Let me read a prayer from the book of Numbers to you in closing.
“The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24)
“The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24)
