I often wonder how blind can Church leaders be when they look at the decline of the Church populous! I mean the answers that I get when I address certain pastors about the “shrinkage” in America’s normally affluent growing churches. It as though they do not want o admit that there is a problem. It seems to me that as long as you look through a “tunnel” you will see only so far to the right or left. However, looking at the broad view of things you will notice a great deal of discouraged and faithless people wandering around aimlessly. They are seeking truth and comfort. Their eyes are open to “change” and their ears are clearly listening for a “call” to the “real” Gospel of Jesus Christ. That gospel that declares the obedience to God and the command to love your neighbor! Pastors are groping in the dark for answers when the answer is so clear to see. Not to overstate this, but the “World is Flat” and the internet has opened up vast communities of knowledge to help in repairing the breach. It is really dismal to read some of the statistics that are being broad casted over the internet. I have dialogued with some wonderful people about this and there is a real line of information that is being formed. Looking into the heart of God you see truth, hope, encouragement, love, and compassion. All these characteristics are placed in our lives that know Him! I pray thae we can all share these characteristics with this hurting world and those that are wandering about looking for what they do not see or hear!

I love people, and my heart cries out to God that we all can reach more for Him. Let’s stop playing church and all the political games that have are attached. Let us be simple and mend the broken hearted together!

My Heart To Yours

   Dennis,
   I Love it! I can’t get past it. I have seen eveyday in my journey called life that people are not looking for programs, beautiful buildings or titles. They are looking for something so real and present and it is so overlooked and missed. It is so simple to see if your eyes have been illuminated (or opened) to see it. I have found and spoken to countless people who will not lay a hand on the door of a Church Building because of the pain the last one left or the division it represents. Man, you get me all fired up! People are hungry for a deep intimate relationship with God and to connect to their proper place. Thier PURPOSE! We must stand as Fathers in the Lord and proclaim thier freedom to thier face. Set the captives free! We must instruct, encourage and inspire them labor for the Harvest is here! Open your eyes and see the world as it truly is. You can’t do that behind closed doors. You are awesome, Dude!
