Courageous Leadership: Bill Hybels.....


I have been reading this book now for a couple of weeks and every time I turn another page I am intrigued by the amazing gems of wisdom that leap out at me

'The Local church is the hope of the world' is just one comment that he repeats constantly in the first few pages and although I have heard that saying so often, the way he skilfully writes about this just moves me to the brink of tears. How can we as Christians sometimes overlook that fact?

It makes me ponder how highly to I regard my Church, when I get ready to go whether on a Sunday, or during the week, do I actually realise what this place is? THE HOPE OF THE WORLD!! That is a massive deal!!!!

Words cannot explain how important any church is - I feel that we are all worried about the how, what and where and not the why of the church.

We are there to worship our God, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. We're there to honour Him, His majesty, greatness, unconditional love and amazing forgiveness to us all.

It just moves me that I know I can sometimes be so wrapped up in what I must get done while at Church while not necessarily remembering what the Church stands for - I think it is about time I remembered.

Lord You're Holy.......

I have been reflecting in many things this week and a real song of meditation and amazing worship for me has been Karen Wheaton "Lord You're Holy" . I was introduced to it at Kingdom Faith by Jane Urquhart at an amazing women's conference I attended there. The Lyrics are just awesome which is why I wanted to share them with you. Lord You’re holy, Lord You’re holy and we lift You up and magnify Your name I look around and I see, All the works Your hands have made, The awesomeness of You, And how Your love will never fade, Mere words cannot express what I feel inside, I can’t describe Your glory divine, But as a token of my love, This is what I’ll do, I lift my hands and cry, Lord You’re holy, Lord You’re holy and we lift You up and magnify Your name There’s not enough words that I can say, To tell You how much, I appreciate, all the wonderful things, You’ve given me, Your love and kindness, Your tender mercies, It’s my desire, to praise You and to tell You how much,...

Try it on My Own......

I have been learning a new song for a while. It has been a Whitney Houston song called 'Try it on my own" . I wanted to perform it tonight for the first time so I have been really listening to it over the last couple of days. The lyrics are truly stunning. When I first started to learn the song I interpreted it as being a song from a crushed and broken woman getting ready to stand on her own two feet and build her life back from the ashes that it has become because of the pressures of another person. I felt it was a song about reclaiming identity. I connected with the song as a Christian and felt that the words to me meant cutting the ties of the past and having my new identity birthed. However listening to the song again over the past few days I have realised it is not how I want to be as a Christian. "And I am not afraid to try it on my own I don't care if I'm right or wrong I'll live my life the way I feel No matter what I'll keep it real you know Tim...
