The Day of Pentecost

The Day of Pentecost as recorded in Acts 2 was one of the most important events to happen in the history of humanity. It was the day in which God fulfilled His promise to pour out His Spirit on all flesh, or, as many as will receive Him. It was the day in which God was able to do with His church what He wanted to do with Israel. God gave all believers the right and the ability to be a kingdom of priests and prophets for His glory. Among other things, this marks the day, or the event, where God inaugerated His church and began the greatest move to save humanity and establish His Kingdom on the earth. These are the last days, and this is thought by most Bible scholars to be the Latter Rain, or the days in which God is pouring out His Spirit liberally to prepare for His return.

And yet, as prophecied in the scriptures, these days have also been days where believers are falling away. The divide between good and evil is both being blurred and defined. The war between satan and Christians is growing more and more intense. In this country, we are moving away from God rather than towards Him. Even the church in America (in general) is growing luke warm. God! We need another Pentecost! We need one more outpouring of the Spirit of God. We need the revival fires to burn in America once again. Shake us Lord! Move us! Once more show us your glory and wake up your lazy, sleeping church.

Board Meeting tonight. Never a problem. Christians CAN work well together.
Did some visiting yesterday. Enjoyed it. Need to do more.
We need more discipleship and relationship building opportunities in our church.
We need to accept and like God's desire to stretch our faith and cause us to grow. Anyone know first hand what I'm talking about? Or, should I say, Is there anyone who doesn't know what I am talking about?

I'm Back, I think.

Wow, I haven't updated this since December. Shame on me. Now I am sure that I have no readers. This will be like starting all over again.
