A new beginning....

I attened for the very first time children's church. And might I say that was most exciting time of my life. The whole time I could not stop smiling. These children were so inocent and not worried about who was around them praising the Lord a certain way. Dancing around with arms raised and yelling at the top of their lungs how much they loved the Lord. It is very sad to say that we as older Christians don't show that entheusiasm as the children do! Shame on US!


On another note. In John Chapter 10 God showed me something that I believe we all need to adhere to. Jesus was speaking a parable about the door of the sheep and one verse stuck out.

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
(Joh 10:3)

"he calleth his own sheep by name"

Jesus is saying that the relationship that we should have with believers is to know their names. How many times have you met new Christians and minutes later forget their name. I have had multitudes. The most recent one was yesterday morning. I was thinking about how I could remember their names better and I could look like a moron and write their names down in front of them. Or I could just sit down with them for 30 minutes or and hour to get to know them better! In a way just going up and introducing myself and sitting down reminds me of the Walmart greeter. We as Christians need to do better than Walmart and get to know these people and hopefully draw them back to a real church with real Jesus and the real Word of God!
