KEEP YOUR CHURCH DOORS OPEN

Keep Your Church Doors Open
I believe in the United States that we need to keep our church doors open and ready to receive. There are many stories of 600 members and 150 attend, 10 members and 1 attend. I believe the day is near at hand that God will wrap everything up. I believe the day is near that people in our Nation will need a place to fall on their knees and pray. I want the doors at our local church to be open and receive these folks.
As a pastor I encourage you to “faint not in well doing.” More times than I want to tell I’ve said Lord if someone else can do better take this church off my heart. His response has been to lift me up and encourage me to continue to love those he has entrusted to me.
Ministers dream of a big church and big numbers and this is wonderful but God needs someone to love any church he leads you to regards of the size or growth at hand. I have been blessed to pastor churches that provided for my financial needs and church’s that are not able. All of these churches provided for my spiritual needs and were my family. All churches need a shepherd to nourish them and help them grow in the Lord.
I find there are people with needs wherever I am and I want to be able to prepare hearts and lives to make it to heaven. Who knows the person you pastor may be your pastor someday. They need you now to mold them with the word of God and teach them love, integrity, and yielding to the Spirit of God as directed.
My State Bishop once said he has no problem finding ministers but he has trouble having enough “large church’s” to send them. One Bishop said he had several people come up to him and tell him God told them to go to a particular church. He said the only problem was God had not shared that with him.
Pastor, minister, member keep those doors open, clean up the house of God so when God fills it you will be ready and waiting for them to join with you and worship God together.
My mother attends a church that is much larger than where I pastor and they were just falling apart. We prayed for them and they continued to seek God and all of a sudden the house was full again. She said I don’t know where they all came from but they jumped in started doing things and said they had been looking for a church like this.
I’m hanging in there, God is in control. We American’s have forgotten how much we are blessed by God and just how much we need him. Remember I said it here on Surfing with Jesus. Our day will come shortly that we will want him and find ourselves back in the house of God searching and seeking for his will not ours.

I Don't Know What to Write 61903122010

I Don’t Know What to Write
Lord, I need your inspiration right now to share your word and feed hungry souls. Teach me thy way oh Lord, touch me with your hand, and lead me with your spirit I pray. Do you remember the last time you just didn’t know what to say, do, or write? We all have been here as I am today and that’s when God reaches down and gives us what we have need of.
Wow! I feel the touch of his hands so kind and tender; he’s leading me in paths that I must trod. I have no fear when Jesus walks beside me for I’m sheltered in the arms of God. So let the storms rage high, the dark clouds rise they don’t worry me. Join me in singing this wonderful song
Here are the lyrics to “Sheltered in the Arms of God” by Dottie Rambo – words that now have come to completion for her:
I feel the touch of hands so kind and gentle,
They're leading me in paths that I must trod;
I have no fear when Jesus walks beside me,
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.
So let the storms rage high, the dark clouds rise,
They won't worry me for I'm sheltered safe within the arms of God;
He walks with me and naught of Earth can harm me,
Sheltered safe within the arms of God.
Soon I shall hear the call from Heaven's portals,
Come home my child, it's the last mile you must trod;
I'll fall asleep and wake in God's new Heaven,
Sheltered safe within the arms of God.
So let the storms rage high, the dark clouds rise,
They won't worry me for I'm sheltered safe within the arms of God;
He walks with me and naught of Earth can harm me,
Sheltered safe within the arms of God.
Sheltered safe within the arms of God!
Dottie has left us but her words to the Lord will for ever linger with us. Just as I started writing it quit raining, the sun came out and is making me feel good. Thank you Lord. After heavy rains in our area hail in part of our town not to mention my wife and I just finished working on a flooded basement these words and this blue sky and sunshine completes my day.
Like I said in my title “I Don’t Know What to Write” but Jesus came through and everything is going to be alright. Thank you Jesus, you are on time as always and I am sheltered in your arms.
