Show me your Way

One of my favorite worship groups is Hillsong. They have song; actually is it more of prayers called "Show me Your Ways". It is listed below.


Show me Your ways
That I may walk with You
Show me Your ways
I put my hope in You

Chorus

The cry of my heart
Is to love You more
To live with the
Touch of Your hand
Stronger each day
Show me Your ways


One of the reasons I like this song is because it ties into a message of Jesus. We need to follow the Father. We need to submit the Father, to honor the Father. On Jesus' last night on before he was killed, he ask God to take this cup from me, and then prayed "Not my will, but your will be done."

I beleive that is a message that all Christ followers need to take to heart. Not my will, but God's will be done. We want to join Him in what HE is doing, not try to force Him to join us.

Show me your way Oh Lord, Show me your ways, so that I might walk with.

A link for churches and Pastor's

http://preachingstandard.com/2007/03/sixty-four-things-i-wish-someone-had.html#links
I read this today. It is from one of the writers at "Preaching Standard". I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
There are some good thoughts on how to be a pastor and how a church should help a pastor.

May God bless you,

What have we come to?

As many of you now Anna Nicole Smith is no longer with us. She was Playboy modle, actress, and reality show Star. Plus is known for gaining and shedding wieght. Needless to say her life was pretty messed up. This past week has been filled with whois her baby's father?

How sad is that? In a world where people are starving, where people are being kicked out fo thier homes, familes are breakign up, and school kids need to wear bullet proof vest; what we see on the "news" is about a lady who slept around, and had a child out of wed-lock, and nobody knew who the real daddy was. At one point in our society she would of been an outcast, and looked down on. Today she is celebrated. The Baby's father is a former boyfriend. At least this child will know it's dad. Unfortunitly it will only know it's mom, by the morally challenged news stories and pictures that are Anna Nicoles Legacy.

When we speak and act, we really need to think about how this will affect others. A lesson I wished I learned earlier in my life, and one that I am still learning.

God,
Grant me the wisdom to see the outcome of my actions, and the knowledge to keep my mouth shut!
