I am just back from a church in the town of Isleham. It a church that I thought about going for sometime now but God called me to attend today. What a blessing it was. I meet a couple of people and the pastor and his wife. He is a John Piper fan. The sermon was a great sermon in Nehemiah 2 about prayerfully waiting on God, acting and praying to God. Nehemiah prayed to God about the burden of Jerusalem. He waited and served God where he was placed. The preacher, who was an elder, spoke on how we must pray and wait for God to move. In Chapter 2 of Nehemiah, we see that Nehemiah wanted to rebuild the walls and gates of Jerusalem. He talk about how they, the church, needs to pray and they try to rebuild the church in England (and American also). That we need to sit back and look at the problem but go an attack the problem within and outside the church. To rebuild the walls so we can defend ourselfs.
The reason why I felt the need for going was due to the lack of word this morning. I guess I was not engaged in the sermon this morning but this sermon had me engaged until my mind wondered but I got it back in focus. The sermon encouaged me to reach the lost even more to define Christianity and false Christianity. During these hard time we must continueto reach the lost and attack the culture with Bibical truth.
All that and that is not even the reason for the post. The reason of this post is because of the great fellowship I had with the pastor. I can not thank God enough for the blessing. We talk for a long time and everything was Christ centered. It restored my soul to talk to a Christian brother that I just meet. I do not know much about his life but in Christ we have a connection that will never end. My only regret is that I did not change church sooner. I will thank God that he has showed me a church that is Christ-centered and on fire for God. I now know what a real Christian church looks like. Now the church hunt begians. I can truly say that I can not express in a blog how I feel right now. I wish that I could have more fellowship with believers that can never end. It was God who showed my what true fellowship in His son is like and I want to glorify him with.
I leave with only idea. Have you truly been a fellowship that cannot come close to being defined?
