I don't know if you read "Our Daily Bread" for today, June 30th, but it struck me this morning on the power of prayer in growing our churches. Read and let the Holy Spirit guide your thoughts. My take on it is to pray and give our church back to Him, rather than trying to update our music or the way we worship, or add something new into being, or rely on another person. All we really need is a heart for God and for each member to pray, pray, pray! I don't mean to try and over-simplify matters, but remember this.
James 5:16b "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much."
Plus, we don't follow anyone other than Jesus Christ, not a particular preacher or teacher. Yes, we yearn to have Godly leaders, but prayer and love never fails. God honors that and will supply who and what we need, when we need it.
I Corinthians 3:9-11
9 "For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
Our foundation will always be the Living Christ.
