Thankfull!

I'm very thankfull for all the friends that I have, if it wasn't for all of you I wouldn't be where I am. Thinking about this has challenged me in two ways, with one praying for my friends who are lost, fallen away from Christ. And for the secong challenge is something I've been challenged with and now I challenge all of you!
Support your friends, give them encouragment, push them remeber Grace triumphs or evil. If your going to judge do it out of love. But remember if you speek of your brother of not be in the right standing, you better be ready to look at yourself to see the areas you may need to work on.

i have realized that we all need to take ourselves to the next level! Were to busy looking at other people when we don't see the sliver or even the log in our life. This is a challenge to me as well!

Thank God that His power is made perfect in our weakness!!

The reason for the season

It's that time! Let me tell you I have never felt such a urgency and a proud feeling of what we have in Christ, which is the reason for the season. I'm not afraid to boast about that cause we are even told if your going to boast, boast about Christ, whom alot of people have fallen awaya from not just during ever other day of the year but the most important, the time of Christ birth. No although bibical scholars say its not December when Christ was born, non- the less. At Christmas time we are to celebrate the birth of Christ.
Thank God that he sent his son!! I pray that those cheerished carols that speak of Christ birth would be played in the malls and stores and NOT pushed aside for these NEW songs,"Baby it's cold outside" stuff....
Hark the herald Angel SIng Glory to our new born KING
Amen, Just had to get that out... even if people don't read this it's a devotional to myself on the meaning of what the season of Christmas is about!
God bless

Catch IT!

I've been asked alot lately when will God's people, his soldiers catch his heart meaning "Doing what God wishes following his commands and not our own".. And the truth is that and i'm not perfact definitly not, but people get away from checking with God and doing things by the way they want to do it the way that to them feels right... Our heart is a wellspring of Life and can give mis-direction.. Imagine if we let go of our own ambitons to the call and heart of God and leave a legacy for Christ and not for ourselves!
When will Bible school students ( and this isn't geared at all Bible school ppl, I know great men and woman of God who have gone to Bibe college) but when will they realize its not about everything that was jammed into their heads, and strip away all the head knowledge , when its about THE HEART and get down to what matters that we are to be ministers of the gospel of Christ to all people Romans 15:16, so preach the word, teach, rebuke and encourage, not being ashmaed not watering down the word of God for the sake of numbers.. to not back away, but be lead by the Holy Spirit and not afraid to see peopel shaken, in their personal lives with God, CAUSE REALLY they need to be ratteled a little, actually alot!!
We have become so seeker sensitive that we water down the message of truth, change it so we fill the seats and say yep we had 50-60 kids out last night!!
WOw, is that what is had come too! We need to be that church who will build the people and not be so worried about building up our numbers with the people... REMEMBER everyone should want a spirit filled, driven , solded out church youth group who is follwing after God's own heart!! And that group will change their community city and in return that will bear fruit brinign about a "Great church" where people can come and be built up, strengthened and not put into a seat to just fill it!!
We should all want a "Quality not a quantity church, youth group!! When we take care of the little God will trust us with the Big things, the big visions!
Have a good night,
God bless

New Beginnings!

Wow! The past couple weeks have been exciting ones with Brother Tedd Shuttlesworth and then our 25th Anniversary here at Bethel celebrating 25 yeasr at this London Line spot. I'm ecited to see how God is going to move,,and how new things and changed witll come about. From the new decore that plans are underway for renovation of the church for expansion touch ups! Most importanlty i'm excited how God has been moving our Youth Group in Motion Ministries under the leadership and vision of Pastor Gianpaulo my boss and Youth Pastor. I'm thrilled to know that god works is great and power ways, and i'm thanking God that he hears our hearts cry for Canada and for Sarnia. Which is why I believe that our Masters Commission dream will take place in Bethel Sarnia. Please pray that we are lead by the spirit and not of our own speed and passion but by God and God alone.. That is the only way Blue Water Masters Commission will ever take form and place int eh church of Bethel Pentecostal Church here in Sarnia, Ontario...
Thank you everyone who is praying for us, and I want to give a special thanks to my home church Full Gospel Fellowship in Simcoe, Ontario for believing in me and supporting me!

God Bless you all,

Andrew

The Champion Drama

The beginning

Hello everyone! I have recently been challenged by the way the world is turning and developing. A good friend of mine that I grew up with has a blog site and I thought, "Hey I should join, not just for joinning but to shed some light on questions many people have mabye on God or life."
Now im not saying i know everything, however I know that a good conversation with people can open gate ways to understanding. And although we are told in the Bible to "Test and approve everything" You can't guard and push off everything that comes your way...
Be lead by the Holy Spirit and let Christ guide you into all understanding.... Phil. 4:7

To all my friends out there! Lets chat and see what comes from our discusions!
