Difficulties

February 16, 2008

The past two years have taught me many things.  Creating and maintaining momentum is very difficult in a simple church.  Recently I have been reminded of Jesus words to Nicodemus:

Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

I have planted many seeds over the last two years and very few have grown.  However, I am not discouraged but challenged to find better soil.
