Church beyond 4 walls

Last Sunday night, looking at the world and the millions that are suffering, people that hadn't know God, surviving and not living, going after meaningless pursuits, those hurting and crying under their blanket, shouting in their mind for someone to save them, no knowing that there is hope.  All this simply breaks my heart. I guess when I prayed for God to break my heart for what breaks His, I wasn't aware of how much that actually entails. Yet I'm still thankful that God is willing to confide in me (psalm 25:14).

Through the eyes of a child..

A child was asked to write a book report on the entire Bible. Reading it brought me laughter and I wonder how often we take for granted the childlikeness we see in people.

Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren’t embarrassed because mirrors hadn’t been invented yet. Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden…Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn’t have cars. Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel. Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or ...
