Bloomsburg Christian Church, Bloomsburg PA

Tags : 

Dear Father,

The men and women You call into ministry are busy.  They have work to do, to keep in close relationship with You, to build ministries, and to shepherd the people You have put under their care.

Father, I lift up the entire pastoral community today.  I ask that You strengthen the faith and the joy of pastors in cities across America who may be discouraged today.  I also pray that You afford them as many opportunities as possible to communicate the lessons You have taught them.

This all comes to mind after visiting the website of Bloomsburg Christian Church, Bloomsburg PA.  I see the dedication to blogging by Pastor Eric Miller.  I ask for Your blessings on his blogging and that lives will be touched by it.

Harvest Bible Chapel, King of Prussia PA

Dear Father,

What a blessing to find this text on the website of Harvest Bible Chapel of King of Prussia!

We want to be the catalyst to revival becoming reality.  We see revival becoming reality in our personal lives, our prayer lives, our families, our kids, our churches, our neighbors, our coworkers, our schools, our side of the country and our entire nation.  We see prayer the all-consuming passion of God’s people, a vertical dependence that fuels every horizontal activity.  We see the power of God’s Word on full display in transformed lives.  We see people fired up to enter into God’s manifest presence every time they gather to worship. We see people who believe they are the hands and feet of Jesus on this earth, who believe the gospel is a message to be communicated and lived out.  We see revival.

Victory Church, Lancaster PA

Tags : 

Dear Father,

You have put on my heart that churches everywhere should be publishing stories, testimonies, of Your wonderful grace in people’s lives.  I am astonished how many churches publish text on their websites that compliments that vision.  Victory Church of Lancaster PA is another example.  Their four values, according to their website, include:

Jesus Christ is relevant; Everyone has purpose; God deserves our best; Grace wins

Father, Jesus Christ is relevant to every life.  Testimonies confirm that.  Everyone has purpose. Testimonies confirm that. You deserve our best, meaning we are not to hide the story You have authored in our lives.  Grace wins.  The grace of Christ overcomes whatever adversity we experience as humans.

Oak Hill Fellowship Church, Quarryville PA

Dear Father,

I thank You for the wording I found on the website of Oak Hill Fellowship Church of Quarryville PA.  They write:

At Oak Hill, we believe that it is the opportunity and responsibility for every disciple is to make disciples, and that God intended that to happen through the context of the local church… After waiting in Acts 1 for the coming of the Holy Spirit, we see a group of once-terrified disciples spreading the gospel to the ends of the earth with boldness and zeal from Acts 2 on.

A testimony certainly can be a word of spiritual and physical restoration.  It can certainly be a tool in personal evangelism.  It certainly can be a blessing to the sick and elderly in the community of East Stroudsburg, PA.

Dear Father,

I thank You for the vision of those who started Concord Baptist Church (CBC), of Wilmington, DE, in 1971.  They were inspired to meet the spiritual needs of people living in and around north Wilmington, DE.  I thank You that the church continues to be committed to that vision.
