We had such a great time of fellowship and worship and bible study last night at Thursday Night Amplified... Such a sweet spirit of believers there... God is so good and He loves us so much and I can't help but believe that he is honored when a group of people get together to praise and worship him. Thank you Angela and Miriam for leading us in song and I want to thank each one that participated in the Bible Study.
I will leave you this thought as I received it from God... We are studying Ecclesiastes chapter 5 and the first verse says "When you enter into the house of the Lord, keep your ears open and YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!" Says it big as day... Keep your mouth shut...

WOW!! That's hard for me to do... But God said for me to SHUT UP!

So you may ask, How do we deal with sin in the church if we're suppose to be quiet?

This is where accountability partners and admonishment comes into play and if you are a true friend to someone who may be doing things against the word of God, then you go to that person outside of the church in a one-on-one basis, IN LOVE, and talk to them about it...

You don't talk to everyone else about that particular person's sin you go to the person IN LOVE....

Isn't God's word so relevant to today's situations... If you are struggling with knowing what to do, then read God's word and let him reveal it to you through his word... It is alive, and it cuts to the quick when we need it...

I love you!!
