Deeper Spirituality

This photograph, as well as the other two at the top of the Blog, were captured off Facebook by our friend David McGhee from Faith Presbyterian Church in Huntsville. Thank you David.

Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.

There can be no growth in the church today unless there is a deepening of the spiritual life of the church leaders and ultimately all church members. So often we want to start new programmes, improve music styles, review church liturgy, but lose sight of the need to improve prayer life and spiritual response to that prayer life. In church leadership today there needs to be a leading by example and that example must follow the example given to us through the Bible.

The need to bring Christ today to those who have not heard the Gospel is vital and unless we have a passion for the lost, we will not have the passion of Christ. We need to be praying for Jesus to touch the hearts and minds of people today, for an opening and softening so that love will replace hate, understanding will replace misunderstanding, patience to replace impatience and so forth. The more we realise that if we pray for these things, we are praying for those very things that Jesus is praying for. It starts with us.

Be encouraged today to pray for church leaders and church members that their spirituality will deepen.
