David Kinnan Blog - A Possible Challenge for my Church?

Ministry Update

When John Smith and many others first came over to what we now call “America”, a pastor was among them who held the same vision as everyone else…a vision to share the gospel with an entirely new people group. What they found that first year was far from what they dreamt of…they saw starvation…sickness…and a great deal of death.

Surrounded by ?

Who is around you? Your circle...who is it? Your friends...who are they?

The people who surround you have such a powerful impact on the “now” and the “later” of your life. Today I was thinking about different historical figures who seemed to have been surrounded by others who shared their passion and zeal. Guys like John Wesley were surrounded by other men who were as driven as he was driven. I know this seems like an incredibly simple and perhaps elementary thought, but it reveals my heart: I want to be surrounded by people who love God with a passion that supersedes everything (yes, I mean “everything”).

There is a generation behind you watching your response to your God…our motive for obedience should mature beyond our fear or reverence.”

A little scary to think about when I don't even feel like a full grown adult at 39 years old LOL...but your are so right in regard to our children losing so much respect for the one's they love when they see something in them that is untrustworthy, our children must believe that at the end of the day when they fall asleep at night alone in their bed that we as parents TRULY TRULY love them. I have spoken to so many adult's who look back on their childhood and share they never felt loved by their parent's. I hope the love that my children feel from me will help them want to FORGIVE me when I fall and make errors before their eye's.

We're are planning a message series on "Marriage" in a few months, and I'd like your feedback on something. For those of you who know the culture of our church and our city...could we do THIS...
