Trends in Our Churches

God´s sheep are best when flocked together. But the lack of agreement and the shallow flattery in our places of worship don´t hide the ambush. We are in desperate need of our Shepherd. Pray that some will see our condition and do something about it. Pray for individuals who are serious enough to seek the presence of God. We cannot afford to follow the herd when it is headed in the wrong direction. Return to Christ, whole heart, and whole soul!

Dear Lord, open our eyes and ears to You. Let us hear Your voice again and see that we need to come close to You. We will be safe in Your embrace and no other place. So save for yourself a few who will draw near. Let us seek Your presence individually and in our churches. Amen
