We began with a very uplifting time of sharing testimonies.
The Lord seemed to be encouraging all present to start making changes, however small, where we are right now, instead of waiting for a much bigger picture to present itself.
It’s time to get out of the boat.....
If you don’t start moving, God can’t steer the boat!
Our discussion was based on the book, Pagan Christianity.
In many ways, it seems that rituals and traditions have replaced living relationship with the Lord in the church. Many see these ancient rituals as a form of paganism. However, the challenge is to recognise where these rituals originate, and their relevance in specified cultures, and use them, at the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to turn many back to Christ. We were reminded not to forget that we are the temple of the Lord, and He desires living stones to work with, not dead form and ritual.
Reminder to bring ideas for places where the group could help out locally and be a positive support!
