14th Jan 2009 - A Blog Revival?
Calling all Jubilate people! Remember the days when everyone blogged? I absolutely loved reading the debriefs after big events. And that's what it's all about, isn't it? Having your words heard by everyone else! So I'll go first. Check me out at: kurufurudo.blogspot.com And, if you want your blog publicised, drop a tag and let me know so I can include it in our list. Cheers, Cliff |

It's our first prayer meet in quite awhile, and, well, it was a good meet : ) With deep sharings from Verena on the scripture reading from Mark 1:40-45, along with Steffi's wise comment on Jesus' comparison of us to birds in Matthew 6:24-34, and everyone else's reflections on the readings, I know we've grown that little bit closer to God. Just some of the things we shared: On Acceptance: How, as members of a church ministry, we should help bring people into our church community, just like Jesus welcoming the healed leper back into his community by healing and cleansing him of his illness. On our Commitment to the choir, and to the church: Why do we keep coming to sing every Sunday? Can we purely say that we come down because we want to serve God, and to be loved by him? We must reflect on why we are in the choir as we grow and continue serving in this ministry. "You cannot be a slave of two masters; you will hate one and love the other...You cannot serve both God and money". Let's make sure that we're not serving a second master in our lives. On Trust: "So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough wories of its own." Let us go through life safe in the knowledge that no matter what we give up in order to spend time with God, He will always provide for us, returning to us more than what we gave up for Him. On Humility:: Everything that we do, we should do for the glory of God, and not for ourselves. Jesus healed the leper, and charged that he should tell no one. We should follow Jesus in not claiming honour for what we do for the church. And finally, on Japanese social experiments/pranks: Funny. We should do this some time. Yup, so thanks again Andrea, Aloy and Zac for planning this for us : ) -Josh |
