MOVEMENTS OF GOD

Movements of God are driven by an invisible force of His eternal power and divine nature.  They are in a historical context.  They are creative and life giving.  They are redemptive and lead to reconciliation.  They are personal and not just programs. They have eternal purpose and they will not fail. 

How much of the concern about the lack of people going to church is about the lost souls of the people, rather than the loss of financial means to keep the church building functional?  The shepherd who left his 99 sheep to find the 1 lost one was concerned about the sheep itself, not his reputation or his shepherding program.

Worship is not entertainment; worship is not a social event; worship is not a program with everyone well rehearsed and ready to do their part.  Worship is about coming and being in God’s Presence, individually and corporately.  God is the CEO; God is the program; God is the One speaking or is silent.

Movements of God are in the souls of people; movements of God are wherever two or three are gathered in His name; movements of God are breaking bread and sharing a meal with one another; movements of God are loving and being kind to one another.  These movements don’t require any revenue or have any overhead.  These movements will never fail.
