Our church is currently looking for a new home and at the same time "discerning where God is leading us" as a congregation. What circumstances have caused us to be a "church without a home"? But, more importantly, where is God leading us?
It seems, personally, that since "God is in control", we'd be in different circumstances, having "faithfully followed " Him for 30-some years. How would it be that we haven't been to church in quite a while? Yet, now we consider the plight of the church and realize that we are not alone, both individually and as a church.
Where do we go from here? On a more personal basis, where do I go from here? I have learned from experience that in order to manage circumstances, I must first manage myself. It is I who must return to "center, focus and concentrate" on the "pioneer church" within me. Spiritual renewal ultimately comes from study and meditation. If I wish to be renewed by the Holy Spirit, then I must return to "pursuing God". If I just wish to have my spirit renewed, I can go just about any place; and that is the problem.
