Finally, Brethren, Pray For Us

Tonight was fun.

God is bringing lots of new folks to be a part of Trinity Worship & Music and there is, what some would call "momentum" building. I must confess, it makes leading rehearsal very enjoyable.


It might seem weird to you, but I find myself kind of hesitant to enjoy it sometimes. I guess it's because I have, at times, been involved in ministries where there was a negative "momentum" and I fear going back there. I admitted that to Suzanne when we were getting ready for bed tonight and as we talked about it, I was reminded that God's got it either way. I am not the one in charge of either type of momentum. Jesus promised that He would build His church. It's not my job. It's His!

I have publicly said many times that I would rather have 20 folks involved as lead worshipers who are there by the call of God than 200 who are just there to put on a good show...and I still believe that.

As Suz drifted off to sleep, I picked up a book I keep by our bed called Taste And See and read the chapter below. As I read it, I knew I needed to write this post and enlist you to pray for the pastors at Trinity Baptist Church that we would stay in line with God's agenda for ourselves, our families, and the local assembly of believers known as Trinity.
