"The 24/7 Church"

A WORD FROM THE PASTOR:

With sadness of heart, I surmise that many (the majority?) of Christians do most, if not all, of their praying and reading of Scripture on Sunday during Sunday School or morning worship. The church is made up of all those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ. So, what affect does the church have on our world the rest of the week? How are we, God's people, allowing Him to influence, direct, intervene, motivate, etc., us the other 166 hours of our week? Something to give serious consideration to, don't you think?
Billy Graham, quoted in George Sweeting's book, Who Said That, wrote, "When comfort and ease and pleasure are put ahead of duty and conviction, progress is always set back. What makes us Christians shrug our shoulders when we ought to be flexing our muscles? What makes us apathetic in a day when there are loads to lift, a world to be won, and captives to be set free? Why are so many bored, when the times demand action? Christ told us in the last days there would be an insipid (lack of interest, dull) attitude toward life."
The Church is a 24/7, living entity. What do you say? Can we come to the place where the Lord is the major player in every aspect of our lives?

Where using a different method to record sermon's and are panning out the technical difficulites. We're in hopes that the "podcast" will return by next week.
