So this is a lot of posting for one day! but i must share just HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD! He put on our hearts the same thing, for we are of one Spirit, able to discern what it is He says. And these were the notes i took.
what we need:
Courage to call out the backslider
Accountability
Convictions from the BIBLE and not our FEELINGS which can deceive us
Submit to the authority God has placed above us
physical ideas:
pray as led-have a prayer "suggestion" in the worship guide for those who aren't led at that particular moment by the Spirit; include the Lord's prayer (Luke 11)
accountability partners
between thrive and latenight, or during latenight in a special room, a place for those who want to "dig deeper" to pray and discuss the sermon (kind of like the prayer room)
the sign that asks the visitors to enter the sanctuary in quiet prayer, and to please not leave during the service, and to turn cell phones off (like for prayer and praise night)
As Queen Esther prayed and fasted, and had her ladies pray and fast, we too should pray and fast before bringing up the bigger issues to those in authority over us
I wanted to have a place to have these written out so anyone who has more to add can comment or message me to tell me what else needs to be added but i think this is a start. :)
