Five Steps Toward Renewing True Worship.
With Holy Spirit's help, together let's faithfully
1) Respond to the Father
2) Surrender at the Cross
3) Walk in the Spirit
4) Abide in His Word and Truth
5) Love and Carry His Holy Presence!
​
​
Overall, I believe as we take these steps toward becoming true worshipers, the American Church has an opportunity to reorient itself back to
1) Worship as the Chief End of the Church;
2) Love as the Building Block of Our Christian Communities;
3) The Defeat of our Common Enemy the Devil;
4) Increased Faith, Trust and Obedience of the Lord;
5) Restored Integrity of our Witness for the Lord!

Respond to the Father
Give glory to the Lord your God before He brings the darkness, before your feet stumble on the darkening hills. You hope for light, but he will turn it to utter darkness and change it to deep gloom. If you do not listen, I will weep in secret because of your pride; my eyes will weep bitterly, overflowing with tears, because the Lord’s flock will be taken captive!" ~ Jeremiah 13:16-17
2. Surrender at the Cross - Together!
Sadly, worship wars happen all too often in our churches...out in the fields hidden from other people's sight. Lord, forgive your people for killing others. After Adam and Eve sinned and took their eyes off you, their kids killed one another as one didn't want to whole-heartedly follow you. Sin is so alive and well in us. Lead us in your ways, O God! We have often hurt your own people for our own wants and desires in our churches. We have not loved You or our brothers and sisters. We confess our sins to you. Help us go to our brothers and sisters for forgivenss.
Do we grasp what happened in the temple when God's people came together in Christ,
all fulfilling their callings with one voice?
God's glory came down!
He inhabited the praises of His people and the temple was filled with the cloud of His presence!
Hallelujah! O Lord, you're instructing us! Open our eyes to the fullness of Your manifest glory!
"The sound that compels us to walk lock-step with Christ and the rest of his body is a holy HEARTBEAT, not a drumbeat." ~ Dr. Bill Bolin
"Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit!"
~ Matthew 7:16-17
Lessons from Nehemiah and Opposition to the Building of the Wall
*"But they were scheming to harm me; so I sent messengers to them with this reply: “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?
*We prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.
*Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. Neither I nor my brothers nor my men nor the guards with me took off our clothes; each had his weapon, even when he went for water!" ~ Nehemiah 4-6
​
4. Abide In His
Word and Truth
We need You and Your Word as our Bread of Life, O Lord! Give us faithful Ministers of Your Word each week! We desire Your truths proclaimed.
"Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." ~ Matthew 6:33-34
I sinned when I doubted. I was a brute beast before the Lord when I saw the prosperity of the wicked...Psalm 73
Jeremiah 5:19 is an exact Scripture reference the Lord spoke to us one night in 2020 completely out of no where. We had never thought about this verse or passage before. As we were processing a situation that had been sudden and without cause, the Lord said to my husband, "Go read Jeremiah 5:19."
His clear voice and specific direction to look up this verse was a remarkable gift from Him. It still is! We couldn't have had a more gracious gift from Him than truth from His own Word about what had happened. Jeremiah 5:19 is congruent with what we saw happening in a church situation. But more importantly, I believe the Lord is trying to speak to us as an American Church in our day if we will have ears to hear.
Have we forsaken our first Love and been serving other gods? Have we allowed foreign gods into our priorities and congregations?
I believe He's trying to wake us up to return to Him alone!
