Thought 19: So just recently it has been revealed to my attention that there are ads upon buses that say "There is probably no God so enjoy life." This revelation now made sense of why the Catholic church I pass everyday on Benvoulin said "There probably is a God so enjoy life." Now from what I have heard churches have made no big deal about this, rather than Willow Park mentioning it in the service briefly, which is for the best. These ads are not going to hurt the cause of God at all. It's like a video that has been circulating around the Willow Park community that says "trying to prove God is like defending a lion. It doesn't need your help. Just unlock the cage." Our God is not so weak that a simple ad will weaken him. The only way that damage would come about is if the church makes a big deal about it and attacks it. An attack like that would come from anger which would not be a fair representation of Christ and will harm his cause more that help it. This ad will fade but God's glory is forever.
Thought 20: If you weren't at GENnet on Monday then you really missed out on an amazing teaching by Joel Fedderson. At GENnet we are going through the topic of sharing the Gospel and this is definitely Joel's passion. To summarize what he said was that prayer is the most important and most powerful weapon we have. Without prayer we might as well just stop doing everything we are because no fruit will come from it. This is because without the Spirit God cannot be discerned. If there is no one praying for a person then the Spirit will never be with them and they will not understand anything of God. The Spirit is necessary for God to move on earth and we need to pray to bring the Spirit to those around us whom we love.
