Cross-centered Worship

I have heard worship leaders say that you should not focus so much on one thing in worship. I would strongly disagree. We need to always have cross centered worship. With out the cross you and I are nothing. with out the cross all of us are going to go to hell. We always need to be thankful for the cross and so that is why we need to always have cross centered worship.

Take time right now to thank God for the cross.

Don't Use E-mail to Correct Others

This is so true. At my last church there was a lot of slander and rumors going around and it was all done through email. When it comes to dealing with major issues do not use email. Be very careful in your words and what you say. If you think that it will go bad for you in an email then don't send it. Give that person a call or even as James Macdonald says just breathe before writing an email and have a right heart.

The Cup

Every time you think about the cross you should never forget about the garden. The work of the cross was done before he went to the cross.

C. J Maheny LOL

This has to be one of the most funniest things I have seen. You get him.

We need less of.

So I just started reading this book but I would say that we as Christians need to pick it up and check it out. In it John Piper, CJ Mahaney and many other pastors talk about the true thoughts of worldliness. It is not that we need to stop listening to non Christian music or stop watching pg 13 movies. But we need to watch what takes more of our time and stop that. Well go and check it out.

Amazing

T4G 2010 -- Session 9 -- C.J. Mahaney from Together for the Gospel (T4G) on Vimeo.

As a pastor who reads and watches other pastors I know how hard it can be to strive to be a name in this world. I do know that this is my sinful pride that gets me to those thoughts sometimes. Please watch this amazing sermon from C J Mahaney who is a Godly Man ,Godly Pastor, and Godly Husband who ,through his books, sermon, and ministry is a mentor of mine. It helps you to know the true calling on a pastors life and what we go through on a daily basis and it is all for the Kingdom of a great God.
