Epiphany Fellowship
E v e r y minister, elder, person who put their lips to a mic was PHENOMENAL. They EACH spoke eloquently and with conviction, clearly studied, not only their text, but the whole Gospel, they were relatable and smart and thorough, they pointed e v e r y t h i n g to Jesus Christ! Every song the choir and praise team sang was about Jesus, it was a healthy mix of new school stuff I'd never heard of about sin being great, but Jesus being greater, and Great is Thy Faithfulness. INCREDIBLE!
What if Your Gifts Don't Make Sense?
I AM GIFTED. I am gifted to do hair. I am gifted to write. EQUALLY. The two don't make sense in my mind, but I am convinced they do not have to. God has a plan for my gifts, He wouldn't have trusted them both with me otherwise. It's not easy and I promise I am confused, but I have a sketch of a plan and I am trusting a good, all-knowing God.
Church & Sin
The Church has no choice but to be hypocritical because the church will never not have sinners in their pews. But the sinners should want to be changed. And while they're sinning, they shouldn't judge others outside the church for sinning also, and after they've made a conscious decision to give their life to Christ and try their best to put aside their totally sinful ways, they should reach back and encourage the next life, the next soul to do the same.
