Crossroads Bible Fellowship

Hello family! Here we are starting the blog up again and I just wanted to ask for your prayers. The fact is that all the stuff that has been happening at Crossroads and the things that I have been studying for the last 6 months have been discouraging (in the sense that things are not going as I would have hoped), but they have also been wonderfully clarifying. The fact is that there is a great need for me to depend on our great God for security. While I have been wrestling with what we should do as a body and what has been wrong, it seems that at least part of it is because Crossroads is being led by me, a sinner. That means that things are not always going to go as they should. When we add to that equation the fact that Crossroads is made up of sinners, we are in big trouble. Except…

God leads and directs His church. He is the “Senior Pastor”!

Please join me in praying for our little local body. We have a great opportunity to display His greatness because we are so weak. He uses the foolish to confound the wise and that means He can use the likes of us. (1 Corinthians 1:26-31) My plea to you is that we really pray for His mercy and help. We must plead with Him to care for us because we will not survive if He doesn’t. This way we will be boasting in God and not ourselves. That is a good place to be.

The interesting part about this is that this is true of all churches, but we don’t always think about it that way. We all depend on Jesus and that is the way it should be.

Please join me in praying. Maybe even stop by my house and physically pray with me! I might do the same with you. I am so thankful for all of you. God is gracious to give us one another.

Your brother,
Michael
