A Dilemma!

Nehemiah 8: 3
He read it aloud from daybreak till noon as he faced the square before the Water Gate in the presence of the men, women and others who could understand.
And all the people listened attentively to the Book of the Law.

Talk about a long worship service.
Ezra read from the book of the law for a number of hours.
What Pastor in this world today, could get away with that?

There isn’t a day that goes by, when I don’t hear someone say… “We’re losing ground in the church, aren’t we?”
That’s why Ezra spent so much time reading God’s Word.

Is the church too far gone, for it to return to the glory it once knew? Only God knows that answer.
To get that answer, we have to spend time with God.
Someone in our morning prayer group on Sunday, asked God to give them a deeper desire for prayer.

Maybe the church needs another great awakening?
Maybe it could actually start in that small church over in Winneconne?
I mean with God, anything is possible.

So what needs to change in your life, for God to come and do an awakening?
Maybe it’s time for God’s spirit, to stir the hearts of His people again.
Maybe it’s time for the faithful of God, to come to the end of themselves.          

Look and see what Rev. Leonard Ravenhill said about this dilemma we’re in;

“The American church is not dying because of the strength of humanism, but the weakness of evangelism.” Leonard Ravenhill
