On prayer and discernment

Thank God for being able to go for prayer meeting this week. I was really blessed to see all our church leaders come to church eariler in the middle of the week to pray for members in the church, just before the actual meeting. Similarily, thank God for folks that are so faithful in coming down for corporate prayers, hopefully on top of their personal prayers.

To discern and to discriminate the truth, I was just pondering as I read Macarthur's book- on how easily we have compromise the truth. One compromise leads to another. I guess I will blog more on this as God convicts me.

Ok, I believe prayer and physical support for our fellow brethren is of vital importance. Our missionary -The Lam family, came by yesterday for our prayer meeting as they prepare to set off for good to Iran jaya in Indonesia for good this saturday. My friend who had came along, together with me applaud at the family's willingness to serve God. Yet, I guess what they were looking for last night was a more strong support for their work in Iran jaya. By the relatively small number of people yesterday, and the somewhat unresponsive and uninterested people, of whom I am guilty, I think it's very easy for them to get discouraged. Besides keeping them in prayers, we also need to act out our faith by giving that extra 'pat on their shoulder'.
God has not provided us with a church so that we can heal our soul and get spiritual food, but I believe He has gather us together so that we can pray for each other.

Prayer has been said to move the hands of God, so let's be at the Lord's house at the hour of prayer.
