I’m so excited today as my great friend and brother in Christ Ben accepted his invitation from me to post his spirit led writings on my little blog for us all to enjoy. Ben leads our new small mens group ‘The Dynamic Force‘ and much more. He also helps disciple me each day with encouragement, conviction and prayer.
I pray that his writings will help encourage, challenge and bless you as we all travel along this amazing journey.
Check out his first (and hopefully not last) post ‘The Dynamic Force‘Β and also check out his blog ‘The Most Excellent Way‘

The Dynamic Force

What is Church?
People have various views on what the Church is but how many people have really grasped the full, world breaking extent of this divine institution?
Our idea of Church is so ingrained in us through years of mis-experience that the truth of Gods plan is buried beneath countless piles of confused Christians. To most people ‘Church’ says Sundays, Services, Buildings, Songs, and plenty of other things that tradition keeps alive, and that are not intrinsically bad but by the same token can meaning absolutely nothing.
The reality is that the scope of Gods plan for people has no limits, aside from those outlined by the things that destroy us; We can do whatever we want, as long as it’s good. Yet for years humanity has dedicated itself to doing exactly those things that break us and now we find ourselves in the unenviable position of wanting to escape the damage but having no idea how.
So, where does the Church fit in?
I am sure that, if the Church had always done what it was supposed to do then we would know exactly where it fits in and see that it is actually the perfect answer to that most important, totally non-religious question: ‘just how do we get ourselves out of this mess?’.
However….
The Church has misbehaved for so long that not even the Christians know what it should look like.
So….
It’s time we listened to God. It’s time the Church became a DYNAMIC FORCE that fills every area of life. A force that can change and mould itself to deal with any situation, powered by the Spirit Himself and defined by the humility and unquenchable forgiveness of all it’s members. The Church is everything or it should be and was designed by God so that, through Jesus we could learn the truth about life and choose it – rejecting all evil.
The biggest question……?
What is holding us back, because it’s not God.
And our point……?
This is what we are trying be in this one tiny corner of Gods plan: That DYNAMIC FORCE that WILL change everything. Let’s make it happen.

Quote 4 2day π¬Β
Let us use worldly things as wise pilgrims do their staves and other necessaries convenient for their journey. So long as they help us forward in our way, let us make use of them, and accordingly esteem them. But if they become troublesome hindrances and cumbersome burdens, let us leave them behind us, or cast them away.
— George Downame

My Friend & brother in Christ Ben is challenging himself by doing the “National Poetry Month.” He has to post a poem a day for the month of April. I will reblog each day for you to enjoy! π
Grace is the preface to the eternal resting-place of the human-race
The place where you change pace
Leave the rat-race and rainbow-chase
Enter that God given, God powered space
Take your birthplace and warm your pale-face
Grace is the type-face of Godβs MySpace
The product of His marketplace
The sound of His double-base
Playing notes in Heavenβs showplace
Given airspace, everyplace by Him through time-and-space
Grace is the interface between us and God through Jesus Christβs Embrace
The love-lace that ties us to Him and shows His face
That gives head-space to people from everyplace
The remedy that clears disgrace in every case
Itβs the love of God for His people and the name of His workplace
Grace is the very one-horse-race in the divine People-chase
Where God will always outpace and deface
The bare-face lies in sub-space
And retrace the crawlspace of the human-case
And show that the truthβ¦

It’s Jesus

Quote 4 2day π¬Β
Just think: Every promise God has ever made finds its fulfillment in Jesus. God doesn’t just give us grace; he gives us Jesus, the Lord of grace. If it’s peace, it’s only found in Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Even life itself is found in the Resurrection and the Life. Christianity isn’t all that complicated…it’s Jesus. –Β Joni Eareckson Tada

What isΒ a man?
Someone who searches for hope, or someone without a plan?
Who meets the cost?
Someone whoΒ asks to be found, or someone who neverΒ found outΒ he was lost?
Who makes it through?
Someone who can laugh at himself, or someone whos fear rules his view?
WhoΒ gets direction?
Someone who opens the door, or someone who avoids the question?
Who takes the chance?
Someone who wants to be free, or someoneΒ whoβs lost in a world induced trance?
One last thingβ¦..
Can you look at life and see God, or do you look at everything and see nothing?
Our Greatest Need

If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent a financier; if pleasure, an entertainer. As it is forgiveness, He sent a Saviour. – Nicky Gumbel
Father in heaven, I know that I have broken your laws and that my sins have separated me from you. I now want to turn away from my past sinful life.
Please forgive me, andΒ help me avoid sinning again.
I believe that you sent your sonΒ Jesus Christ, who died for my sins,Β was resurrected from the dead, andΒ is now alive.Β I invite Jesus toΒ become the Lord of my lifeβto ruleΒ and reign in my heart from this dayforward.
Please send me your HolyΒ Spirit to help me to obey you, and
to do your will for the rest of my life.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
