Anguish or Concern

I am listening to a David Wilkerson sermon entitled "A Call To Anguish." Any body other than me ever here a message that really just beats you down and makes you just feel bad? But I think there are times when we must feel that way. He talks about the difference between being concerned about something and being in gut wrenching, crying anguish. where we literally feel the pain of God for something.

We can get caught up in a concern or have some idea, but he raises the point is really of God if it was not born in anguish?

I am sitting here asking myself the same thing. Which of the ideas, dreams or other things that I am involved in....were they born out of some whim that we are going to chase and spend time and money on...they were not birthed out of a baptism of anguish....where the holy spirit really would not leave you alone, where you had to stop everything you were doing and pray about something????

How much of my time is spent chasing things that have no effect or meaning in the kingdom. How much of the money I spend, offer, tithe is spent not on weighty matters of the kingdom but on some idea or "man project." Why do we chase things without prayer and fasting.

If you think you can handle it, go to http://sermonindex.net/ and look up David Wilkerson's message a call to anguish.

Romania Bound

Well we have our first meeting for our mission trip to Romania in the fall today. We will be doing medical stuff. WOO HOO. I have never been to Europe or anything like that. I have been to Australia and New Zealand and Mexico.

i will post more updates as they become available.

I need to invest in an ipod/mp3 thingy for some tunes and stuff that I can down load so I don't have to carry 50 Cd's. Those things are pretty cool. Of course someone will have to show me how to use it. I am not what you call smart in the area of the techno stuff.

I guess we can all learn new things.
