Tim i found it liberating to just do what the Lord wants you to do i work within his boundarys and yes i attend church and enjoy it.I love the people and i love hearing the word and worshipping the Lord even if others are still bound up with traditions thats not my walk thats theres.My focus is to do what the Lord wants me to do.There have been times i have said no to the pastor he does nt understand why i choose not to lead the worship.i query him as well regarding the idea that its not just performing a function because there is a need our hearts have to be
in the right place so that the Lord can use us but he did nt understand where i was coming from and thats okay because of that i just said no until my heart is right i am better not being involved
in leading.But i am happy to be an encouragement to others
in the worship team i havent wanted to be the leader i have done that
in the past.So my focus has been just the singing and being part of different worship teams i think the Lord has other plans as the groups i am
in seem to be changing at the same time i am aware that i do nt to worry about change as the Lord knows whats best.I used to be quite comfortable leading the music but that was before when i was operating
in my own self confidence and pride.The Lord did such a huge change
in my life that i lost my self confidence and that is not a bad thing at all as my spiritual growth has been incredible.The big change was my identity moved from me and what i could do to knowing who i was
in Christ and that he is my strength and confidence.Now i know that without him i can do
nothing in fact i am dependent on his empowerment through his holy spirit all the time
in everything.

in Faith the Lord really blessed the morning to the congregation.The difference is knowing that i
serve the Lord with the gifts he has given me but my heart has to be right and when i do it
in his
way it builds up the body and it brings glory to him.May the Lord continue to show you what he wants you to do even though others may not understand your reasons i just want you to know that you do nt have to pull away completely just work within the boundarys that the Lord gives you and do nt feel pressured by others expectations to do anything that feel uncomfortable.Be involved just as you feel lead by the holy spirit even if it is
in a very minor
way take small steps.regards brentnz
Jeremy I agree its not about what we can do but all about what Jesus has done for us it is all about his grace not following mans laws or trying to please the pastor or the church.Be respectful for those
in authority and show them Gods love work hard as for the Lord as you
serve them and pray for them but do nt try and please them.We no longer follow the
ways of the world we live to please the Lord and worship him not man because that is idolatory.Thats why religion does nt work we can do
nothing to add to Gods grace.Grace is also not a licence to sin as some christians believe and God is not fooled if we do not repent and turn from our sin he does nt hear our prayers if the intents of our heart are wrong.God listens to the humble and the repentent sinner or saint.The journey
in following Christ is about how much do we want to follow Jesus to discover the abundant life and richs
in Christ we must fully give him all our hearts and
serve him wholehearted out of thankfulness for his grace and mercy towards us.brentnz

in circumstances where: (i) the tenant had failed to attend the hearing before the LVT, (ii) the tenant had omitted to bring s 47 to the LVT's attention, and (iii) where there was

in lies, Or being hated, don't give
way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor walk too wise: If you can dream — and not make dreams your master; If you can think — and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build»em up with worn - out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch - and - toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To
serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is
nothing in you Except the WILL which says to them: «Hold On!»
