Chrstian Atheist, former parishoners. Malachi

Reading a book Christian Atheist. Believing in God but living as if he doesn't exist. I repent before the Lord there are times i live this way. i live this way sometimes in the way i treat others, my finances, the way i handle problems. I am so thankful the Lord has used this book to rattle my cage. I choose to walk in the spirit with the conscious that he is there at all times.

came out to Salt Lake to visit friends. a church we were youth pastors at. found the church rejoicing and doing good for most part. they have added a once a month Sunday Night Service called the river and have had powerful moving of the Spirit. I praise the Lord when I left 2 and a half years ago they were conflicted about allowing messages in tongues but they have had many Spirit baptism, and describe these as very Pentecostal services. During the time we were there they only had a Sunday morning service. they still only have Sunday am. i still find this disappointing. during the time we were pastoring here they had major renovations the building is beautiful I find it disheartening they spent all that money to renovate and only use the building once a week.

I find it also sad that i saw very little fruit of our ministry there. we saw fruitful ministry everywhere we went even the churches that turned on us. I still pray for these and love the teens we pastored as if they were my own children.

Malachi is growing so big. How I wish my mom and dad would have been able to see him. he sings praise ye the Lord came in church the other week and said out loud it's time to Praise the Lord. I couldn't be more proud of my little boy.
