Too busy to blog lately. But, I fly back to Manila tomorrow and will have about twenty hours on the plane to catch up on my “What is an Every Nation Church?” blog series.
I’ll get to that tomorrow. But today I want to review Bethel’s 11:45 a.m. Sunday service with special guest, Bishop Wellington Boone. Great message from a great man.
Wellington is a pastor, church-planter, husband, father, author, long-time (former) ECFA board member, a minister of reconciliation, and a Promise Keeper.
Here are my notes and quotes of Wellington’s sermon, “Living this Life with the End in View.”
– “Too many Christians serve God for His hands not for His feet. His hands represent what He does for us. His feet represent our walk with Him.”
– “The weight of carrying the Ark of the Covenant caused the carriers to leave footprints in the sand that could be followed. Much of modern Christianity is so light that it leaves no footprints to follow.”
– “Believe in people before performance. I’m glad someone believed in me before I performed anything worthwhile.”
– “We know what it is to be a male, but not what it means to be a man. One had to do with gender, the other has to do with development. Any male can father a child, but it takes a real man to be responsibe for the child.”
– “We got to get delivered from a spirit of broke.”
– “The color-line was covered by the blood of Jesus.”
– “You’re not just a church, you’re a family—all with the same Daddy.”
