if you have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything.

"give me faith,to trust what You say.that You're good,and Your love is great....I may be weak, but Your spirit's strongin me,my flesh may fail,but my God,You never will"

how can we sing this from the stage and yet in the midst of a situation forget that nothing takes the Lord by surprise. if the Lord could speak through a DONKEY, i'm pretty sure He is in control no matter what. as said by the bunny on Bambi, "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all". how can we reach a broken world if we as the bride of Christ are eating one another?

please stop using facebook as a place to air grievances. it's isn't becoming or mature and further alienates the world we are trying to reach. the church isn't about me, or you or leadership or elders. the church is a hospital for the broken.

i'm not looking to start a discussion or an argument, I'm just a twenty something whose heart is hurting more for the horrible outbursts i've seen on the internet lately.

if you are truly concerned and bothered by what is happening around you THE ONLY PERSON YOU SHOULD BE TALKING TO ABOUT THEM is the Lord. place your frustrations at His feet and LEAVE THEM THERE. The Lord does NOT need our help. So let's stop insulting Him by acting as if He is out of control or as if He'd delivered the children of Israel from slavery only to die at the hands of a raging ocean.
