I'm so thankful for men of God who still stand and hold to the old paths (my husband being one).  It's not that they're "not with the times" but they see the dangerous path which these trends are leading away from God and godliness.  These men love and care deeply for your souls....that's why they hold so tightly to the old paths.

I feel such conviction within me when i see pictures from other countries.  People in the Philippines are so hungry for God that they'll WALK 3 HOURS to catch a ride for another hour or more sandwiched in cattle trucks.

They're not requiring coffee stations in the vestibule, the best music, polished preaching, etc. They're just hungry....for Jesus.

People in China are being beaten and having their legs broken because they serve Jesus.

We're spoiled in America. Jesus, help us to get our focus back where it needs to be.
