Lost in Translation

We had Pastor Joe Humrichous speak at our church on Sunday evening. He shared his paradigm for ministry, which is summed up in the words, "Christ obviously present and actively in charge." If Christ is those things in your church, you are on your way to having a church that pleases God. He also talked about how that starting point for ministry is the platform upon which any problem can be solved.

He offered some encouragements to prayer, especially from Rev. 3:20, which best applies to a local church. Here are a few of his encouragements: 1) Christ wants us to pray and fellowship with Him, 2) He already knows all our works, 3) We don't have to do all of the talking because our fellowship with Christ is not one-sided.

Pastor Humrichous works with the Bible Prayer Fellowship. You can visit their website for some helpful resources on prayer: Pray With Christ.
