Yesterday was Easter and my church did a production/musical based on Max Lucado’s book 3:16. The way they integrated worship with the pastor was great (especially for my ADD!) He would come up in between songs and explain a little of John 3:16 each time. Great way of keeping attention as well as a focus on the resurrection!
But that’s not what this blog post is about. That morning in the shower I was praying, for my long 30 minute shower I was praying. I prayed for the service, the parking, the pastor’s message, the worship, the tech team, the volunteers and especially for the hearts of the people coming who did not know Christ. I prayed for that pesky little devil with a little influence to stay away. I know how it is…
Anytime, before any huge thing we do here at the BCM strife sets in. Petty squabbles and distractions occur.
Did you pray for your pastor yesterday? How about today? Are you going to pray for him tomorrow? What about his family.
Steven Furtick is the pastor of Elevation Church and his wife also has a blog. Check out this post about how a wife can help her husband during trials. Check out her post “Put up your dukes.”
