To each one of us, Christ says ' I invite you'. Why does He invite us? Because men and women all over the world desire the true liberation and the true realization
The poor seek justice and solidarity; the oppressed ask for freedom and dignity; the blind desire the light and truth.
We are not coming to proclaim an abstract truth.
The Gospel is not a theory or an ideology.
The Gospel is LIFE

Prayer for the Government.

We pray, Thee O Almighty and Eternal God! Who through Jesus Christ hast revealed Thy glory to all nations, to preserve the works of Thy mercy, that Thy Church, being spread through the whole world, may continue with unchanging faith in the confession of Thy Name.

We pray Thee, who alone art good and holy, to endow with heavenly knowledge, sincere zeal, and sanctity of life, our chief bishop, Pope N., the Vicar of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the government of his Church; our own bishop, N., all other bishops, prelates, and pastors of the Church; and especially those who are appointed to exercise amongst us the functions of the holy ministry, and conduct Thy people into the ways of salvation.

We pray Thee O God of might, wisdom, and justice! Through whom authority is rightly administered, laws are enacted, and judgment decreed, assist with Thy Holy Spirit of counsel and fortitude the President of these United States, that his administration may be conducted in righteousness, and be eminently useful to Thy people over whom he presides; by encouraging due respect for virtue and religion; by a faithful execution of the laws in justice and mercy; and by restraining vice and immorality. Let the light of Thy divine wisdom direct the deliberations of Congress, and shine forth in all the proceedings and laws framed for our rule and government, so that they may tend to the preservation of peace, the promotion of national happiness, the increase of industry, sobriety, and useful knowledge; and may perpetuate to us the blessing of equal liberty.

5 signs of a dying church

* Attendance Loss

People stop attending and inviting others. They don't feel the same passion they felt when they first started attending or the burning desire they had when they were young. Quite frankly, they are not excited about their church or what is happening there.

* Attendance Leveling

I hear a lot of preachers say something like, "We've been running 300 quite regularly lately". They say that like it's a good thing, but in reality that's a bad thing. They've been running 300 for the last five years. That's not momentum...

* Offerings Have Recently Dropped

If people have stopped paying their tithes or regular giving to the church, that means that either they don't trust their minister with the money or they don't share the ministry's vision for their church. As a result, they're not being a supporter financially.

* No hanging around/fellowship after service

Every church I have been a part of, has always had wonderful fellowship of the members and their guests after the worship service had ended. Many are the times that the person locking the building up, had to tell people it's time to leave so he could go home. Have you noticed over the years that some people like to scurry out the door and leave immediately, instead of staying for a while and enjoying fellowship with their brothers and sisters in the Lord?

* Youth Group numbers declining.

Young people have a keen ability to recognize something that is real from something that is false. At least when it comes to faith, and whether or not people really love them or not.

Whether they know it or not, the young people of our generation are seeking after parental figures and role models. If the church is loving, caring, and reaches out to these young people, it will most likely have a Youth group that is growing exponentially.

Faithfulness in our calling

He went out to meet Asa and said to him, 'Listen to me, Asa and all
Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you when you are with Him. If you
seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will
forsake you.'" - 2 Chronicles 15:2

Asa was the king of Judah from 912-872 B.C. He reigned for 41 years and
was known as a good king who served the Lord with great zeal. He
reformed many things. He broke down idol worship to foreign gods; he
put away male prostitutes and even removed his own mother from being
queen because she worshiped an idol. The Scriptures say that as long as
he sought the Lord, the Lord prospered his reign.

However, Asa was not totally faithful in his calling. There came a time in his life when he made a decision to no longer trust in
the God of Israel. He lost his confidence in God as his deliverer. The
prophet Hanani came to Asa to inform him that God's blessing was no
longer on his life because of an ungodly alliance he had made.

Were not the Cushites and Libyans a mighty army with great numbers of chariots and horsemen? Yet when you relied on the Lord, He
delivered them into your hand. For the eyes of the Lord range
throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully
committed to Him. You have done a foolish thing, and from now on you
will be at war (2 Chronicles 16:8-9).

There are no guarantees that if we began well we will finish well. The life of Asa tells us this. It is only through God's grace
that we can be faithful to our calling. Each of us is capable of
falling away from God. Pray that God will keep you faithful to the
purposes He has for your life. He strengthens those whose hearts are
fully committed to Him.
