God Bless the Nigerians

-

What is the common denominator in the following locations?
* Nigeria *Zimbabwe
* Kenya * Jamaica
* Tanzania * Ukraine
* Ghana * England

Answer: The largest church in these nations is pastored by a Nigerian!

Perhaps the American Church could learn a lesson or two from our brothers and sisters in Nigeria about the meaning of Acts 1:8.

O.K. -- they're all Word of Faith Pentecostal -- and those in the broader evangelical camp will likely look down their noses and "dis" (disapprove with disrespect) their inadequate theology and excessive practices.

That reminds me of D.L. Moody's critic who said, "I don't like your method of evangelism."
"Oh," Moody replied, "and what is your method of evangelism?"
"I don't have one." said the critic.
"I like mine better than yours." Moody responded.

Instead of carping and criticizing, we should learn a thing or two from the Nigerians about evangelism, revival, and reaching the masses.

Could this be a solution to the rapid spread of militant Islam?

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
