A sermon by Apostle Randy Morgan of New Covenant Christian Church in Atlanta, GA
From the SNN Library 3/20/10-Loving God When You Don't Love the Church
Ever been hurt by some in church, or even worse, by the church itself? This book will help that not close the door on your relationship with God, which is what really matters anyway.
Amazon.com ratings: 1 user gave it 4 out of 5 stars
SNN rating: 4 stars
What do you do when you can't go back? When you have been hurt by fellow church members, it can seem as if you have nowhere to turn. Those who are supposed to bring you comfort are the ones who brought you pain. Whether you have been wounded by a pastor or by someone in the pew, it can be hard to heal. Pastor Chris Jackson is honest about his own failings as well as those of the Church at large. In Loving God When You Don't Love the Church, he opens up the path to healing and helps restore the wonder of a genuine relationship with Jesus' Bride. With humility, compassion and practical advice for healing and restoration, this book will touch those who have been hurt by the church and those who love them. "An amazing exposé that addresses critical issues of our day with wisdom instead of sarcasm, with truths that heal and with love that confronts. For once we have a book that speaks truth with grace."--Dr. James W. Goll, Encounters Network; author, The Seer, The Coming Prophetic Revolution and The Lost Art of Intercession "I can assure you that you will experience the heart of God through the pages of this book. Healing will come to your soul in the places where you have been wounded by the church."--from the foreword by Dutch Sheets, senior pastor, Freedom Church "Our generation is filled with those who love the Gospel but hate the Church, who cling to Jesus but who can barely tolerate His Bride. Chris Jackson shows us a path to healing."--Stephen Mansfield, The Mansfield Group "What a timely message for the Church! This book provides words of healing and perspective for those who have been wounded or who have become disillusioned."--Stan Fleming, GateBreaker Ministries Chris Jackson has served as executive pastor of Freedom Church in Colorado Springs since 2000. He is the co-author, with Dutch Sheets, of Praying through Sorrows and Second in Command.

Encouraging Words 3/20/10 Patience Worketh Perfection
From: Love Worth Finding
“But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” James 1:4
Patience worketh perfection. When was the last time you asked God to make you perfect? Maybe you should have asked for patience, as well, because it is only through patient, abiding faith and trust in the Lord that we become perfect.
A lot of people confuse this word “perfect” with “sinless.” The Greek word for perfect in James 1:4 is teleios, and it refers to a maturing growth. For example, an oak tree is the teleios of an acorn. It is the perfection of an acorn.
So when you’re feeling discouraged and feeling a little blue, take a look at a mighty oak and see what a nut can do.
Take a walk this week enjoying the beauty of God’s creation and ask Him to give you the patience and faith that can turn a little acorn into a mighty oak.

Encouraging Words 3/19/10 Pray to Be Heard of God Not People
From: Love Worth Finding
“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.” Matthew 6:5
There was a young professional waiting for a meeting when he heard someone walking down the hallway. Thinking that this could be a potential client, he picked up the telephone and pretended to be having a high-power conversation.
By this time, the footsteps had stopped at his desk. Looking up he asked, “What may I do for you?” The man before him replied, “I’m from the telephone company. I’ve come to hook up your phone.”
Prayer is the same way. The prayer that gets our Savior’s attention comes from the heart and not from the head to be heard by men. Prayers to impress people are one-way conversations.
Find a quiet place in your home where you can be alone with the Lord every day for a special time of communion with the Him. He is waiting for you there.

Encouraging Words 3/18/10 Why is There Suffering in the World?
From: Love Worth Finding
“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:36
“If there is a God and that God is a good God, then why is there suffering?” “What kind of a God is it that has created evil?” Ever heard those comments before? Ever made them yourself?
You’re not alone. Many people have thought the same thing. But that’s not straight thinking. Let me tell you the way it truly is.
God did not create evil. God created perfection. God made man perfectly free, and freedom therefore gave rise to evil. In order to love, we must be free to choose to love. Then, in order to choose to love, we have to be able to choose not to love.
Which kind of love do you want from others? A forced love or a free love? Which sounds better, “I love you” or “I have to love you”?

Encouraging Words 3/17/10 Dead to Sin, Alive to Christ
From: Love Worth Finding
“Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:11
A woman woke up one morning, and noticed that she felt like she had just gone to sleep. She said, “It can’t be six o’clock in the morning!”
But the radio said it was six. The clock said it was six. The sunrise said it was six. Now, I submit to you: it really didn’t matter how she felt, did it?
Sometimes we respond the same way when it comes to our salvation. We need to get our salvation out of the realm of fickle emotions and begin to reckon and count on God’s facts.
Each morning when you wake up, begin by saying, “I am dead to sin. I am alive in Christ. I know it’s a fact, He died for me. Now I reckon it!”
Look up the word “reckon” in the dictionary. Are you reckoning yourself dead to sin and alive to Christ? If not, begin to do so today.

Encouraging Words 3/16/10 Grumbling or Grateful
From: Love Worth Finding
“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.” Psalm 100:4
One day, there was a preacher on a train. He saw a well-dressed man and magnificently dressed woman with expensive jewelry. This woman was complaining about everything – the train ride, the weather, the news, the food, the service.
The preacher decided to engage this couple in a conversation. He asked the man what kind of business he was in and the man told him. Then he asked, “And what does your wife do?”
The man replied, “Oh, she’s in the manufacturing business. She manufactures her own unhappiness.”
You know, there are a lot of people like that today. They manufacture their own misery because they fail to be grateful. Only Christ can turn our lives around and stir up a grateful heart within us.
Go through the alphabet and thank the Lord for something beginning with each letter and choose to be grateful.

Encouraging Words 3/15/10 The Value of a Soul
From: Love Worth Finding
“Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold,...but with the precious blood of Christ.” 1 Peter 1:18-19
I was talking to a man who sold real estate and asked him, “What determines the worth of a piece of property?” He said, “What a person is willing to pay for it.”
In other words, it doesn’t matter how much you paid for it yourself. It’s what another person is willing to pay to have it for himself or herself.
That makes me want to shout! You and I must be worth something if Jesus would pay His life to have us for His own. Jesus is the proof of how much we’re worth.
Do you know how much you weigh? Call a jeweler or a bank today and ask how much your weight is worth in gold. Then realize there’s no comparison to your worth in blood … the blood of Jesus Christ.
