God’s Garden – by F.F. Bosworth
A partial copy of an excellent sermon from his book “Christ the Healer”
“I did the planting, Apollos did the watering, bt it was God who made the seed grow … you are God’s field to be planted (1 Cor. 3:6-9 – Moffatt’s translation).
If you don’t praise God the blessing in your life will be limited.
One of the strongest expressions of faith in God is a life of praise. Praise in this case means saying or singing something good about the character of God – for example, saying or singing, “The LORD is good, and his mercy endures forever.” “God alone is wise”, “All his ways are just”.
It is the work of Satan to attack the character of God in our minds. Satan will point to the terrible results of the fall of man for proof that God is not good.
“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.” (John 4:23)
God is seeking something. The Bible says in another place that the eyes of the Lord run over the earth, looking for someone whose heart is completely devoted to Him. God wants to work strongly in that man or woman’s life. And God is seeking worshipers. Are they so hard to find? Men and women everywhere are worshiping. There are billions of religious people on the earth.
I am convinced that the Rapture of the Church
has taken place.
Thank You,

Michael are you gone
You know today I was feeling quite down and my wife suggested I listen to some worship music. I put on some lively praise music and it really did comfort me.
I heartily recommend this approach to anyone who is feeling too weak and tired to struggle on. Just let the music minister to you for a while.
Servant leaders take on leadership roles because they are convinced it is the best way for them to serve. If another person is better for the leadership role they will not desire to take the position. They are interested in taking on whatever role is most helpful. They are servants first and leaders second.
We can learn many techniques of leadership. We can learn ways to influence people in order to obtain a desired result.
But the basic question that should be asked is – why? Why do it?
If the desired end result is totally selfish – so that we can fulfil our material and ego needs – then our leadership will fall well short of the will of God.
Before you can lead people, you need to obtain the consent of the people who are to be led. People might follow you for any number of reasons – they could be assigned by someone else to work under your leadership, they might have decided that they want to be with you because they are attracted to you personally, or they may have bought into your vision.
I want this site to contain valuable resources for people who aspire to be effective leaders – whether it be in Christian ministry, in the marketplace, or in the family. While compiling this information, I am trusting that the Lord will quicken these principles to me as well, so that I can be as Christlike as possible.
Islamic militias in Baghdad and Mosul order Christians to pay the jizya, a poll tax which dates back to the period of the Ottoman Empire, which guaranteed non Muslims the right to practise their religion as well as Muslim protection; the groups are ordered “not to reveal their activities” to Iraqi authorities while all contributions are given in alms to the Mosques.
