In a conversation yesterday I made the comment that other churches weren't the competition that we were facing. As the conversation continued it was decided that this weekend we would lift up several of the churches for prayer in our community. One of them of the same denomonitation and several others that were of differant denominations. As I have been thinking about it now this morning I wonder how people will respond to those prayers. One of those churches is now home to a number of people who once were a part of SJ. I know though that in the process of many people leaving to attend that church it became very necessary for me to pray for that church, their pastor's, and leaders or I would have become very bitter and negative. So I hope that others can embrace that prayer as well.
If the Kingdom of God wins than all who believe win! Why is it so hard for us to get that and truly embrace it?

Makes a lot of sense. I wonder if this is another example of the Kingdom dynamic of having more of something that we give away?
