It is absolutely true that the work is worthless without the power of the Prince! but how? how do we access that power? will we feel it or just know looking back? Submitting and trusting in lifes circumstances, may they be a pebble or a boulder, is impossible by human nature alone. I am grateful that though I am facing a landslide of boulders... my human nature does not stand alone. But I have to be honest, Sometimes I feel His presence & power.. sometimes I do not. Knowing He is with me either way helps but the desperation seems to flood over me and almost groute the boulders into place. Power...oh how I pray that His power would shake the earth like in prison for Paul & Silas..and shatter the boulders... I guess the real ? is am I willing to stay & wait on the Spirit, or will I escape the pain at the soonest opportunity. I am certainly trying to wait, trying to submit & surrender. I pray that is enough.. (Sorry for my soapbox) Keep pluggin along BP, I sure do appreciate you. Abide..wait…easier said than done.

It's crazy to see this video, because I grew up seeing all that change and it is great to be back at Northridge. I remember every single one of those Christmas cards being up on my grandparents fridge. Its been amazing to see how God has blessed the ministry and will continue to. Making His name known.

Let us keep in mind the the church in the U.S. has a long way to go in it's compassion and seeing the needs of others at home and around the world. After reading T.H.I.O.G. I was embarassed at our inaction as a member of the church in America. Today I am proud to be a part of what could/might be a catalyst and model for other churches. Wouldn't it be great if we began to be competetive to see who could "give and serve" the most rather than competing to "get" the most. God's spirit is moving, we need to "catch the wave".

You rarely stumble in your presentation, you are almost flawless sometimes. We love you, but we have almost made it a game to "catch Brad mess up". I am sure you don't feel that way at all, but I think God wanted to throw a little pebble in the path just to remind us all that even though we have this magnificent church, with a nearly flawless public speaker as a pastor, and an amazing group of people who are changing lives around the world, we are going to stumble. And sometimes, the stumbles are just not going to be our fault. I stumble all of the time. And I am proud of it, because it shows I have character. If we didn't have mishaps as a church, we would be too perfect. So, delight in the fact that the church recovered from the power outage with grace, and enjoy the fact that if you mess up during a sermon, someone out there is loving the fact that you are, indeed, human!
