Just a thought..Hopefully no one gets offended.

II Corinthians 4:18 NLT:

"So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever."

(I like this version (NLT?) rather than the KJV because this makes more sense...so hopefully none of you mind..and if so, then go read the other version and tell me if that makes sense.)

As I was reading this verse, I was thinking, our church needs to read it, understand it, and apply it to our own lives. We all need to stop being so concerned about ourselves and put the focus on God and trust that everything that is happening in the church right now is God’s will. We don’t need to change it or put it in our own hands. I’m so sick of seeing people walk away from our church because they think it’s not of God’s will. NEWSFLASH: God put Bro. Bobo in our church for a reason! If he wasn’t supposed to be there, then we would have some stranger in his place, and I’m sure everyone would be complaining about him just as well. Fact of the matter is, is that we could have had anyone, but obviously God has a work for our church, which is why Bro. Bobo is there. Some may not understand why, and some may not even like it, but we need to stand hand in hand with him and trust God, let Him take care of everything, and watch what God has in store for Hope Center.

If you don’t like it, well...pray through! I’m not trying to be rude, but it’s the truth.

Remember this quote:
"The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God cannot protect you"
