A Revolutionary Approach

Brothers and Sisters,
I would like to go so far as to suggest a revolutionary approach to the revitalization of the FUMC in Lott. I would like to suggest that we plan to implement a program to develop a deep sense of Spirituality in this church, to instill the spiritual passion Rev. Kemp refers to in his book, "Ezekial's Bones". I think this could be an example for us to follow in our home churches, as there is not so much inertia to overcome here. We could develop a culture of Prayer, expectant prayer, witness, evangelical witness, Bible Study, and passionate worship that not only would attract new attendance and growth, but help each of us involved in the process to grow in our own faith, and in our ability to share it in our home churches.
What if the church became a beacon of spiritual wholeness, filled with the Holy Spirit, and steeped in the Word of God, that many would come to see what a deep devotion to God can mean in our lives? What indeed? I think this could be our purpose in being chosen for this important work.
