Last weekend, Megan, Kayley and I tried out a new church in the area. During the service, Pastor Bennett said something that really got me thinking about the awesome power and grace of God. He said that out of all the words in the Bible; there are two words that standout above all the rest...
BUT GOD
Those two words have an amazing impact on all of our lives. In fact, those are life changing words.
BUT GOD gave us the gift of life...
BUT GOD gave us a second chance to defeat sin...
BUT GOD sent His only Son so that we may have eternal life...
BUT GOD showed us His love and Grace...
BUT GOD forgives us of our sins...
BUT GOD can heal your broken heart...
BUT GOD can give you the strength to continue on...
BUT GOD comforts our souls in times of need and despair...
BUT GOD knows the story of your life and the plans that He has for you...
BUT GOD gives us examples of caregivers and a servants heart...
BUT GOD shows us the power of believing...
BUT GOD can change the world...
BUT GOD can turn darkness into light...
BUT GOD can change the heart of man...
BUT GOD opens up His arms and allows us to find rest in Him...
And most importantly:
BUT GOD so loved the world that He sent His only Son so that we may have eternal life with Him in the Kingdom of God.

why are you trying out a new church?
I like the church we have been going to, but something just doesn't feel right.
I think their focus has changed from attracting people based on Biblical teachings to worrying about the "WOW" factor and creating a coffee house appearance.
More people talked to us and introduced themselves to us in one Sunday service than almost three years at our current church.
I want to feel connected as a community, not just feel as though I exist.
I'm not throwing in the towel, I'm just testing the water.
