Dorme em paz esta noite. Deus é maior do que qualquer coisa que vais enfrentar amanhã.
Sleep in peace tonight. God is bigger than anything you will face tomorrow.

O Barman E O Pregador # The Bartender And The Preacher
Isto pode parecer um pouco exagerado para ti, mas, na verdade, existem semelhanças distintas entre um bar de bairro e uma igreja! O quê? Bem, em ambos os lugares:
* As pessoas vão procurar companheirismo;
* As pessoas querem ir onde outras conhecem o seu nome;
* As pessoas querem ir onde são aceites;
* As pessoas querem ir onde os seus espíritos são levantados;
* As pessoas estão unidas à volta de um tema;
* As pessoas vão onde gostam da música.
Como um pastor, o barman serve ouvindo os problemas das pessoas. Mas as diferenças são profundas. O bar está centrado nas bebidas e a igreja está centrada em Jesus Cristo. O bar oferece uma maneira de escapar os problemas. A igreja oferece uma maneira de enfrentá-los, passá-los e superá-los. O espírito dentro do bar baixa a guarda quando se trata de tentação e pecado. O Espírito da igreja verdadeira encoraja as pessoas a deixarem o pecado e a voltarem-se para Deus.
O bar pode ser um substituto para o ambiente da igreja, mas nunca se compara no dar o sentido e o propósito encontrados numa igreja centrada em Cristo.
~ Hebreus 10:25

This may seem a bit far-fetched to you, but in reality, there are distinct similarities between a neighborhood bar and a church! What? Well, in both places:
* People come looking for fellowship;
* People want to go where others know their name;
* People want to go where they are accepted;
* People want to go where their spirits will be lifted;
* People are united around one theme;
* People go where they like the music.
Like a pastor, the bartender serves by listening to people’s troubles. But the differences are profound. The bar is centered on booze and the church is centered on Jesus Christ. The bar offers a way to escape problems. The church offers a way to face them, get through them, and overcome them. The spirit inside the bar lowers one’s guard when it comes to temptation and sin. The Spirit of the true church encourages people to turn from sin and turn to God.
The bar may be a substitute for the environment of the church, but it never comes close to providing the meaning and purpose found in a Christ-centered church.
~ Hebrews 10:25

Keith & Kristyn Getty - The Lord Is My Salvation ... ♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫
The grace of God has reached for me
And pulled me from the raging sea
And I am safe on this solid ground
The Lord is my salvation
I will not fear when darkness falls
His strength will help me scale these walls
I’ll see the dawn of the rising sun
The Lord is my salvation
Who is like the Lord our God?
Strong to save, faithful in love
My debt is paid and the vict’ry won
The Lord is my salvation
My hope is hidden in the Lord
He flow’rs each promise of His Word
When winter fades I know spring will come
The Lord is my salvation
In times of waiting, times of need
When I know loss, when I am weak
I know His grace will renew these days
The Lord is my salvation
Who is like the Lord our God?
Strong to save, faithful in love
My debt is paid and the vict’ry won
The Lord is my salvation
And when I reach my final day
He will not leave me in the grave
But I will rise,
He will call me home
The Lord is my salvation
Who is like the Lord our God?
Strong to save, faithful in love
My debt is paid and the vict’ry won
The Lord is my salvation
Glory be to God the Father
Glory be to God the Son
Glory be to God the Spirit
The Lord is our salvation
Who is like the Lord our God?
Strong to save, faithful in love
My debt is paid and the vict’ry won
The Lord is my salvation
Não trates as pessoas da forma como elas te tratam. Trata as pessoas da forma como Deus te trata.
Don't treat people the way they treat you. Treat people the way God treats you.
