Bragging on the Church

I feel we have the best church around. I know I'm biased, yet our service this past Sunday night made me proud. Our church is not just a building, but it is people who really love one another. The Spirit was really high last night through out the whole service. My wife, Paul had come and she was feel really bad. Our pastor and saints, stopped the normal flow of the service to minister to my wife and love and encourage her. That's all it took. The power of God's love flowed through everyone in the church. Even those who had not been coming long, came an prayed with a heart of love of compassion. They not only prayed for my wife, they came and prayed for me, understanding what a load I have been under. This caused the whole church to really unify themselves. Our pastor Bro Wayne, exhorted a little and had Paula testify, as best she could. Then instead of dismissing service, he said there were others who lives needed to be touched, just like mine. He told the congregation, who ever needed to be dismissed they were free to go and then called for those who wanted prayer to come in the altar. The whole church flooded the altar, and what started with my wife, broke out for everyone. That's God at work. That is taking the scripture when one rejoices we all rejoice and when one weeps we all weep. That is comforting and caring for those weaker than us. What a great testimony for our church. I am looking for great things from the Mission.
