A Word From Our Executive Director - May 16, 2012 |
 Here we are, in the middle of the month of May, the month ACGC has designated for an emphasis on prayer. Hopefully, you have seen the packet of information that was sent out to all our churches in North America. That same material and more are available on line through our website at www.acgc.us/prayer. In an attempt to keep as many as possible focused on the importance of the spiritual discipline of prayer, I have been using Twitter® to post a daily quote from some recognized sources and leaders on prayer. One of my past posts was a quote from R. Arthur Matthew: “The spiritual history of a mission or church is written in its prayer life.” |

IF Update - May 16, 2012 |
|
I live in a world where everybody is focused on the future. Some are planning for what they will do in the future; some are preparing themselves for the evil they think is coming. On the other hand, there are many who think little of the future because they live in the past. These folks are wishing they had made better choices in the past, or they are dealing with the consequences of behavior in the past that is now impacting their lives in the present. I find few people who are truly living in the present, making the most of every decision and action today. |
