to be like elijah


courage is not the opposite of being afraid...courage is doing what's right despite being afraid.........i am so thankful for a pastor who preaches the Word of God.....who is not afraid to proclaim the truth that we are called to be different from the world....not like the world...... in today's churches that doesn't always seem to be the message.....so many want to sing the world's song, serve coffee like we are in starbucks just chillin.......they have made church indistinguishable from any other gathering around town on a sunday...
i want to possess the courage of an elijah....who went to Ahab and delivered a message from God...he didn't have a group of folks go with him...he didn't know there would be others that would stand by him...he just obeyed God and went to Ahab ..... announced there would be no rain, dew , until he said so.....
dare to be different...........
