Quote of the day#3

"If you're not growing, if you're not walking with Jesus; if you're not being challenged by Jesus, if you're not learning from Jesus; if you're not receiving the forgiveness and restoration and mercy of Jesus, if you're not paying attention: Then even the past fruit of your life will shrivel up and blow away. See the Christian life is either growing or dying. And most people who think they're standing still are dying; they're dying. It's grow or die. And those who pay attention grow.These words are life, they really are. But you have to pay attention. You have to kneel before a king, not rub your chin and take advice from a good teacher. And when we're doing that a change will happen, it just will. Not because we're pursing change. Converts will happen not even because we're pursing converts; because we're pursing Jesus. Change happens because you pursue Jesus not because you pursue change. Discipleship happens not because you're pursuing discipleship but because you're pursuing Jesus."~Sharad Yadav (my Pastor!)

Pastor Sharad Yadav of Nampa Bible Church

We're going to a church here in Nampa called Nampa Bible Church. Sharad Yadav is the pastor of the church. His sermons are amazing. I walk into church, weary and heavy laden from the week, and hungry for Christ. I leave the church fed and full to the brim. I'm filled with encouragement to go on with another week. Mr. Yadav's sermons are always Christ centered. He really thinks things through before he just comes to the conclusion about something. We found out about Nampa Bible church because somehow my Mom came across Mr. Yadav's blog.

------------>CLICK<----------------- That should take you to his blog. Oh and F.Y.I. He's quit blogging. (I think) He hasn't blogged on his blog in like a year or two. BUT, what he HAS blogged is good. Hope ya like.

*Love*
