God Doesn't Disappoint!

Today is such a cold and dreary day…I know it’s that time of year, but I am never really ready for it. Cold, damp, dark… it is no wonder many people struggle with depression this time of year. Add to that the holiday shopping season which promises fulfillment in all kinds of toys that many cannot afford, along with a false sense of happiness on the faces of so many, and more and more people of all ages and backgrounds experience unfulfilled dreams that in effect cripple them. Some of them come to the church looking for answers and fulfillment, but unfortunately too many churches are operating outside the power of the Holy Spirit, lacking any power or hope at all, and it just deepens their depression. Remember God doesn’t disappoint (oh, you might think he does for a time, but just wait for the blessings of God’s will to occur in your life and see if it wasn’t greater than what you asked for). And if people are being hurt by a church doesn’t it reason that God is not there? I know those are hard words, but think about it a minute. Our God is a healer, yet too many people come out of churches hurt, crippled, or humiliated. Is that of God? I don’t think so. That is satan at work in a church and it’s sad to say, but in too many churches satan would be more comfortable (and welcome) than Christ.
