The Ads, The Stepping Stones

I wanted to take a moment to explain a few things with the ads I ask you kind folks to click. First of all, I wanted to tell you that the ads are safe to click. I know a lot of people don't like to click them because of worry of viruses and stuffs, but the ads I ask you to click are fine. The ads are done by Google themselves. The company the ad is for, pays Google to host the ads, and put them into the grouping of ads for Google's adSense program. So when you click I get a little portion of the ads that Google is willing to pay me.

You see, I want to start doing what God wants me to do, not what I want to do. I do feel that I need to write more blogs and share all the greatness in God with anyone who can read it. What is being asked goes beyond just the blog, but I love it and it is a good tool in furthering God and his plan. So I ask you to click ads that down the road, I can go to part time at my day job and turn this blog and my life into a ministry for Jesus.

So please click an ad each time you visit. It will help me a lot. While sharing the blog with your friends will grow the people reading and then they too can click and share and we can all grow together.

I don't want to be one of the people that only talk about Jesus, I want to live for Him as well. I want to be hands working and feet moving. Too long have I just been an inactive member of an anonymous church in where people like to think that the community knows who they are. But truth is, I don't think many churches are known outside of the people that go there.

"Where do you go to church?" they ask,
"The church on such and such street." You reply, proud of the good deeds you have done.
"Where? I don't recall a church there." They stare at you confused. Surely they know your church. You do so much for them, rummage sales and free meals. Also it has been there for the last century virtually unchanged.
"The one on the corner next to that place." A dawning look appears on their face.
"Wait," the say, looking confused again, "That is a church there?"

From Twitter.
I think that is how many of the conversations about the churches in the rural areas go, people either don't know where you are, or didn't know it was a church. Times have changed, but the buildings we attend worship in haven't. Things are moving fast in the direction of science without God, and the churches are left with old hymnals with songs in there that many of the attendees don't even know anymore. And this is where I do not want to remain. I want to grow beyond what a building can do, and become what the hands and feet of God can do. God didn't even use his hands when he made the heavens and the earth, imagine the work he can do when he uses his hands as well. Imagine the whole body of God working as one and the kind of wonder that can change the world into what God wants.

If I can make this into a real job, and I do think I can with the support of all of you, I can finally do what I have always wanted as well as steps toward what God has always wanted for me. I want to take this blog further and farther than it has ever been before. I have toyed with the idea of starting a Podcast, but I need all the support I can get from those of you who have been with me since the start of this blog two years ago.

So please click some ads for me and keep sharing this blog. Because the future is exciting, we have found actual Gravity waves in space, NASA is planning and working on a mission to go to Europa, the sixth largest moon of Jupiter, but what is exciting more, is taking steps to follow God and stop walking in circles because I keep trying to follow my own steps. The ads are just stepping stones into something much greater.
