"Any raising of the heart to God"...

Thursday night Biscuet shared from his heart how crucial it is to spend time in prayer. Prayer has been defined as "any raising of the heart to God". We learned that we can raise our hearts to God while we're walking to class, sitting in a coffee shop, watching tv... we can have ceaseless conversation with God no matter what is going on around us. When we allow God to be a part of our every-day activities, our prayers simply become a seamless conversation with the living God. We also learned that there is another kind of prayer, a much deeper, more intimate time. This is the type of prayer Jesus was speaking of in Matthew when He said, "find a quiet, secluded place" to have One-on-one dialogue with the Father. In these times, we can be honest with God about who we are and how we feel. Through our honesty, He is able to peel away our flesh and transform us according to the truth of who He's created us to be. We want to hear your thoughts on prayer. Are you struggling to find that seamless conversation with God? Are you floored by the intimate times that only you and He have shared? Are you rejoicing over the flesh that He is stripping away and the truth that He is revealing? Share your heart. Share specifics or share the big picture. We are so encouraged by your responses. What a blessing for our community to be able to share in the greatness of what God is doing in our lives! - gcm

A heart for the Nations...

This week at encounter, Matt Browning spoke about the need and urgency for people to go overseas. If you missed it then check in at the media section of www.gracecampus.net and the message will be online soon. He emphasized that there are more than 6,000 unreached people groups in the world. These are people that have never had a chance to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ! What does it look like for us as comfortable American's to be broken and burdened for those that have never heard of Jesus? Do you have a desire to see the fame of Jesus spread to the whole world? How does that happen? Can we really make an impact? Add your comments. Let us know about your passion for Jesus that overflows to a passion for missions. What have been your experiences overseas? What have you seen or heard that could encourage our community to make a difference for His Namesake? Also, feel free to continue to tell us your story by commenting on last week's post. A few people have told some amazing stories and we continue to be encouraged with each new comment. For His Name, gcm
