Moving Out to Move In

Today is called Labour Day' in the Philippines. It is a national holiday where everyone takes a break from their labours and has a good rest. Not at Cornerstone Church! We have rented a new Office and Conference Hall at a new building in Santiago and today we were moving everything from one place to another. So it was on with the working clothes - taking down all the lights, cleaning every room, carrying the chairs down three storeys, dismantling the aircons etc. Not much of a holiday.

But .. try telling our members that! They were so happy (see Pastor Jun with some of the Youth after scraping the floor for 2 hrs at 38 degrees!) On Sunday I challenged them about 'New Things' and that God was only moving us out of somewhere because He wanted us to go somewhere better. They caught the vision and worked like Trojans! People are energised by vision.

We enjoyed our 2 years at our old building .. but it is time to move on. God is not a God of disorder but a God of perfect timing. Don't be ahead of him and please don't be behind. Don't try opening and shutting every door that comes your way. He will lead you out AND lead you in. Wait for Him and remember .. only fools rush in!

Psalm 40: 1,5

I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.
