A couple of years ago I was listening to one of my favorite "radio" pastors and he made a statement that has stuck with me. To me it was challenging and exciting all at the same time. His question/challenge went something like this--"Are you simply reading the Book of Acts or are you believing and living the Book of Acts?" Wow. He went on to ask if your simply reading the Bible or are you living the Bible. That really challenged me. When I'm reading the Bible what am I thinking. Do I believe the God of the Bible lives today? Or is it just a bunch of stories that was good for it's time and those things can't really happen today.
Well, I don't know about you, but I BELIEVE! The same God that performed all those signs and miracles IS the same God that LIVES today!
The other day I was at a pastor's prayer meeting and I felt God direct me to the Book of Acts. In particular Chapter 2;41,47. Verse 47 ends with this statement--"And the LORD added to their number daily those who were being saved." I believe!
I believe God desires to add to His numbers daily. I believe God desires to add DAILY those in Cheyenne who are being saved. I believe it. I've seen it. But here's the catch--I believed it BEFORE I saw it happen. I have been praying, and will continue to pray, daily for those that are lost to find LIFE in Jesus Christ.
One of the blogging pastors that I've really connected with recently talked about that very thing.http://johnatkinson.typepad.com/pastor_john_atkinson/2007/10/ill-believe-it-.html. Read it. Hope it challenges you and encourages you like it did me.

Awesome post on that link man!
I would like to make a suggestion; have a link on each pastors blog page to the other pastors page. That way you don't have to close and go back to the home page. I enjoy reading each pastors blog.
