This week, all my musical instruments got sold. I will meet the buyers in person. It is indeed time to let go. Letting go something is uncomfortable, but I count it all lost to gain Christ!
I'm so grateful that even on this thing, God gives me grace. Though I feel sad, but I have peace knowing this is the right thing to do.
It has been 5 years since I last use my musical gift to serve the church. Since returning to UK, I wasn't given the opportunity to serve with my gift in the church, despite using your gifts is being preached again and again from the pulpit, but when I offered help, or expressed my willingness to serve, they ignored me. I'm not only talking about music here, but also in various different areas.
I've been part of many different churches in many different countries and can't help to observe and compare. Sadly, from my observation, UK churches is the worst!
Often I think if salvation is of me, I will fall away from witnessing what I see in churches here but the good news is the Lord keeps me!
I know there will be no perfect church in this side of eternity, but as Christ's church we should have desire to be continually reforming, to be Biblical, and to do things His way. At least live what you preach! Sadly what I have been witnessing is rampant hypocrisy, and lethargy. They will claim Sola Scriptura, yet Sola 'Cultura' is the reality I see in the church. So comfortable in its own traditions and routines.
I know the Lord is working something out in this land. He'll have mercy to whom He'll have mercy. He revives the heart of His people and His promises are sure! I always remind myself of that truth.
