Wayne and Sara,

I wish to thank you for all the ways you have blessed me on my journey through your teachings, podcasts, books, audios, etc. It is no accident that I connected to your website through your book, “So You Don’t Want To Go to Church Anymore”. It has been very timely when I was seeking intimacy with God. I sense Sara’s compassion in her responses the few times I sent some e-mails. I appreciate that. I am grateful for all that you have done and continue to do even in this season of your life. God bless you, Wayne and Sara.

Wayne, I have really appreciated your words and teaching over the years. I have also had a brief chance to talk with Sarah over the phone when ordering some books. I pray for deep healing and blessing for you both. Have a great trip to France and Ireland and enjoy the time together.

Somehow for me, this is devotedly moving to read, with a tinge of pain and hope. My prayers and best wishes to both of you, especially Sara.

What hope this brings me! …and a continued trust in God, who is working in my own heart and in our marriage also. We can trust Him who is true, and who is light, to ultimately bring us into a more glorious place than we ever knew was possible!
You have no idea how timely it is for me to read this note, this morning. One of the thoughts on my mind the last few days (and I don’t remember who said it first) is that “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. I am learning that this journey we are on with God (which engages us with others) is less about “experiences” and more about keeping on just taking the next step. May our sweet Lord bless you both immensely in all your “steps”.

Just came back from the meeting in Leerdam, the netherlands, I was very happy to be there. It was good to hear the message of the cross in such a condensed form, and was pretty surprised at how simple you told it. Thanks wayne, and the others for asking good questions. I was also happily surprised the offering basket was put by the exit, so as not to feel obligated and ashamed of opening your wallet, and “hiding your offering”. Hope to meet you guys in the future again.

It just makes me really happy to know that you’re there, Wayne, with my friends and friends of my friends! Would that we could have had you visit us in Kazakhstan back when we were still there! I’m blessed just knowing what a blessing you are to those dear believers!

Love the cover of “He Loves Me” Russian version. I imagine seeing that painting in person will be something special.

Thanks for sharing about your brother and what it personally means to you. That is really really good stuff. I’m looking forward to hearing more.

“God’s work unfolds in us as we learn to respond to him each day. You cannot follow him by meeting a list of expectations and obligations. You can only only follow him by… (wait for it!), following him! He wants to show all of us how to know him, listen to him, follow his nudges and watch the process of his glory unfold in us.”

That’s it in a nutshell.

Have a wonderful time in Russia,Wayne.

Wayne have a marvelous trip, you are fulfilling the answer to your brothers prayers. God is so FAITHFUL!

I came back from S.A. two weeks early, my father in law was sick, but around Easter the Lord told me he would pass near the anniversary of TED’s death the 19th of April it was 19 years since he died of AIDS. I hopped a plane home, got to kc in time to go to his bedside and be with him as he passed into heaven. You this is part of why I do what I do I feel nobody should die alone. So there we were my daughter, myself and my niece and then the next morning able to help my mother in law with arrangements. back to kc for kelli’s youngests birthday and to pick up Ben from S.C, then back for memorial on Sunday and then back to KC on Monday and home to Wichita on Tuesday. Today ( a week since boarding the airplane home) God definately made a way and ordered my footsteps. So faithful, I even knew when my outreach came back to S.A. so I booked a round trip, now hoping they can move my return trip to October and….I made it!

You have a wonderful time, it is so cool to see your books in other languages…. and Love and living Loved is so desparately what the world needs now.

Blessings,
Penny

Me — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:08:36 +0000

Yes, I agree. At the same time, we are called to submit to one another out of reverence for Christ and to speak the truth to one another in love. Through the Holy Spirit, we encourage one another to rise – also by the power of the Holy Spirit – to God’s standard of holiness, which is perfect. Even if we are not perfect, our goal is to continually grow and yield to the Spirit within us, so that as much of God’s perfection as possible can shine through us to the glory of God. We are called to do these things while offering one another a lot of grace and love. If someone corrects us out of a critical spirit, we can still ask God to search our hearts and be willing to yield to His work in us, cultivating a love for the truth, even if we are only able to receive the grace is supposed to accompany that truth from God alone. If someone speaks the truth to us out of a heart filled with love and grace, we can trust that God wants what is best for us, those around us, and Himself, and that he speaks through others on our behalf with this in mind. If we allow no room in our lives to receive and respond to truth that comes through our fellow believers, that is a problem. God bless you Wayne. You have been one of the most influential people in my life. I hate religion too, and I am on your side. Enjoy your trip to Russia!

No problem Wayne. I was trying to say one final thank you before I was nowhere to be found.

I appreciate that some of you have connected here with some real encouragement for each other. I’ve let this go on much longer that seems appropriate for this blog because I was hopeful that at some point you would take this connection to another venue. This is not a chat room, it is a blog and comments on that blog that people can read. Please don’t take this as a rebuke. It isn’t. It’s just an appeal to take the ongoing dialog to a different venue, especially when it no longer has to do with the blog itself. There are many ways for the folks that are involved in a conversation here to take it to a chat room or email loop that allows you to communicate with each other. I hope you receive this in the spirit it was intended. I would be very grateful…

Me, I also have had to face a lot of fears. today they have been faced, with one left to be done.
When I was 14 my sister Sue died on an overdose at 18 years of age. This took a long time to get over this and past this, along with many other things that occured after this beginning of Satan wanting to sift me like wheat, but as Jesus said to Peter, hey Peter Satan wishes to sift you like wheat, yet I pray for you and when you return (learn) YOU WILL STRENGTHEN THE BRETREN.
This is for you as well and as many that believe. You will learn what perfect love is and that will cast out all fear. Who can stand against when God is for you. From God’s vantage point you have been made perfect forever and holy forever in God’s sight. For God only sees through his Son Jesus Christ unto you, you, and you. God who knows no sin can now work with each believer personally, teaching them how to walk in the Spirit continuously, knowing no fear. Facing reality for reality. For there is nothing I can do about my Sister, my dad, my brother, my mother for they all have past on.
I am no longer hurt over it. Because today I have welcomed them all to their new location and I am at rest here. Then there are those that have done me wrong, okay I finaly realized that is on them. Then there are those that I have done wrong. So I searched out forgiveness from those that I could find and asked those for it. Not all forgave and no one had to forgive, but I had to be free from the wrongs I had done to others. So today I am free with one last thing to settle, and that is on its way.
You see we are already forgiven by god period. So this is why I went to seek forgiveness from those I hurt. Since God had already forgiven me before I was ever born. The holy Spirit put it on my heart. Today I am glad I listened. Sister you do whatever it is on your heart. It might hurt like peeling an onion, yet when you reach the center it is so sweet and freeing Love Howard

I didn’t mean ALL my feelings. Just the ones that are a reflection of my sin.

Just wanted to say thank you again, Howard, for being receptive to the Holy Spirit. Your agreement by the Holy Spirit really encouraged and supported me in obeying God. I’m also aware that the agreement was made available for God’s sake and had nothing to do with me, and there was teaching that flowed out of you for a purpose. My husband encouraged me a lot to obey God and speak up, too, even though he had other things that required his focus. That support really helped. In my first comment, I was confessing my struggle with the fear of man and with wanting approval from spiritual leaders. In the others, God was giving me the grace to risk that approval and to overcome the fear of man, in spite of my weakness. Just goes to show us that when we feel we don’t have it within us to do what God is asking us to do, the will and the grace and the strength we need is provided to us by the Holy Spirit. I am thankful for grace and encouragement from God in spite of my fear, but my prayer is still that God will transform my heart and help me “get over it!” But every step is a step forward, and this challenge in obedience helped me grow. (I know that I’m an anonymous person on here, but behind the anonymity, I’m still a person with feelings. God, PLEASE! Help me get over those FEELINGS! haha )
