Searching One

Dear Judy,

I worship with a loving group of people, but I think I'm outgrowing most of them, spiritually. I want more from my relationship with the Lord than what is being presented to me where I am. How will I know when it's the right time to move on?

Dear Searching One,

This is a hard question to answer because worship means to serve, have adoration, and reverence. All parts of the service are worship so when you feel you are outgrowing them spiritually, it may be time to rethink if you are where you belong, just as you are doing.

It is wonderful to have a fellowship that is loving and worships the Lord together, but we also need a pastor who is challenging us from the pulpit to become who God wants us to become. We are to be challenged to touch those who do not know the Lord to come to Jesus Christ, our only hope. We must be challenged to rise higher in the spirit of God, to know the spiritual realm and know the earthly from the spiritual. If this is not taking place where you followship, then the Holy Spirit will lead you elsewhere to equip you in this dynamic. Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit!

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” Ephesians 4:11,12

Wondering

By Dr. Judy Baus • 01 Jan, 2023

Does it matter which Bible version is used? The New International Version is easier to read than the King James Version, but the Amplified Bible gives better descriptions. Thank you!

Believer

Dear Judy, I want to first say, Judy, I love the Lord! But I’m having trouble keeping out thoughts of despair as I watch the news every day. The shooting of innocent people coming out of nowhere. How to cope?

Add to not Take away!

By Dr. Judy Baus • 11 Dec, 2019

This is the first month in a New Year and I am sure we all made some declaration for this New Year which wholes new beginnings if we will allow them to be. Instead of giving up I always add something to my walk with the Lord and when I do that it seems to take care of what I should give up or change.
