I made a home movie to highlight the heart of a volunteer. The idea was to show it in the church service but my lack of technical ability got the better of me and they couldn’t be shown.
So I’ve posted them here instead.
It’s the thought that counts!
When God develops your inner qualities, he’s never in a hurry.
Alan Redpath, the late Pastor of Moody Memorial Church, put it this way;
“The conversion of a soul is the miracle in a moment, the manufacture of a saint is the task of a lifetime.”
I spoke on the telephone this morning to a friend. I give him access to all areas of my life and it’s always great to communicate with him whether in person, on the phone or via email. He has access to all area’s on my life and although it’s sometimes uncomfortable, I value the accountability.
Accountability is an essential ingredient if you want to develop great character. If you don’t have it in your life, I recommend you get some soon.

The first installment in the EP diaries was viewed close to 100 times last week and I’ve received numerous emails and messages. I guess it’s hitting a spot for people, especially those in ministry.
This week is much of the same; sharing idea’s whilst giving an honest look inside the workings of a growing church in the UK. Your messages are always an inspiration and encouragement so keep them coming.
Enjoy The EP Diaries - week two.
