Pink Camellias, Almond blossoms and Sedum..

The gardens are all looking resplendent with Spring flowers.
The weather is cold and it is raining, but then the plants need rain to keep up their magnificent display of colour.
I went to the last part of the Alpha course at the Baptist church this morning.
I had to rush as I slept in!
Nicky Gambel is great at telling stories and recalling memories of his early enthusiasm as a Christian.
He gave five Ps to help listeners to make progress as they share the Good News.
These are Christian PRESENCE, be salt and light in a world where not everyone has a loving walk with Jesus.
See Matthew 5 11-16.
PERSUASION: use the power of gentle persuasion.
PROCLAMATION:invite people to a meal at your home, Church is not necessarily the first place to take a budding convert.
POWER:
The Power of the Holy Spirit can be gentle or very transformative, and heal the blind, deaf and lame. Watch godtv.
The Holy Spirit changed the lives of the early Christians in a very visible way, eg speaking in foreign languages and doing healing in the name of Jesus.
Some transformations can be less obvious and involve a slow dawning of God consciousness and a gradual journey towards Christ.
Being a Christian should be joyful and loving and very sure of salvation through taking Jesus as your Saviour.
Have a great weekend blipper friends.
