He Is ( A Poem about Finding all that You Need)



He Is ( A Poem about Finding all that You Need)

He is the deepest desire that you long for
He is the love you have been searching for, the lover you long for
He is the retreat that you need and the giver of the rest you long for
He is the great stress reliever
He is what you were made for
He is what you miss and He can be found
He is the great healer and patience giver
He is what moves you forward in life and helps you not to look back
He is the great forgiver and He helps us forgive others
He is inspiration that inspires great art
He is the greatest that over takes us when you are inspired by the beauty of His creation
He is what you need when you are lonely, depressed, hurting, and looking for purpose
He is all that is good and all that you need
He is Jesus, search for Him and you will find Him , call out to Him and your voice will be heard

List of Suggestions for Church Website (From the point of view of someone looking for a church home)

Suggestions for Church's that want to grow. Currently I have been looking for a church home.I have been looking on church websites for info. This is a list info I find on Church websites that are helpful.
1. Services Times
2. "What The Church Believes Section" (It is OK if you put a copy of the baptist faith and message but also include a vision statement or mission statement) Do not just tell me your conservative ( explain what you mean by conservative).
3. Staff info page. (Pics are helpful, often a preacher with an inviting smile is helpful)
4. Updated Calendar. (No generic calendar that just have service times) for some reason most church website do not have updated calendars)
5. Driving Directions ( A link to mapquest is nice)
6. Video or Audio of sermons. This lets me get a feel for the service. Very Helpful
7. A Facebook page is helpful because you can read what church members are saying about the church.
8. A what to expect page. Tell me what the church is like, formal, informal, contemporary or traditional.
9. Finally, make sure the website has working links. Too many churches have unfinished websites and nonworking links.
