Hello, this is Graham Cook. Welcome to the Brilliant Perspective's Podcast.

Thanks for joining me for today's podcast. I've been noticing that thousands and

thousands of people are leaving the church, but it's not because they don't love

God, they actually really do. They're just searching for something else.

Perhaps they're searching for God's original intention for the church.

I also wonder what on earth the church is listening to when it relates to the world.

The church is the only organization on earth that exists for the benefit of its non-members.

Isn't that a wild thought? I love the church because of its

designs non-members, is not a wild thought? I love the church because its designs are to be a redeemed community

in a reconciled society.

So what does that look like and how can we go about creating those

types of relationships? To explore this more I have a clip for you that looks at how we can become a viable

spiritual community.

Why is it do you think that when God hears the world he hears something different than we do.

We serve someone who listens to the secret things in our hearts.

It doesn't listen to the image that we give out.

It doesn't listen to the stuff that we say to bolster our

confidence or make ourselves look good. It's so much better than that.

He doesn't listen to the cussing and the swearing

and the language we use when we're angry or anything else,

or defending ourselves or lying.

Now God who ever lives to make intercession, he listens to different things.
