Genuine Christan life

To land in a country after 2 year, like we do now into Sweden, takes some time to adjust. New words and new ways of living have to be discovered. Both matters and persons have changed, but the basic needs are the same.

Yesterday morning I took the road towards Copenhagen. Before entering up on the long bridge to Denmark a signboard said: ”Last exit in Sweden”. I took that and found Hyllie Park Church in Malmö.

The subject for the service was: “To be genuine”. God spoke and we were all moved by the need to be real , to be honest and to be genuine as Christians in our daily words and deeds. We all need: Space for GRACE in this demanding society of today.
Space for MINISTRY where everyone's giftings and capacity is included.

In the evening we visited a church in Lund. There we also found a true genuineness. And .... that church is growing rapidly.

Christians and churches who are free from Show Business are attractive and growing. And…. I feel blessed. Ingvar
