     | 4,777 views

    What is church in the business of doing? Are we suppose to grow? Whose fault is it if we don't? I hope to answer some of these questions for us.

There are many aspects to growth, such as soul winning, being a good witness for Christ. If a church is going to grow it also needs a healthy membership that will follow the ...read more

    Blessing In Church Closure

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 20, 2020
     | 3,766 views

    Sometimes we should rejoice in the death of a church rather than mourn. After a long painful disease, we express relief when a person passes into Glory. Many churches suffer a slow and painful death. Out of that death life and renewal may come.

    Revelation 2:4  Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.  5  Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except ...read more

    Many nowadays would tell you that CHURCHES are a thing of the past; and that they are OBSOLETE; that they have outlived their purpose. Let us read from Hebrews before we go any further. Hebrews 10:19-25 A REFRESHED CHURCH has a REFRESHED PERSPECTIVE. What do I mean by that? Some of the ...read more

    The Church Of Casual Christianity

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 8, 2022
     | 1,664 views

    Flies don’t land on a hot stove. A cold church is a dead church, but a hot church is alive.

    What does it mean to be a Church of Casual Christianity? How does a church become casual? Is it speaking of the church building or the church body? Or does it refer to the church members, the individual Christians? Look at the churches depicted in Revelation 2 & 3. • Ephesus – Revelation ...read more

    The church of Philadelphia is the only church that was given the promise of being Raptured and it was because of what they did, and it is those characteristics they possessed that we must possess today in order to be caught up in the Rapture.
