    Did you know that only 15% of churches in America are healthy? Could God be asking us to change? If so, in what areas? How do we identify what God is wanting us to change?

    An interesting article that I found. “Age changes things.” Who changed everything when I wasn’t looking? I’ve noticed lately that everything is farther away than it used to be. It’s even twice as far to the corner now, and they’ve added a hill! I’ve given up running for the bus; it leaves much ...read more

    God brings peace and order to our lives and church, inviting us to trust His presence and follow His clear, simple guidance with settled hearts.

    If you walked in today with a heart that feels hurried, with thoughts that scatter like leaves in a gust of wind, you’re in good company. Life has a way of turning up the volume. Deadlines stack up. Conversations get clipped. Sleep runs thin. And then Sunday comes, and we find ourselves in the ...read more

    Who We Are In Christ As Church Member

    Contributed by Thomas Perdana on Aug 8, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,857 views

    When we become a christian we have new identity in Christ, and our view toward each other in the church must reflect that fact.

    Here is the text from our Bible today: 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. 16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no ...read more

    Notice, this verse starts off with the word, “Beware.” Any time we see the word “Beware” we need to pay attention!

    Personally I’m not much of a gardener; at best you could call me a ‘weed exterminator.’ But I certainly enjoy walking round a beautiful garden.

    Paul tells us how we can function as the body of Christ and thus, present the likeness of Christ to a lost world.

    Once again, the Apostle Paul discusses the unity of the local church. Here he uses the picture of a body to speak about how we are to function in unity. From Paul’s discussion of how God sees His church as being like a body, we learn four things about how the body (the local church) is to function. ...read more
