    God put the church here for a specific purpose! It is obvious today as we look at many churches and compare them with the scriptures, that many churches are ignorant of their purpose.

    Ignorance is something we see in all areas of life. Illus: When Vice President Al Gore was seeking to be president, he was running against President George W. Bush, who is known as a man of FAITH. God is a big part of his life. Gore knew that the polls indicated that the American people liked ...read more

    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

    When Peter was in prison, awaiting what appeared to be a sure execution, the church prayed without ceasing for him and Peter was set free by an angel of the Lord. Powerful things happen the church prays.

    In the text, we find something taking place that seems to be missing in many churches today – that is church folk praying for church folk. In this particular case, a church member in trouble. The Apostle Peter is on death roll and all petitions to commute his sentence have been exhausted. ...read more
