    Everywhere we hear the Church is dead, but does that mean that we have to bury her?

    From everywhere we hear the cry of the world that the Church is dead. People are leaving the Church because there is so little life left in the Church. I think if we can write an obituary about the Church, it will probably be as follows: For many years the Church was in a battle for survival. ...read more

Why in the world would a man possessed by demons even be interested in going to the house of God? Why would the devil want to go to church? 1. ...read more

    The rapture of the church.

    The Rapture of the Church Even though many groups deny the rapture, the Bible clearly teaches that there is a rapture of God’s people when Christ returns.

    It’s easy to start a Bible study; to start going back to church, to start a daily prayer time; the thing we must focus on is being faithful.

    Intro: In a church in the Deep South where the preaching style was a “talk back” sort of style. The pastor was getting the congregation exited about their prospective future. The preacher said, “this church is like a crippled man who needs to get up and walk under the power of Jesus.” The ...read more

    I’m convinced that when the 6 characteristics of the early church are put into practice, & are evident in our lives, then God will use us to build a great church that brings glory & honor to Him.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2011) A.
