     | 4,789 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
     | 3,840 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

     | 2,595 views

    In these verses of scripture, we have an authentic description of the true church of God. This is what God, Himself, says about the church. On every hand today the church and the very use of the word “church” is misunderstood.

    Reihold Niebuhr said this about the church, “The church is a lot like Noah’s ark, if it weren’t for the storm on the outside, you could not stand the stink on the inside.” True of many churches today, I don’t know of any time when the church has made more racket and been less effective in the world ...read more
