How does God feel about sending people to your church?

People expect only the ceremonial from the church. But God wants to give us a rich, varied, and outward-reaching life.

Last week you seemed to get a big charge out of my little story about going to a wedding rehearsal and wasting time waiting for a key person to arrive. When I said that I didn’t know what we’d do on Sunday afternoon if he didn’t show up, you let out a belly laugh. You assumed I was talking about ...read more

based on 70 ratings

| 9,216 views

We need to get our minds off of sharing gossip, recipes, and social sagas and get them on sharing Jesus.

WHO IS JESUS One of the saddest things happening in this country today has to do with churches. Today church houses are more of a social club than a place where God’s people gather together to repent, fellowship, praise, and worship Him. You hear people all of the time talking about what’s ...read more

Universality Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 11, 2003

based on 23 ratings

| 13,288 views

Thanks to Constantine’s move, the church gradually began to think of its universality as power rather than as an evangelical mandate. Christ is to be lord of our political life, our cultural life, our everyday life -- every aspect.

It was said of one preacher that “for tender minds he served up half a Christ.” Behind that lie two realities – first, that many of us don’t want the full gospel, we’d rather just ...read more
