    What Is The Value Of Children In The Church?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Sep 7, 2021
     | 3,745 views

    Children of the church can be viewed as those who are new to the church. Why will the church leaders not listen to these people? Time to leave power behind and lead!

    Mark 10:13 And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 ...read more

We read in acts chapter 6 verse 7 that the word of God was spreading and the number of disciples increased rapidly and that a large number of priests became obedient to the faith. So we realize as we move on through the book of Acts ...read more

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jul 17, 2014
     | 6,812 views

    Even when Jesus was denied in His own hometown, the mission of the Christian today is the same! Jesus commanded the disciples to GO and teach what they knew, and to show others that the choices they make today have consequences.

    Love Never Pretends!! (Hix)

     | 4,139 views

    Doesn't matter if you can preach good, or use long 50 cent words, that nobody understands, if they don’t love! What good is it? I've known preachers, that love to hear themselves talk, but I'm not sure, they love the ones they're talking too!!

    1 Cor. 13:1-3-Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have ...read more

    There is no room in the Church for legalism. In love, we must get along with (and be more understanding of) fellow believers since we are all at different levels of understanding in our faith journey.

    WHEN IT COMES TO LEGALISM, I LIKE WHAT AUTHOR, MAX LUCADO, WROTE WHEN HE SAID, “LEGALISM HAS NO PITY ON PEOPLE. LEGALISM MAKES MY OPINIONYOUR BURDEN, MAKES MY OPINION YOUR BOUNDARY, MAKES MY OPINION YOUR OBLIGATION.” I LIKE THAT! WE HAVE ALL BEEN, AT SOME POINT, NOT ONLY A WITNESS TO, ...read more

    I think the happiest people on earth are those who have a close relationship to the Christ. Where are you choices leading you to try and find happiness? In a place or in a person?
