    Blessing In Church Closure

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 20, 2020
     | 3,886 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

    Churches Without Love

    Reihold Niebuhr compared the church to Noah’s Ark, “If it were not for the storm on the outside, you could not stand the stink on the inside.

    As Paul peeped through the window of the church at Corinth, he saw quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder. And it broke his heart. You might expect to hear of. 1. Places of employment without love. a. Just a number b. Just a tool to accomplish a task c. You ...read more

    An Inspired Description Of The Church

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 31, 2020
     | 2,620 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

    What Good Is Church?

    Church is taking a bashing, but it was created and called for by God.

    We live in a time in the Western Church where people are seeing less and less value in attending church. They say that God is omnipresent and in our hearts so why can’t we just be part of the invisible church? Why can’t we be Digital Disciples and just watch ...read more

    Building A Great Church Series

     | 5,225 views

    Strong churches are like strong homes, they don’t “just happen”. It takes work to make them strong. Let's look at some ways from the scriptures.

    Strong churches are like strong homes, they don’t “just happen”. There are some very important ingredients – key parts. I feel the starting point to understand and remember, “It’s God’s church and it’s God’s plan.” 1. Ephesians 5:25; The church is the object of Christ’s love. 2. 1 Corinthians ...read more

    A personal word of Hope that would meet their need, suit their case and would be beneficial to every other church and to all Christians in general. Christ knows and observes their condition; though in heaven, yet he walks in the midst of his churches on earth. The Church has a glorious future!

    The Glorious Future of the Church Rev. 2:1-3:14 The Apostle John, now much encouraged by what he saw, continues a discussion on the future of the church. In the next two chapters of Revelation we are given an overview of the Church’s present condition and God’s future for His Church. The Church ...read more

     | 2,258 views

    The Church was born on the day of Pentecost. What were the gatherings to be like. Should the be like the gatherings that took place in the Jewish Synagogues and the Temple or were they to be something different?

    How Should the Church Worship? Today we will be reading from John 4:7-26 Last Sunday was Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost literally means 50 or the 50th. On that 50th day Jews from all over the known world were coming into Jerusalem for the Festival of the First Fruits which celebrated the beginning ...read more

     | 5,530 views

    For some people today tolerance is the only real virtue and intolerance the only vice. The message to Thyatira goes against the grain of modernity by setting limits to tolerance.

    Letter to the church in Thyatira Rev. 2:18-29 In the opening pages of Revelation, our Lord introduces Himself as heaven’s holy warrior (1:12–20) who would prepare His people to overcome their enemies (2:7, 11, 17, 26; 3:5, 12, 21) by exhorting them to hear what the Spirit has to say in the letters ...read more

    The church in Sardis was a perfect model of an inoffensive Christianity. They apparently invented the concept of “political correctness.

    Letter to the Church in Sardis Rev. 3:1-6 Sardis was located about 30 miles southeast of Thyatira The ruins of 1st century Sardis are located near a city in modern day Turkey named Izmir.

    Strengthening Leadership In The Church

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Jun 27, 2020
     | 4,252 views

    Thus, believers limit leadership to the secular world and the places where citizens socialize, political establishments, corporate business, sporting activities, and professional gatherings in society. The price is the low and unworkable leadership structure in the body of Chris

    Therefore, there is a need for the restructuring of the present church model if she desires to project Christ's government and leadership to the world. There must be an all-inclusive, team spirit, true unity, and a three-but a single-level model built upon the membership, stewardship, and ...read more

    The first mark of a true and living church is its love for Jesus and the brethren.

    According to research done by sociologist W.F. Nimkoff and Arthur Wood, the intensity of romance in a marriage diminishes by 80% during the first two years.
