    God created us in His image and commanded us to grow and multiply. Our spiritual growth and fruitfulness are conditions to remain in Christ. We can only grow and be fruitful by staying connected to Him. We are expected to show growth and fruitfulness in every area of our lives to glorify Him.

    The purpose of God for us as Christians is to be ambassadors of heaven on Earth, ensuring the realization of the Kingdom of God. God wants us to be fruitful and multiply in all areas of our lives: spiritually, intellectually, physically, maritally, professionally, financially, ministerially, and ...read more

    1) What does Bible say about universalism? 2) Because of what Bible says, how is church to conduct herself? (Material adapted from David Faust in his book, "Growing Churches, Growing Leaders", chapter called Children of a Graceful God, pgs. 108-113)

    HoHum: David Faust asks, What do you get when you cross a Jehovah’s Witness with a universalist? A knock on the door for no apparent reason. Universalism is a widely accepted philosophy. Universalism says that no matter what everyone will eventually be saved. Today people say things like, “Oh ...read more

    The "Normal" Church

    Contributed by Billy Kryger on Oct 20, 2003
    based on 29 ratings
     | 4,546 views

    "Normal" means "conforming to a standard". The Standard for our churches ought to be the Lord Jesus Christ. The church at Jerusalem gives us an excellent blueprint for how a church ought to be.

    INTRODUCTION: God wants every church to be a “normal” church. What is normal? Webster’s dictionary says, “conforming to a standard.” God has given the standard for His church. When we compare the church in the book of Acts with our churches today, we fall so far short of God’s standard. ...read more
