Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 10, 2011

Though so often we start out with such good intentions, things happen in our life to trip us up from serving God. What are those things and how can we avoid them?

What Should The Church Be In 2013?

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Feb 16, 2013

Simply put a church is a local called-out Body of Christ that has united together as the Family of God to worship and to obey His commands. The bottom line is the church is you and I. The question is, therefore, “What should we be in 2013?”

What Should the Church Be in 2013? Ephesians 5:25b-27 Before answering the question, “What should the church be in 2013”, it would do us good to define what we mean by the term “the church”. Some would define church as a denomination – the Roman Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church, the Nazarene ...read more

We only want to do what is easy and do only what come natural. But the Word of God is clear. We are to put on ...read more
