    Church should be GOD'S way, not YOUR way.

    You Should Be Committed A husband and his wife arose one Sunday morning and the wife dressed for church. It was just about time for the service when she noticed her husband hadn't moved a finger toward getting dressed. Perplexed, she asked, "Why aren't you getting dressed for church?"

    The life God intended for us is filled with fruitfulness, increasing knowledge of God, power from above, and an attitude of thanks and praise.

    Picture yourself right now lying on a tropical beach, the gentle sound of waves and the sea gulls in the background, the palm branches waving in the light breeze above you – “this is the life!” On this cold winter day, I would love to be there right now.

    The Power Of Purpose Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,990 views

    Attaining the church's purpose is about "keeping the main thing the main thing." People must not only "know" the core values, but they must also "hear" them continually restated so they can envision what they're working towards.

    Proverbs states, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18 KJV). Bill Hybels, in his book Courageous Leadership, tells us, “When a leader is casting a vision publicly the goal is to help people know, understand, and remember the ‘main thing’.”(1) Purpose is all about keeping ...read more

    Praise And Worship As It Pertains To Leadership

    Contributed by Charles Jones on Apr 14, 2020
     | 7,260 views

    A worship leader must be a person of proven character, whose personal life and integrity is above reproach. As a humble servant of God, his/her actions will always call attention to God and never seek to bring glory to themself.

    Praise and Worship As It Pertains To Leadership We must follow God's ordained plan and pattern for spiritual leadership in the church if we expect God's anointing to come upon the praise and worship service.

    Rules, Guidelines, Boundaries… they all help convey limitations… something of a “you can go to this point (here) , but not that far (there)” premise. When God plunked Man into the Garden, there is only one rule…

    Common thought today; ° Rules are meant to be broken ° Boundaries are meant to be challenged ° Guidelines are merely suggestions, recommendations, and preferred expectations Almost no one likes rules. Almost no one wants to be ‘governed’, controlled, directed, and worse… ...read more

    The time we are given in this life is priceless. We cannot save it, but we can use it wisely and gain from it. This is why we should strive to make the most of our time, be diligent in using our talents, and fulfill our roles to the best of our abilities.

    What would it be like to be ushered into Heaven into the very presence of Almighty God? We may not know exactly what it would be like, but I am sure we would never be the same again.

    Worshiping the Lord of Hosts Isaiah 6:1-8 In Isaiah 6, a man by the name of Isaiah is called out by God to be His servant, to prophesy to a nation that was not living in God's will.
