    When we become a christian we have new identity in Christ, and our view toward each other in the church must reflect that fact.

    Here is the text from our Bible today: 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. 16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no ...read more

    Recently I was invited to attend a church planters conference in Lake Yale. At that conference I was exposed to various teaching and methods for reaching the unchurched. As I sat there and listened and took notes, I couldn’t help to think how we have somehow missed it when it comes to the purpose ...read more

You may even object to the word “preserving” as sounding too much like maintaining or holding out against the world when the Church should be boldly invading our world. ...read more
