Best friends make church better
It has been discovered that when best friends attend the same church, They attend more regularly; They feel more connected to the church; and They feel closer to God and display a more integrated faith.

What is true worship?
True worship flows from the heart in recognition and response to the magnificence of Christ, and because of an understanding of the grace found solely in the gospel. Embracing these truths through the practical experience of daily living is imperative in our relationship with God. And while true worship always manifests itself in the individual’s […]

How to get to know your community
Here are a few ideas as to how you might learn more about your community: Get a demographic study. Drive or walk your community and pay attention.

Worship must change the worshiper
No worship—no preaching, no singing, no praying, no fasting, however intense or beautiful—that leaves us harsh with our workers on Monday, or contentious with our spouses at home, or self-indulgent in other areas of our lives, or angry enough to hit somebody, is true, God-pleasing worship. Don’t make a mistake here: true fasting may be […]

How to have a unified church
Let’s be clear. The Bible mandates us to have an attitude of unity in the church. But look at what it requires: humility, gentleness, patience, and acceptance of one another in love.

Loving God Rather Than Loving God
This is a very relevant warning for us in a day of great worship renewal. Many people are discovering the joy of meeting God in extended times of emotionally charged singing to the Lord. I personally find such seasons of lingering before the Lord a very rich communion with him. But I see a danger. […]

5 marks of a good outreach event
Our outreach plans must be viewed as what George Hunter describes as “links in a chain.” We are only part of the process, but we never know when or if our link will be the one that fastens them to Jesus. I suggest the following be kept in mind as you develop your outreach plan: […]

LOVING GOD BECOMES VISIBLE IN LOVING OTHERS
But still, Jesus does say that treating others as you want to be treated “is the Law and the Prophets.” He does not say here that two commandments are the Law and the Prophets, but only one. This seems significantly different from Matthew 22:40 where the Law and the Prophets depend on both commandments. Why […]
