COMMUNICATION

This era has been hailed, “The Communication Age.” Every way we turn today, people are obsessed with communicating. The confining traits of the past methods of communication have been overcome and we are now able to inexpensively communicate instantly via the internet or cell phone with anyone in the world from our home, our car, our workplace or even from the park or golf course. The industry is working overtime to be the “Firstest with the Mostest and Fastest.” Billions of dollars are being spent by individuals and corporations trying to keep up with developments.

BASIC CHRISTIANITY L3

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP Church membership is not only a great privilege, but it is also a great responsibility. Since Christ is the Head of the Church, it is an exclusive organization. (Eph. 1:22).

I. WHAT IS A CHURCH?

1. The word translated “church” in the New Testament simply means “an assembly” or literally “called out ones”. A church is a group of believers “called out” of the world (Acts 15:14) by the Holy Spirit, assembled together as the people of God to carry out His orders and to glorify His name.
2. The word “church” in the Bible refers to local churches who have covenanted together to carry out the Great Commission and observe the ordinances given by the Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 16:5; Gal. 1:2; Matt. 18:20).

A CHRISTIAN DOCTOR

 

HOW A CHRISTIAN DOCTOR CAN SERVE HIS COMMUNITY

Four letters express to a degree my thoughts on how any lay person including a doctor can serve his community as he or she serves the Lord. They are TELL which stand for Testimony, Empathy, Labour, and Love.

The most important tool of service any Christian physician has is their testimony of a personal experience with Jesus. At every opportunity we must seek to tell what God has done for us through Christ. Our testimony may be given with meekness and humility and we must rely on his Spirit to give us the right words at the right time as we remember how Jesus always had the time and appropriate approach to those he came upon who were in need. Our lives should back up our testimony as will be discussed with the other three aspects of TELL. But nothing we do can replace the direct expression of our new birth experience.

Why We Should Give Thanks To God

Why We Should Give Thanks To God

“What If”

What if God couldn’t take time to bless us because we couldn’t take time to thank Him yesterday?

What if God stopped leading us tomorrow because we stopped following Him today?

What if God took away the Bible tomorrow because we didn’t use it today?

What if God took away the message because we didn’t listen to the messenger?

What if God stopped loving because we stopped loving others?

What if God stopped hearing us today because we didn’t listen yesterday?

What if God answered our prayers the way we answered His call to service?
