"A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
By this all men will know that you are my disciples,
if you love one another."
John 13:34-35 NIV
How much I could have done....
Jesus Christ, His life, death & resurrection
All about Lent
| The late Francis Schaeffer wrote: The world is afire. Not only do we face strenuous days now, but, if my projections are right, we can expect our times to become even more difficult. I think it is probable that God’s people are about to enter a struggle unlike anything they have experienced for many generations. The next two to five decades will make the last few years look like child’s play. We Christians should be asking ourselves, “What must we do to speak effectively to such a world?” I believe with all my heart that in order to speak to this generation we must act like a Bible-believing people. We can emphasize a message faithful to the Bible and the purity of the visible church, but if we do not practice this truth we cannot expect anyone to listen to us. more... |

The
Mark
of the Christian ... Christians have not always presented a pretty picture to the world. Too often they have failed to show the beauty of love, the beauty of Christ, the Holiness of God And the world has turned away. Is there no way to make the world look again - this time at true Christianity Most Christians continue to stand with arms folded presenting to men and women, a tarnished image of God-a shattered body of Christ |
