Growing up as a Christian, I was taught that there is no such thing as a perfect church. Having been a visitor, a member, and a pastor at multiple churches, I can state without question that I have never encountered a perfect church. But what is it that prevents us, as a local church, from being perfect? If not perfect, is there anything we can do to get us closer to the goal of becoming the ideal church?

At one point or another we all experience some kind of adversity in life. How should we respond? When we lean on the lord, we can weather any storm.

From across the globe in Kenya to inside of us and all around us, the Spirit of God is always moving and at work. Let us not forget the glory of this revelation as we walk with Jesus, realizing the unique gifting entrusted to each of us. In doing so, may we all play our part in continuing Christ’s ministry and fulfilling the will of God.

There is wisdom found in the first century tradition of Christians gathering together in small groups to interact with the Word of God and build relationships with one another. When we forsake meeting together in small groups, we stunt our spiritual growth and delay our spiritual maturity.

There is wisdom found in the first century tradition of Christians gathering together in large groups, as a church community, to worship God. When we forsake worshiping together we miss out on certain specific benefits of the Christian experience.

Everyone has a name and their name has a meaning. God has a name and His name means somethign too.

The Word of God is alive and can be used to conquer fear. If we lean on the Word of God, study it, meditate on it, and apply it, we can trample on snakes and scorpions.
