Our church, and our lives, it they are to amount to anything, must be about more than our individual preferences and desires.

Preserving church unity requires less gossip and more forgiveness.

On our anniversary, we remember the first reason we are gathered as a church. We are people in need of salvation and our salvation is the proof of God's love.

We have more power than we think we do. The church is God's instrument in the world and has great potential to change it when we stop using the church only for ourselves and start using the power of the church for other people, too.

Broken things--and broken people--aren't usually easily fixed. But God is unusually good at fixing things, and you are worth fixing to God. If I were king, we would all turn much more quickly to God to find wholeness.

You don't have to face the anxieties of this world alone. The church is a place to build strong Christian relationships that promote spiritual and emotional health.
