An Operation Of Love

In our effort to build The Church, God asks us to provoke to unity and provides a wonderful play by play on how we can accomplish that. The key is to treat others in a way that the world does not! That means we comfort one another, we weep when others weep, we rejoice when others rejoice. When we act the way God suggests then we lose our foolishness, we grow up into Him individually, which helps to grow The Church. Some of the practices we should endevour to do are love without hypocracy and abhor that which is evil. We should have an intense desire to edify one another and that our dedication to spiritual matters should have the end goal of edifying each other. We should be children in malice, forgetting and forgiving our anger one towards another. We should seek peace but more actively we should try to make peace. How good it is for brothers to walk in unity.

Provoke to Unity

February 4, 2010

God, the source of peace to us by His redemptive work of righteousness through His son Jesus Christ, calls for us to endeavour to keep the bonds of peace. We are to not let go of peace, the abscense of emnity, as it is what holds us together. God sets the example for us; He started with love, then got rid of the emnity, and finally there was peace between Him and us. This is our example, our steps towards peace within the Church, the Body of Christ. We cannot however expect for this peace to be present without any effort. We must provoke each other to love and good works. There must be a constant, sharp contention of love that spark all of us to lose our emnity and bring about peace.

Happy Holidays!

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

It comes to that time in the year when we all celebrate with our families. Lets celebrate being a family this year, the family of God. Bless your brothers and sisters in Christ, let them know how much you love and appreciate them, and remember what God has done for us all.

Acts 20:28

Take head therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

We will not be having fellowship tonight but we will be back next week.  Happy Holidays and God Bless!

Of one accord

In God’s great lovingkindness he set up the Church, with Christ as the head, to be a family and it brings him great joy to see that the members of that Church, us, are likeminded and having the same love, God’s love. We should be of “one accord, of one mind” as he asks us. Being likeminded and having the same love are specifically layed out and wonderful examples are given in the bible.
