(This Second one reminds me of the simple principle – Read And Believe)
------
Chris.
The autonomy of the local Church is an important Biblical Principle. It does not mean however that the Church should have an independent and unsubmissive mind. The local Church should be in cooperative fellowship with other local Churches and also listen to their spiritual Fathers such as founding pastors and overseers of their denominations.

Terror is a very common word today because of the actions of terrorists all over the World. There are two things that I deeply consider about terror and terrorists.

This means we True Believers need Wisdom and the Holy Spirit’s power and leading to enable us to be effective witnesses of Jesus Christ.

Apostolic Church Planting Ministry And Mission!

‘Apostolic Church Planting Ministry And Mission.’
1 Corinthians 4:9-15.

Fatherhood is a big responsibility. God is a Father so we can read in God’s Word of Fatherhood very clearly.

Every Message in every True Church is to be based on what the Bible says. There is no need to “bend” our Message to try to fit the people that we are speaking to because the Bible fits every culture. All counsel, to be effective, needs to be based on what the Bible says, if not, the counsellor is exalting themselves against God.

Chris.
The Bible is not like a Church hand book, only to be opened on Sundays, rather it is the very clear Word of God that gives us direction for our lives. It is the “Voice of God” for us today.

(This Second one is about Receiving Salvation)
-----------------------
Chris.
God is not restricted to our prayers or our thoughts. He can do much more than that. Of course it is not wrong to pray and to think but God is able to do more. This is why it is important and reasonable for us to have the right concept of God and to Trust Him.

----------------------
Chris.
The most important thing is that we are living in and practising the Will of God. The Promises of God are meaningless if we do not obey His Will. It is True that all things are possible. If this Promise is to apply to our lives we need to be living consciously in the Will of God.

There is a twofold need in the Churches today about Teaching. Firstly there is a need for good Teaching of the Word of God in the Churches so that Believers can be built up and made mature in Christ. Secondly, there needs to be a new desire amongst Believers to be taught the Word of God.

When we enter into judgement on other people we are often entering into the dangerous ground of religious legalism. We abuse God’s Word by making measures and judge other people with these measures. This is really not a good way to live and we need to repent of it if necessary.

Chris.
Christ did not simply live using His Own effort and energy, He Lived by the Power of the Father God. Here is a very clear example for us that we need to learn and follow. There is absolutely no need for “bun out” for the Believing Servant of the Lord if they learn this lesson from the Lord.

Knowledge Is Important!

Even if True Believers go through the door of death ir is a door that leads to Eternal Life. God can also give Life to dying Churches and back sliding Christians. This is glorious … God gives Life.

Follow The Right Way!

‘Follow The Right Way.’
a) Proverbs 6:20. It is not “old fashioned”.
b) 2 Peter 3:1. Follow the way of wholesome thinking.

-------------------
Chris.
Sometimes we call Truth that we do not like “old fashioned” that is really an unwise attitude and statement. The Truth of God’s Word never changes and we need to trust His Word completely – it is not “old fashioned”.

If we truly know the Lord as our Shepherd it means that we have great confidence in Him.When we know the Lord as our Shepherd it also means that we will know Him as our Guide in Life.

-----------------
Chris.
Orphans should not have their hopes crushed. Those Churches and Missionaries that are ministering to orphans need to be very compassionate and caring for these orphans. They should never be treated unjustly but they should be loved as owned children. We are not doing orphans a favour by looking after them but we should see them as just as much a Gift from God as our own children.

a) Salvation is only found in Jesus Christ.
b) The Name of Jesus is the only Name given to us by which comes Salvation.
c) We must be Saved through the Name of Jesus.
(This Second one gives me a heart to Thank and Praise God for Salvation Through The Name Of Jesus)
----------------
Chris.
The Book of Acts of the Apostles in the Bible tells us clearly the history of the early New Testament Church. Right from the outpouring of the Holy Spirit until today we can see the Faithfulness of God towards His People. We should read the Book of Acts so that we can see God’s Way with His Church.

All True Believers Belong To God First!

‘All True Believers Belong To God First.’

----------------
Chris.
When the Bible tells us that God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son to die on the Cross as the punishment for our sins, it is the very centre of the Gospel. We also need to remember that Jesus Christ was and is so Precious to God the Father. What amazing Love God has for us.

We should constantly remember that the Church is God’s Church. As True Believers we should very much belong to Church but the Church does not belong to us – it belongs to God. Even if we give generously and sacrificially to the Church we need to remember the Church is not ours, it is God’s.

Jesus Christ came to give us Life in abundance. This is the Heaven-desired Life for every True Believer on this Earth. God is the Author of Life. The Father, The Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are all Life givers.

If we are True Believers we need to realise that our inner man is being renewed day by day through our personal relationship with God. The renewal of the inner man is much more important than the healing of the outer man. Outer man is a temporary tent. Inner man is Eternal.

A Sobering Thought!

‘A Sobering Thought.’
1 Corinthians 3:16-17.
When we read here and in other Scriptures about the Temple of the Holy Spirit there are two definitions of this phrase and both are applicable. The first is that as individuals we are temples of the Holy Spirit. The Second is that the assembly of True Believers is the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
