“Then, even if I cannot come soon, you will know about the things that people must do in the family of God. That family is the church of the living God, the support and foundation of the truth.” (1Ti 3:15)

Church of The Living God

Seeking to humbly follow Jesus Christ and apply His teachings to our lives, their homes, their places of work and school...

We all need to find a church that encourages prayer and reading the living word based on john 3:3 john 3:16 Rev 3:20

Find a church that treats the man in rags and patches the same as the man in the $3000 suit.

Love the bretheren and seek out the people not the building intercede in prayer for one another and help one another.

Not a church based on selfish arrangement or appealing because its draws your emotions. In a feel good dead church you could be scraped off ground. Not a church that picks statements from the bible and causes those statements to rise above others.

When the teacher or preacher breaks the bread of life and shares the living Word, be sure to read more than once what they have taught. Find a church that encourages you in the things of God.

You should not to sit in just any church... take time take notice activities taking place. This is a very important choice take the time in prayer asking God where he wants you to worship Him...

Ask the Lord to help you develop deep hunger and a deep thirst for His word. It is the Word that converts the heart.

Do not to be satisfied to be a pew warmer... desire to get involved in reading the word daily have fellowship with God daily through prayer. Do not to let the light of life that the Lord has given you sit under a bushel but let it shine. If someone is down, give them a smile... crying give them a tissue; give them a box of tissues, and a warm hug and be prepared to share the word.




How to Be a blessing... Be involved in a church... Seek out carefully the church that you want to attend.

You want to go to church, because you love the Lord and because the Holy Spirit whispers to you that it is the right thing to do. (See John 14:15-17.)

You go to church to learn about God and his wonderful works, to learn about Jesus. The more you learn about God, the more there is to learn, since God is infinite.

And if you go to a Bible-believing church, you learn what the real truth is. Go to a church that does not water down the Bible with psychological feel-goodism or that compromises the Word of God to be politically correct. (See Hebrews 10:24-25, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, John 1:1-3.)

You go to church to worship God, because you want to praise him for what he has done for you—dying on the cross, taking your deserved punishment for sin. Remember it is all about Him and not about you.

When you stand before God on the Day of Judgment, Jesus will be standing right beside you, telling God, "I paid for this person's sin, I paid in full, for all time, for every sin this person committed. Therefore, he/she is my adopted son/daughter. Accept them into glory for the work I have done.

What a wonderful gift of life God has given us! And if we truly accept his gift, we should want to go to church to thank him and praise his holy name. (See Psalm 150, Exodus 20:8.)

Go to church to remember the work of Jesus. There we have a weekly opportunity to repent of our sins and to ask Jesus for forgiveness and strength to try again the coming week to follow his commands better. We know that our works can never save us by themselves, but we do good works as an outward expression of our love for Jesus and our thankfulness for his precious gift of salvation in saving us.

At church we remember Jesus by partaking of the Lord's Supper. "Do this in remembrance of me" (1 Corinthians 11:23-26). This is when we examine our lives asking God to forgive our wrongs and we accept him and his forgiveness.

Go to church to fellowship with other people who love the Lord. And what a sweet fellowship it is to be part of the family of God.

My best friendships have been with people I've met at church, and they are from all age groups and all walks of life. We all become family.

Each friendship is very special and unique. I think of the older woman at church who cherishes the hug given her each week, or another woman telling you that you are one of her kids (because she has adopted you in her heart). Or the man who the Lord has placed in your path so that you could be a blessing to him sharing smiles and friendship when he has none of either during the week.

Friendship is having someone say they will pray for you and knowing that they really will, or having friends that last through joys and sorrows and time and distance. (See John 13:35; 1 John 4:10-11; Hebrews 10:24-25.)

Go to church to share the talents God gave you. God gave each of us special talents, and if we love him, we share those talents, even if it means taking on some responsibilities.

We do not hide our light under a bushel basket. Each person is a part of "the body of Christ" the church, and each of our talents work to make the whole "body of Christ" stronger. God actually allows us to strengthen His own body using our bodies and gifts.

Some people have the talent of hospitality, others of prayer, others of music, or teaching, or comforting.

We all can do some of each, but each of us has areas where we are more gifted than others. One of my gifts is in the area of music (even though compared to many people I am not really very talented overall), and I play and sing the best I can for the Lord. We can all give of ourselves to the Lord in the way that he has gifted us. Remember, no one is without His gifts...He has gifted you too.

Each talent brings with it a responsibility to use it for the Lord's work, and in return you receive the Lord's joy. (See 1 Corinthians 12:4-7, 12-26; Romans 12:3-13.)

I've tried to include verses from the Bible to back up what I say, so that you will know I'm not saying these things just from whims of fancy. I pray that when you read this page, you will know that I am telling you these things because they are God's desires. The Father, the Son Jesus, and the Holy Ghost have such deep love for you and feel you searching for the Lord's truth.

When you are apart from the body of Christ (the church), you can easily be tossed to and fro by false teachings, for the devil works diligently to lead believers astray.

The church helps you learn about God and Jesus and The Holy Spirit. Your faith becomes stronger, because you know more, and because you know God's truth.

During hard times, you also have the fellowship of believers to help carry your burdens as you walk God's path through this troublesome life.

You can walk this path with boldness, confidence, and joy, knowing Jesus walked the path before you. He is leading you as your Good Shepherd, protecting you, his sheep. Lean on him. Follow him. Worship him. (See Romans 12:1.)

Amen.
