Sharing my thoughts, experiences and passions about church ministry and life in general. More than likely what you read here will be worth what you paid for it.
"Christian" - What does that even me? I've always taught that it meant "Christ-Like" and that is what we should strive to be as believers in Jesus. But it means so much more. If you really want to know the truth...read with caution. "And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch." - Acts 11:26 The word "Christian" shows up only 3 times in the entire New Testament. It was originally a term used to describe a servant and follower of Christ. Today it has become a general term devoid of the original meaning. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE For us who believe it should mean the name of our Redeemer, the idea of our intimate relationship with Jesus and the fact that He is our Lord and Savior. To claim the name "Christian" means that Christ and His Word revealed in the Bible have become our supreme authority and our only source of future hope. These are my thoughts intermixed with some commentary by Donald Stamps. Enjoy some worship I've really been lifted up by this past week:
