Need a Church

What is the big deal about the church?

Good question. And it deserves a good answer. More significant than a place to get married or a memorial. A place where kids ought to be for Sunday school. Or how about, "There's no better spot to make business contacts or find a partner. 

Haven't you sometimes wondered if the church is that significant in a day of high-level decisions and powerful domestic and international issues?  

Matthew 16:18 and Hebrews 10:25, the Bible, Jesus said. However, it still includes an unconditional promise that the church is His project (“I will build My church") and that it will be perpetually invincible. No way will "the gates of hell" put it out of business. When you chew on that thought long enough, you realize that the church is the impervious anvil, and all these other hot items, no matter how impressive, loud, and intimidating, will ultimately cool off and be replaced. 

"The apostle Paul said in Hebrews 10:25 not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. So why shouldn’t you believe in the Church of Jesus Christ? 

  1. The church is the only institution dealing with the ultimate issues. Death. Judgment. Relationships. Lasting Purpose.   Eternal priorities. Meaning in life. Your Identity.    Heaven and Hell.
  1.  The church provides a perspective that gives dignity to humanity. We live in a day when a man has become a means rather than an end. This creates a desperate sense of inner worthlessness. The church counteracts this insidious message.
  2.  The church provides a moral and ethical compass amid relativism. Like a swamp of murky, slimy water, our society has either rethought, resisted, or ultimately rejected absolutes. Not the church! It still stands on the timeless bedrock of Scripture.
  3.  The church is the only place to find true community, healing, compassion, and love. It is here people care. Care. Not because of status or money. But because the Spirit of God is at work, weaving together the lives within the Body.
  4.  The church (like no other institution) has motivated the most lasting, unselfish, essential, courageous ministries on earth. Schools. Hospitals. Halfway houses. Orphanages. Leprosarium. Missions. 

 

Look back over the list. Think each one through. See if it does not thrill you to realize you are connected with such a significant arm of strength.
