The Warning Signs CHURCH


In Greek EKKLESIA Assembly, community, congregation, gathering, meeting ... In the Bible, this word never refers to a building land).

Doctrine:

Matthew 16 v 18 The Lord Jesus Christ is the architect, the builder, the foundation and the owner. The church is his work and his property.
1 Corinthians 12 v 12 & 13 It is compared to a body, each member is a disciple, and Jesus is the head (same word count). It is through the baptism of the Holy Spirit that we become members of the assembly (see the paper on this subject).

Ephesians 2 v 19-22 The true church of Jesus Christ is the temple (or house) of God on earth. The temple stone dead in Jerusalem no longer exists.
Ephesians 4 v 1-16 The unity of the church is only possible on the basis of these 7 key points.
Ephesians 5 v 22-33 The church is the bride follower of Jesus Christ (as opposed to a prostitute).
1 Peter 2 v 1-10 We're home (or family) of God, and we are His priests (or priests) exercising the priesthood (priests serving).

1 Timothy 3 v 1-7 The former (or supervisors) exercise authority in matters of doctrine and discipline in local assemblies. They must obviously be subject to God.
1 Timothy 3 v 8-13 The servants and maids (or deacons) assist elders.

Practice:

Acts 2 v 41-47 Jerusalem, the first local assembly, can be an example to be followed today.
Acts 4 v 32-35 Unity in Christ and fraternal sharing.
Acts 11 v 19-30 Antioch, a church having a good proportion of newly converted pagan origin has become a missionary church.
Acts 13 v 1-3 depart first sent (or missionaries). Every meeting should send missionaries, pray for them and support them financially.
Acts 14 v 21-28 Appointment of Elders, elected by each local assembly. There are always many.
They must be trained and qualified according to 1 Timothy 3 v 1-7.
They have different gifts (Berger, teachers ...), but are models for the flock.
Acts 16 v 4 & 5 Growth in quality (love, wisdom, knowledge, holiness ...) and quantity is the will of God. A church that is mature adult to say, becomes a mother church, and thus multiplies.
Obstacles to Growth: Warmth, drowsiness, false doctrines, ignorance of the Will of God, love of the world, laziness, selfishness, individualism, sectarianism, tolerance of sin, prayer life poor, no burden for lost souls, no vision of the Body of Christ ... etc.

Romans 16 v 17 to 20 dividers should be put out before it's too late.
1 Corinthians 1 v 10 to 13 denominations and excessive attachment to a servant are a cause of division and weakening of the church. Let Christians spiritual.
1 Cor 5 v 9-13 Separation from those who call themselves Christians while living in sin.
Ephesians 4 v 7-16 ministries that God gives for growth.
Hebrews 5 v 6 v 11 Heb 3: If no progress is stagnating, or worse, we regress. Are we passive consumers, or are we engaged and involved in the life of the local church?

Problems affecting the growth of the congregation

Malnutrition: The Word of God is our food, and if we deprive ourselves (personal worship or meetings), we will be weak and sad.
If we neglect our prayer life individually and collectively, there will be no growth.
unconfessed sin, hidden links.
Lack of love for Christians or anyone in the world.
...

• The individual prayer and Community.

Thus Spake Zarathustra

A Saturday in May, we our troop billets in the MPV, the ultimate trick of exhausted parents who secretly hope for a nap motorized their offspring for a semi-rainy walk in the beautiful town of Dinan. Grumble grumble and girls, dragging their sandals on the pavement slippery ill will.
I say a little spirituality then we would lift your heart or a kick in the ass and shoot my brood on the porch of a church. Piwouane revives his religious fervor and studied characteristic in order, the location of the baptistery, stained glass, and the nave. I gloated: are we not perfect parents, children who initiate our heritage cultural and religious, instead of going to suck balls cafèt reindeer to Ikea? Pitou appreciates the qualities of resonance of the building. His father was the evil of the world to persuade her to whisper her book and experiences echo to another cliff. Piter gambols and clicks her heels on the ground.
suddenly lit up, I see the candles. Children are delighted to light their candles with flickering flames. In an attempt to awakening to faith, prayer j'éclaircis the idea and suggested the girls to recommend to God to take care of their great-grandmother who passed away recently. What would have been wise if I had not mistaken the name: Great Grandma J forgiveness, you're still with us and hopefully for a long time! God forbid that this error is not prescient! Our recollection is somewhat dissipated by the antics of a clown which borders with carelessness and lack of spark knock them over.
We leave in a calm and wait. Outside, a strange smell appears to embalm the city. A little bitter. Smoke? It notes that Calvin, sleuth, is a bit Piter burned and her hair is full of ash ...

Suite in this offering, hair Piwouane has again embarked on the great questions of theology. I can not help but be a little worried when my eldest daughter assures me that sometimes God live in his brain (which has already taken a lot of space) and the God of Evil (frankly terrifying).
reincarnation of Joan of Arc, Mystica is back, and she does not leave us much respite, but before Zouzous. It must furthermore cope with his little sister Pitou, who would rather side Zarathustra ...

- God is dead.
- No, he is alive but not like us.
- But if he is dead, because we do not see it. (St. Thomas)

- Or he lives in the church?
- Yes we can say that. (It's still abuse, 8 hours, before morning tea.)
- Ah yes, I understand everything! He speaks into the microphone!

To be or not be (read)

A force not to write anything that is worth a read, here is the blog that shows his own fear of abandonment through previously unsuspected bias: the word of my students. I decided here not to speak about education, little or modesty or by having educational qualification that I know ... While parents read me, fake or hunted by chance, I say frankly, I am losing the taste anywhere. I practiced self-censorship rather moderate, but the quid me fall and chops me hanging, because the exercise is curled over the outlet if I still tying up the language a little more. By it, they talk to their offspring my dear students, and therefore they offer a pen to sign my resignation illico this blog or the National Education ... Internet does not mean privacy, we suspected it, and I would have done better to be more cautious. But this blog was started a long time, despite its often random, and it is a kind of memory that I would weigh close.
And if really there who still want to look at the other end of the telescope, they had better have a look here: http://educophobe.over-blog.com/ . It's much more fun than my moods.
