Believers
with no Church
The more
you study
the word of God the more you grow in understanding and the more able
you are to share what you know with others. But some grace believers
have no local place where they can assemble with like minded believers
to study and fellowship.
Have you
ever thought of this: If there
is not one, start one. Many grace believers meet in home bible studies
to fellowship and share the word of God in regular bible studies. One
grace preacher said that when he began he went to Walmart and bought
twelve cheap plastic chairs (and some of those were empty at first).
We
see no need at all for the trappings of religion or any kind of
strained formality but rather that a sincere person can get together
with other sincere people to read, discuss and study the Word of
God...and especially the word of truth, rightly divided...without fear
and without the restraints of religion.
One sure thing you can
do is to invite members of your family and your friends to share in
listening to the audio studies at our web site and then just simply
have discussions afterwards. This will lead to more interest as you get
more people involved. As believers learn more about the word of truth,
rightly divided, they are more established. They become more secure in
their faith and therefore better equipped to boldly proclaim the gospel
of grace....that God would have all men to be saved and come unto the
knowledge of the truth of salvation by GRACE ALONE through FAITH ALONE.
God
calls SINFUL MEN to be the preachers and teachers of his word for a
purpose: To demonstrate that the Excellency of the power is HIS, and to
show the effectiveness of HIS grace. Certainly we can tell anyone who
is willing to listen that WE BELIEVE that Christ died for our sins, all
of them, and was raised FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION. The resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead is living proof that our sins are forgiven.
They are blotted out, never to be brought up again. As saved, bible
believers, we are A NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST!
Please use the
studies and articles you find here to help your understanding and to
help you help others in understanding the rightly divided word of truth.
We
are all called to be Ambassadors for Christ. Paul said, let a man so
account of us as the "ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries
of God." He said, moreover, that stewards are to be found faithful. He
told Timothy to commit these things to FAITHFUL MEN that they may be
able to teach others also.
God,
today, is looking for faithful
men. You, as a saved bible believer, are certainly among them.
