Dear church congregants; Don’t make it hard for him. Be responsive, be prompt, and be cooperative in every way you can. You will give him such joy.
The issue of “fear of man” became my main focus rather than “fear of God” (Prov 1:7). In other words, as Ed Welch said it well, people became big, and God became small.
I am thankful for little things, such as brothers in this church planter’s cohort that I am part of, as I journey through prayer and encouragement through God’s Word. Wouldn’t be here if it were not for these fellow pastors in this mission work!
Someone may say, “Don’t we have plenty of churches already? Why church planting?” Here are five reasons we believe in planting a church right here and right now.
“The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares for this, or exhibits this, or results from this….” – C.S. Lewis

Easter all took place in the city of Jerusalem about 2,000 years ago. Yet, this truth is for all of us as well.
One of the greatest sins in the church may be a lack of forgiveness, which stems from pride, and it stems from not preaching the gospel to ourselves.
Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12). He came as a mild babe in the manger (Incarnation).
There’s nothing that will save us from such eternal punishment except a saving faith in Christ by the grace of Almighty.
We must get serious about reaching people who are far from God. There is a battle going on out there, and the church is losing ground.
