The Christ-event is...
Because of the way Jesus came, and how he ministered, and dealt with sin, things never have to remain "as they are." Because of Jesus, we do not have to remain the same, we can be changed for good, forever. This change is called salvation, and is the entre to a new life in an alternative universe, called the Kingdom of God.
be blessed today.

God Is Calling You To Have A Closer Walk With Jesus
God Is Calling You To Have A Closer Walk With Jesus
Great set of articles to share with those who have questions about God, and desire to walk in the power of the Spirit.

openingsalvo: Developing a C.O.R.E of volunteers - Calling people to ministry
openingsalvo: Developing a C.O.R.E of volunteers - Calling people to ministry
In our ministry redesign, we had to rethink our conception of volunteerism to fit the culture.
Service is an opportunity for healing and community-building, and those who are willing to participate in the great causes of your organization, may not fit your preconceived notions.
I just heard a story of a church that was looking to expand its physical plant. Most of the leaders were women, not a bad thing at all, but most of the husbands stayed home. When the call for volunteers came to give sweat equity, all the men finally had a reason to show up and participate. These men who were builders, carpenters, electricians, and engineers worked like dogs on this building project, bringing friends from their work sites, and getting materials donated by their companies.
The bonds these men created over this project are strong to this day. Now the men who were at first spectators became invested in the entire life of the church.
Service does heal us. Make the big ask, you will be surprised who will answer the call.

I have always had reservations about making resolutions, so I skip a step and make reservation. Take a look and see just what I mean
