God has designed his church (ekklesia in the Greek, literally the called out ones)
as a community (koinonia in the Greek, translated fellowship) to share our faith with each other through worship and prayer, study of the Word, fellowship, and breaking of he Bread ( referring to communion). 
 
We enter a journey of faith together as a body like a human body with it parts functioning as a whole (1 Corinthians 12) with each part having a function for the building of the community. There is no distance in the Spirit so it doesn’t mean we all necessarily congregate in a building or home or other. The Holy Spirit binds us together in love as one in him.
 
We share the same historic faith with some latitude of perspective and practice.
Each culture adds to the beauty of God’s holy church and enriches our lives with diversity in unity.

As St. Augustine of Hippo writes, “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.” That is the watchword for this website.

TEXT FOR JULY 14, 2020

When you think of taking a walk in the park, you think of doing something easy on a regular basis. You know it will benefit your health and well-being generally. How about thinking what we can do regularly to improve our spiritual well-being in this time of pandemic? There is a high degree of isolation from fellowship with other believers and fellow church members leaving us in a quandary as to what we can do like online contact and phone calls. Opening up church services does not fill the bill completely because of all the safety measures. The silver lining to all we are going through “alone together” gives cause to focus on the Lord and our prayer life. After all, his desire for our fellowship with him and realization of his person in us trumps all.

TEXT for Tuesday, April 7
Here we are in the third day of Holy Week in the countdown to victory to Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday observances of the Lenten season. During this week should ask the Holy Spirit to shine his light on our souls to see if there is any unclean thing in us for which we must repent and receive forgiveness. The Lenten season of humbling ourselves before God and turning from our sinful ways and identifying with Christ and his death and resurrection continues. It culminates with the joy of the Resurrection on Sunday!

Right now God has a captive audience if you recognize what is going on. We are undearrestessentially! He is speaking loudly for people of Earth to come to him through his son, Jesus the Messiah/Christ! He is THE Way, THE Truth, THE Life,

SMELL THE BACON!
What an inviting smell to wake up and smell the bacon at a summer cottage from an outdoor campfire! I have a lot of fond memories of that. Right now, God is saying, “Wake up and smell the bacon!” God is saying to wake up and hear his loving call to come to him. Believe in your heart in the death of Jesus the Messiah for taking the rap owed for the sin of the world. Believe in his resurrection to give us eternal life and confess with our mouths he is our Lord and Savior! Then we will say, yes I smell the bacon and am having some rather than being full of fear! Being full of glory and joy unspeakable!

CHASTISEMENT OF A LOVING FATHER
When I came back from Indianapolis, more than three weeks ago, all hell seemed to break loose. I never dreamed things could happen so quickly; in one hour the earth has become like the picture in the song “The King is Coming”, “the marketplace is empty…,,etc.” God has given us warnings like the twin towers and Pentagon in America, earthquakes, floods, fires, and locust and fires in Australia. People refused the loving hand of Jesus/Yeshua then. What about now? He has to shake the world into reality! I hate to think of what will happen next if we don’t respond. I don’t want to see people respond out of fear but rather to come during this period of God disciplining in love because we did not hear before!
Isaiah prophesied in his book chapter 26:9, “My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you.
When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.”

ME, A SINNER?
“Let anyone who is without sin cast the first stone”, Jesus said to the religious leaders who wanted to stone the adulteress. Look at the cross of Jesus/Yeshua and what do you see? Do you see your sin and mine on the cross? Anyone who does not is blind. Roman 3:22-24 speaking about the righteousness he gives for us in place of our sin: “This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ/Messiah to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” We all need him as our Lord and Savior. Don’t wait; the time is short!
