The Bible was not given to increase our knowledge It was given to change our lives. We need to turn truth into action and doctrine into deeds. The most Christ like thing that we can do is to serve others. We exist to serve. The business of the church is service.
Self esteem comes from service.
We need to serve the needs of the unchurched before they will become the churched. We are hiding nothing from you and our hearts are absolutely open to you. What you see is what you get. We must not be enslaved to an image. Our public and private images need to match.
