Why church?

  Why Church?   I am going to attempt to offer a simple and clear answer to this question. As such it will lack MUCH in terms proof, since that would immediately and greatly lengthen the article. So I will just say now that for a more in-depth answer, I have a separate article which I link to at the end of this one. First let me clarify what I mean by ‘church’ in this article. In the Bible, the word church is used two ways. First and most importantly the word church is used for God’s whole family in […]

I want to take a moment to consider, I mean really consider what is being said here. Jesus was given TO US! Think about that! Most of us are aware that Jesus was given FOR us, but to realize yet another and perhaps even deeper truth (in that is speaks to the very reason FOR salvation since it is relational to it’s core) – Jesus was give TO us… For unto US!
