Title: WHAT MAKES A GREAT CHURCH? Post by: Brother Love on October 06, 2004, 07:17:02 AM WHAT MAKES A GREAT CHURCH?
Not big budgets... but great hearts. Not tall steeples... but lofty vision. Not money received... but service rendered. Not record-breaking attendance... but God's presence. Not frantic notions... but dedicated action. Not soft seats and bright lights... but shining examples in our lives. Not loud talking... but quiet doing. Not members in beautiful clothes... but members with beautiful lives. Not preachers with degrees... but teachers with loving truth. Not things done in the past... but things being done NOW and in the FUTURE. (http://www.sirinet.net/~blkidps/blgif1.gif) Title: Re:WHAT MAKES A GREAT CHURCH?

Since this part of the forum is “debate” I felt compelled to comment/question what you said. First, I would like to say that I relate to the meaning of your message – or what I interpret as your message. But, I would also like to ask… since you use the word “not” in every line… are you saying that all those things are negative or incorrect in some manner? Please clarify, if you have the time, my brother. May the Peace of Christ be with you. Jaime Title: WHAT MAKES A GREAT CHURCH?

Post by: Jemidon2004 on October 29, 2004, 09:15:07 AM A great church has Christ at the center, and not entertainment.
A great Church has The Teaching of the Word of God at the center and not a CD recording. A great church has a Pastor who teaches what the Lord's Flock NEEDS to hear, and not what it wants to hear. Just a few i just thought of. Joshua Title: WHAT MAKES A GREAT CHURCH? Post by: Brother Love on October 30, 2004, 11:30:02 AM A great church has Christ at the center, and not entertainment.
