Default A "well" church

A “Well” Church

Pastor and author Greg Laurie says that Churches are “well” when they practice these activities:

W-orship
E-vangelize
L-earn
L-ove

Like the early church we should be active in these ways today.

Worship. We must meet together for fellowship, communion, prayer and praise (Acts 2:42,47). God is to be the focus of all we do in His church.

Evangelise. As we share the Word, the Lord will add believers to the church (v47). We can all take part in spreading God’s Word by developing a friendship, by giving someone an article about the gospel, or by sharing some Scripture verses with a stranger.

Learn. We must continue learning sound doctrine taught by qualified leaders (v42). The bible is filled with instruction for living, and we should take every opportunity to learn from it, apply it to our lives, and teach others.

Love. We are to share with whoever has need, and enjoy the fellowship of other believers regularly (vv.45-46).
A church whose members worship, evangelise, learn and love will be a “well” church, effective in the community, and appreciated by “all the people” (v47).Anne Cetas

Evangelise is okay as long as they don't push it on to people.

To bad the bible is missing a great deal of information, that some people wouldn't want to have in.

I'm not a mod, but is it OK if I defend it?



This is a discussion forum, not a debate. I think that respectful questions can be asked, but challenges need to be reserved for the debate forums.



Peace,
Mystic

I was raised a baptist.

Looking back after so many years absent, the only thing I really miss are the after service dinners.

Lol, that sounds nice, the church I go to only does that on special occasions but it is always a really nice family atmosphere.
