    Is it still necessary to join a local church?

    Can you say that you BELONG to our Church or YOUR Church? IF NOT, GO there Sunday & join it! Here in a post by Alistair Begg listen why YOU must join your LOCAL church & be part of it.

    I listen to their podcast daily & so could you.

    Want to greet me (& I don’t mean just because FB reminded you its my birthday today)? Go to my LOCAL church tomorrow. I would have been there today, but have other responsibilities.

    (I Hope that you are a member.)

    IF you live too far from us (& most of you do) YOU know how face-to-face relationships work even online (& many of you have my cell/live video number).

    The best GIFT you could greet me with online would be to ADD your comment to THIS or any of my 900+ posts on my website talkofJESUS.com (which is NOT a personal BLOG, but parts of it could be IF you join the conversation.

    Thanks. Grace & peace. (Now add your Comment to me, friend.)

    Vinny LaGuardia, a Life interrupted

    Vinny, interrupted by death

    I was writing Christian fiction and starting a website to promote a book which needed an audience. Then my first month’s posts on talkofJESUS.com eight years ago in 2013 were interrupted when my good friend from church was murdered.

    Even as he and I both witnessed for Jesus Christ in our seemingly safe community, the Lord allowed it when he was killed by a disgruntled man firing shots into a building where Vinnie sat in the audience.

    Scriptures

    John 2, 4, 5 & 14

    Matthew 24

    “At that time there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left. Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.

    Matthew 24:40-42 NASB

    Christ’s CHURCH – Vision and Mission

    our church Mission

    Our local church has a vision, a mission statement and much more. (Most likely you church does too.) Do you know your church vision? Does your pastor preach scripture to you and your church?

    In a brief look at traditional business plans of local churches I provide the saints (church members) with some food for thought.

    Do you have one related to God’s will?

    Here’s my Statement of Faith.
