    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.

    Scriptures

    1 Timothy 1:15

    Let’s cut the crap! Are we under Construction?

    What Crap?

    ‘Our CHURCH has no crap to deal with,’ you say.

    Nonsense! In a brief post by a reader he addresses such crap using an illustration from Nehemiah.

    • Definition
      1. usually vulgar : FECES
      2. usually vulgar : the act of defecating
    • slang, sometimes vulgar : NONSENSE, RUBBISH also : STUFF

    (O.K. Maybe we don’t take any time to talk of JESUS with our brother or sister in Christ. This Christian could use some construction to fix some of it AND so could others in our CHURCH.))

    Since you are a fellow Christian under construction, here’s your chance to COMMENT on any post. Talk of JESUS {dot.com} welcomes your questions and comments.
