A church that keeps the MAIN THING THE MAIN THING will be a church ALIVE! There will be life! When Jesus is the center and life of the church then John 10:10 will be become a reality! Life will be abundant!
There will be life in the members. Obviously, when Jesus becomes your life -- then there will be life in the church. The life of Christ brings many things to the believer.
- Love
- Joy
- Peace
- Longsuffering
- Kindness
- Goodness
- Faithfulness
- Gentleness
- Self-control
There will be life in the ministries. So many times in churches there seems to be NO life in the ministry of the church. Tradition, resistance to change or a variety of other things has choked the life right out. However when Jesus is the MAIN THING the ministry will be filled with life...HIS LIFE! He will bring the passion, faithfulness, truth, and resources to the ministies to the church. When I think of ministries that are really making a difference in the world -- they are life filled ministries that are walking by faith and not by sight.
In our church -- First Baptist Church of Sylacauga, Alabama -- LET THERE BE LIFE -- LET THERE BE JESUS
