it comes to Bible study we need to take it seriously.
we ought to make every effort to do our best in it,
we need to make haste about it and We need to be eager
about it.
The
issue of finding a local church has been the problem
of many people throughout the ages. This guideline,
I pray, will be helpful to those who are in the midst

qualified leadership, the church will not function properly.
There are many leaders today that are motivated by the
wrong reasons. There are many young preachers today
that are painfully impatient with God’s timing." by
Dr. Steven Cook
Well,
should we invite unbelievers to Church? That’s quite
a question and the answer is not what you may think.

"Blessed
[is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth
in the seat of the scornful". Psalm 1:1
"He
that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth
from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God
was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the
devil." 1John 3:8

heroes to support the validity of what they believe
"But
there were false prophets also among the people, even
as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily
shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord
that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."
2Peter 2:1
"Knowing
that Jesus knows our thoughts brings conviction of sin,
shows us our need of forgiveness, and allows us to believe
on Him as our Saviour" by Steve Ostrom
The
last thing I wish to do is start some kind of panic,
or chime in with the many voices of sensationalism over
the end times, but read and see for yourself if there
not even a loose connection between the Satan's number
and a code that happens to power every single dynamic
internet webpage.
