A
Little May Go A Long Way
A young man preached his heart out. He was barely
23 years old and this was his first gospel meeting. How his heart
did beat when he received the invitation to come and preach for
the small group of brethren in this little community. Visions of
huge crowds, high excitement, lots of responses filled his head as
he contemplated the coming event. When the time came he was almost
out of breath with excitement.
Although the crowds were fair, there was seemingly very little
excitement during the meeting. Brethren listened attentively, but
their reaction was basically one of quiet politeness. He preached
his heart out for two weeks.

What is your idea of a "Church"?
Sometimes our understanding of certain things is colored by what
we've been taught in the past or by a perception which has been
shaped by culture. When people think of "church," they
may be thinking of a building or a denomination or even an
association or club of some kind. But none of these are what the
Bible means by the term "church."
A Bible Definition
The term "church" itself does not neccessairly have a
religious connotation. It is used in Acts 19, for example, to
describe; an assembly in a city - a "town meeting." But
Jesus Christ invested the term with rich spiritual meaning when He
said, "I will build My church and the gates of Hades will not
overpower it" (Matthew 16:18).
