Have you joined God's church?
May 14, 2010
And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship…
--Acts 2:42
Did you know the Bible tells pastors that we are accountable for the members of our church? It's true.
But it's getting more and more difficult to be accountable for our members when we don't always know who they are or where they are.
Now, each pastor has to speak from his own experience, but I can tell you that at our church we have many faithful members. And we also have some unfaithful members.
Where it gets more interesting is that we also have a whole other group of people who attend our church every Sunday whom I call the faithful nonmembers. And, in fact, we even have some unfaithful nonmembers in the church. You see the challenge.
So since we are to give account before the Lord, let me encourage you to make a commitment to God's church… regardless of where you've been serving and worshipping Jesus.
Listen! I know there are some churches where no one asks you to be accountable. You just show up or don't show up and nobody cares. But that's not the New Testament church Jesus had in mind.
Jesus committed himself for you and that commitment took him all the way to Calvary's cross. Will you pick up your cross and follow him?
Follow in New Testament faith and devote yourself to Christ and his fellowship of believers.
PICK UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM.

OUR THANKS TO YOU!
Dear Friend,
Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today! --Jack Graham
