THE ALIVE CHURCH
http://www.theempoweredchristian.com/

Can we today boast of such things that these early churches lived to die for? It is true to say that today’s churches are as radical for Christ’s cause as before. Only the body of Christ for each church can truly answer that. It is the body that is the church and when the early apostles started them, they were dynamic, led by the Holy Spirit and made radical changes in people’s lives. It was beautiful and simple. New believers or converts were asked to accept three prime pillars. The first; to honor, love God and the second to do the same to your neighbor. The third; to be disciples of Jesus. That’s it! No complications of theology, doctrines or rules. Of course, Paul encourages us to grow up, starting with milk and moving into the meat of the Word – 1 Corth. 3:2. But his intent was not for us to complicate the message of Salvation nor the actions required to be a ‘church’ for our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We are to be Christians! A follower of Christ.
