Study Notes
Challenging and short thoughts derived from my own personal reading and study of God's word

The original churches did not strive to distinguish themselves by being different than all the other local churches. As a matter of fact, in so many ways, they were taught to be the same.

 "Therefore I urge you, imitate me. For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church" (1 Cor. 4:16-17, NKJV).

Churches need to spend less time worrying about how to please the world and more time striving to please the Lord. Churches need to 'do church' His way, not our way!
