- CHRISTIANS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
-
- "Please be patient, God isn't finished with me yet."
- Believers in Jesus could wear a big yellow sign, "Christian
- under construction."
-
- After being "born again", the Christian baby believer
- is responsible to FEED on the "milk of the Word" (see I
- Peter 2:2 and Hebrews 5:12-14) and to GROW as a Christian
- (see II Peter 3:18).
-
- God Himself is at work in the lives of Christians, at
- times providing "crisis experiences" of grace, but mostly
- providing a progressive ongoing growth through the everyday
- grind of life.
-
- The apostle Paul wrote to people he loved dearly, "For
- I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good
- work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus."
- (Philippians 1:6 NAS) The phrase "will perfect it" is given
- in other versions as "will bring it to completion" or "will
- keep on working" until that Day.
-
- Believers in Christ not only escape the well-deserved
- sentence of Hell by God's grace, but it is also entirely in
- the power of God's grace that we live our daily lives and
- grow as persons toward Christlike maturity.
-
- If you are already a believer in Jesus, and not
- committed to the ministry of another Bible-believing church,
- we invite you to come grow with us.
-
- If you are not yet a believer in Jesus, we urge you to
- put your trust in Him. We also invite you to read the
- little letter of Paul to the Philippians in the New
- Testament. Most folks could read it out loud in ten
- minutes. It is some of the most tender and personal
- material in the Bible, and it speaks of Paul's love for his
- friends and his faith in his Savior, even in the worst of
- circumstances. Read it for yourself.
-
- Come and visit us. We're confident!
