Gereja merupakan organisme yang hidup dan bukan sekedar organisasi buatan tangan manusia. Gereja harus di mulai di rumah tangga kita masing-masing dan bukan sekedar aktivitas religius belaka namun bagian kehidupan sehari-hari. Gereja harus jadi terang dan garam di luar dinding gedung gereja. Sebab gereja adalah kita

Spiritual Preppers?
Have you seen those programs about "preppers"?
They're storing up massive amounts of food, supplies, and ammunition as they prepare (prep) for doomsday.
I personally know one website making $1,000,000 A MONTH selling *information* on how to prep.
Well, there's something similar in the Bible that I call "spiritual prepping."
You see, the disciples once asked Jesus to tell them when He would return, and what would be the signs of the end.
Since then, Bible prophecy teachers have focused on the timing of His return (and they have always gotten it wrong).
Because Jesus said, "You won't know the day or the hour."
And since we don't know, He taught us to be prepared at all times.
In fact, He focused most of His teaching (Matthew 24 and 25) on spiritual prepping - how we are to live while we wait for His return.
(Hint: it's not hiding out in a mountain retreat, waiting for the end of the world.)
So you can focus on what you DON'T know (when will Jesus return?).
Or, you can focus on what you DO know (how did He tell us to live while waiting?).
I think we need to focus on what we DO know.
Specifically...
"What ARE we supposed to be doing while waiting for His return?"
These two messages explain everything...
And you can download them for free.
- THE SIGNS OF THE END (Matthew 24)
- THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS (Matthew 25)
