A few years ago, for the first time in my born again life, I was troubled by a feeling of being disenfranchised from the church we were members of (and still are, by the way). So I began to pray about it, asking God what was the matter with me. He showed me some sin in my own life, which I've had to own up to, but He also showed me some fatal flaws in the system that our church is a part of.
As I "listened" to what God had to say, He opened my eyes to the fact that the whole…

What is the purpose of our life? Why should i alive and doing hard work for everything?
These are the questions always in my mind when i was not in CHRIST BELIEVE. When i came in Christ with the powerful word of GOD, that time I realize there is purpose of my life; there are certain things which only i can do which were set specifically for me only.
In football team if we take out the GOAL, and ask to the players now play. What happen when players taking the football to the goal but if goal is not there? They became frustrated very soon.
Peoples are frustrated, hopeless; perish because they don’t have any goal for their life. They are doing lot of hard work but in result they found nothing. Rom 8:29For whom he did foreknow, .. conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose..
Ask to the lord for the vision, purpose of our life and he answered and blesses us, Show us the specific work of him.
Hi Joanne, I would love to meet the Barrs. If they are open to you connecting us somehow by giving phone numbers [410-536-5377] or email [[email protected]] I would look forward to enjoying fellowship with them and learning how similar and how different we are. Regardless of that I always enjoy meeting the Lord's people.
Well we are a small group of about 20 people that have been meeting for about 18 years. Maybe the best way to describe us is we are a non-denominational evangelical church. When we first started meeting we were about 30/35 and grew a little but for the most part have been getting smaller over the last few years. We have always met in rented facilites for sundays because no one has a house big enough for us and even at 20 that is still true. We have met in homes during the week but since we started renting the place in Linthicum we gather there for most things.
We have all come from more institutional churces of one form or another but many of us have been in similar non-denominational groups before we started meeting in 92. There are probably some here who could never go back to that type of church and others who could and would.
I trust we are a more oganic gathering but the truth is only the Lord knows for sure. We don't have much by way of programs or orgnaization but rather are looking to the Lord to do in us and through us what we could never do ourselves. And they like me, to use your phrase, "have longed for more meaningful connections with other believers." Well that is not much of a description but it is the best I can do for now.
Hope to hear from you soon.
