Church Leadership

Since the earliest days of the Church, the faithful have sought divine assistance through the use of the litany, which is an alternating form of prayer. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a Marian litany originally approved in 1587 by Pope Sixtus V. It is also known as the Litany of Loreto from its place of origin, the Shrine of Our Lady of Loreto in Italy. Twelve invocations refer to Mary as Mother whilst six extoll her as Virgin. Thirteen titles are derived from the Old Testament, followed by four calling on her as helper and advocate. The last 13 name Mary as Queen.

Coming into a better understanding of who we are in God will open the way for us to receive our inheritance as sons of the Kingdom. Everything that we are in him is wrapped up in discovery.

From the surface, it sounds very nice and like an event of spiritual peace among these two major denominations, that would be such a wonderful thing to see happen but is it even remotely realistic or achievable? Maybe the more important question would be this: Does God desire for such opposed religious practices to reach a point of saying "Every road leads to God.", when the Holy Scriptures do not at all endorse such a position?

The Apostle Paul said that the rapture will happen "at the last trumpet". Hear how the rapture relates to Rosh HaShanah, the Feast of Trumpets, one of the seven feasts God gave to the Nation of Israel. My friend, someday you will turn on the news and see that millions of people have suddenly and mysteriously disappeared from all around the world. As I write this brochure, this disappearance is a future event known as "The Rapture of the Church".

The Lord God gives and releases His Word to the Prophets to bear and carry in the Earth until His purpose is fulfilled. When the Prophets of God prophesy the Lords Judgment, then the Angelic Angels of the Most High God are released to enforce it, executing His Judgments on Earth. Time is of a lesser, and days of an ending.

I feel that Christian Churches, available for attendance to worship God and to receive from His written Word, are the most important institutions that exist. Nations that practice freedom of religion and worship are blessed to have this privilege and people of the world who desire this but who are not allowed this privilege, would love to trade places with us who do. The Church is also a place of sanctuary from the everyday problems we face in life.

Does the phrase church discipline sound like an oxymoron? The church’s message is about grace, we reason, while discipline feels like the opposite of grace. In fact, Jesus taught his disciples to practice church discipline because it’s one way congregations grow in holiness and imitate God’s own love. In this audiobook, Jonathan Leeman presents biblical answers to questions about the nature and application of church discipline, conveying that Scripture presents church discipline as both loving and necessary.

We are now in a season where it has become popular to use the “coined” phrase Marketplace Ministry. But many believers still aren’t quite sure what marketplace ministry is and isn’t. While everyone is called to the great commission, there is a unique group of Kingdom Believers who fit into a broad yet very specific category that includes: SoloPreneurs, entrepreneurs, serial business developers, music and arts professionals, and more.

Speaking of the Greek priests of Korfou, the erudite bishop of Lincoln, lately deceased, has remarked, “There is something very picturesque in the appearance of these persons, with their black caps resembling the modius seen on the heads of the ancient statues of Serapis and Osiris, their long beards and pale complexions, and their black flowing cloak, - a relic, no doubt, of the old ecclesiastical garment of which Tertullian wrote.”

Many churches have an official process to join their membership. Is this really a biblical practice? The authors show that the Bible assumes the necessity of formal church membership so that we can fulfill the commands and apply the promises given to the church. Clearly and carefully, and answering contemporary objections along the way, the authors make the biblical case that God desires the members of His heavenly kingdom to join with the earthly society that reflects it Christ's body, the church.
