ChurchApplied: In Motion

By

What if every Adventist member found a way to actively share their faith–daily? What if it wasn’t a production, a program or an event as much as it was a way of life? What if we figured out how to apply “church” to our daily lives? We would be changed and our communitites would be changed. The name ChurchApplied is meant to convey that what we talk and sing about in our churches needs to be “applied” to our lives.

A Monthly Magazine Pointing Kids to Jesus

By

Guide is developing a new magazine that will help young people choose Jesus. Called Real, it will have the same Christ-centered stories that have made Guide magazine such a hit with Seventh-day Adventist juniors and earliteens (ages 10-14). But this magazine will be for children of all faiths.

Dangerous Faith

By

“What’s dangerous about the world today is not belief in God or unbelief but ruthless certainty.”

–Lisa Miller, Newsweek Magazine

The only thing we should be ruthless about is our passion to love God and the people He calls us to serve. Unfortunately, some see themselves as chosen by God to eradicate all evil (which often means imposing their beliefs and opinions upon others against their will). History is replete with examples of monarchs, dictators and leaders who have tried to force faith. It has always resulted in some form of persecution.

We have only to remember what happened in the Dark Ages when the Church tried to impose their definition of truth upon the people of Europe. You can read about the devastating results in J.A. Wylie’s History of Protestantism.

A Distorted Gospel

By

“Unless the church of the Lord Jesus creates a counter-current to the drift of materialism, self-indulgence, and nationalism, Christians will merely adapt to the secular environment in a tragic distortion of the gospel, in which the words of Jesus are reinterpreted to mean anything, everything, and nothing.”

–Brennan Manning

Actually, this is exactly what has happened to Christianity in the West, and most certainly North America. Our culture is based on consuming things (lots of things). We throw away resources, including food, like there is no tomorrow. We worship at the alter of convenience and show little concern for how we treat the earth and its inhabitants.

Of all people, Christians should be conservative when it comes to the world and its limited supply of resources. As divinely appointed stewards, one day we will have to give an account for our actions and attitudes of wasteful consumption.

May God free us from the idea that our value is determined by how much we own!
