Evangelical Christianity is now tragically below the New Testament standard. Worldliness is an accepted fact of our way of life. Our religious mood is social instead of spiritual. – A.W. Tozer
Is that not true in CCF and many of our fellowships? How often have we, on committee and as leaders, strained to devise worldly management [...]
You can love someone deeply and yet be a poor lover.
That’s because one is about feeling and the other about action. Both is a kind of love, but having the first without the second seems rather inadequate — and it is. Just as faith should not be without deeds, love should not be without loving.
God is the beginning and source of all love and life.
When we come to know God loves us, and has loved us first
we come to love God.
When we come to know God loves us, though we are with so many faults

Biblically speaking the word “good” appears 614 times in the NIV, whereas “nice” appears… well not at all. Granted–this [...]
Church is not just a place where Christians with individual faith gather from time to time for worship and for instruction. If it is not a living community family which edifies and brings to reality the life of Christ, then it has failed on a critical point.

In CCF Bible Study this past Friday we looked into Luke 6:27-38 to gain a better understanding of the model of love Christ teached and practiced. The passage offers much wisdom with philosophies which conflict very much with worldly perspectives. Many groups found themselves debating over the meaning of “turning the other cheek”: framed perhaps [...]
Many new Christians have the misconception that a Christian life is supposed to be easy. After having come into the arms of God, afterall, shouldn’t we have it easy? What with having the very Lord of the universe backing you…
The truth is that there is some sort of duality in this issue.
Isaiah 43:2 (KJV)
