We were not meant to do faith alone. We were not meant to do church alone. The church is not a building we gather at. The church is group of people we meet with, serve with, learn with, worship with, and celebrate life with. Each of those stages take people willing to give of themselves to make that happen.

When fathers become Christians, they begin to take the responsibility to take care of their families seriously. After a few years of not sacrificing the family food source to the village gods, they begin to amass goats and chickens… good protein and good sources of income for the family. Within a few years, when the father’s attention turns toward loving their kids there are resources for the kids to eat, dress and even dream about higher education. 

Truth is an absolute that is defined by the things God (Jesus) says and proclaims. It is why we spend so much time teaching as a church… truth is part of the gift that God is giving to the world. He is the author if it. And if we want to know what is true or right, we need to dig into the things that he says and claims about the world. And when we do, we discover the truth about our universe, and about Him, and about us.
