And Such Were Some of You
Here, in the midst of this land of death and despair, drunkenness and debauchery, there is a thriving local church. Many have been spiritually born again and are alive in a way that they’ve never known.

An Exhortation to Elders, part 3
Spiritual eldership is a sobering and serious responsibility for God-called and God-gifted men to serve God’s church in God’s way for God’s glory. We must evaluate our heart and ministry in light of the certainty of the coming of Jesus Christ
An Exhortation to Elders (cont)
Love for the Lord will motivate elders to imitate the care of the Good Shepherd. God directed his people as a flock, leading them through the wilderness. So too, Jesus leads his sheep going before them. The elder-shepherd is not a cowboy, driving his flock like cattle. He leads them as a shepherd would, walking on ahead

Now that a year has passed, it would seem fitting and proper for us all to pause a moment and consider what great things the Lord has done for us!
No Longer Spiritually Weak and Starved…Celebrating God’s Word in Calvary Bible Church

Why I Love the Local Church
I suppose that from my earliest days I remember being involved with the local church. The actual earliest memory that I have of “church things” is sitting near the back of a building on a pew (organ side) and eating a snack of fruit loops or some kind of cereal from a plastic baggie. That is, as honestly as I can say it, my earliest memory of the church. And that was actually in the church I currently serve, Calvary Bible Church.
