Friday: Further Thought – Jesus Ministered to Their Needs — 5 Comments

  1. If PMC church 9 day evangelistic effort is successful, maybe ADRA and ASI,and ?, can do more "projects" for community services in America, and maybe the GC, NA Div, Unions, and local Conferences can indicate a willingness to assist in the funding of such activities, such as needy church members and the homeless...

    • Not sure how a Pioneer Memorial Church (Berrien Springs, Michigan, USA) is supposed to affect ADRA and ASI. As for ministering to needy church members and the homeless in our communities, we, in our local churches, are in the best position to do so. If you see a need, perhaps God is calling you to fill that need - perhaps with the help of others?

      The GC administrators oversee the world-wide work of the church and are not in a position to minister to local needs, and neither are union administrators. If there is a great need - as a disaster in a local area - the local church can call on both the local conference and ADRA to help fill the need. Whatever the case, the local church is key. And that means that we, as local members, can be blessed by getting involved.

      • I am merely trying to say that maybe our entire church - in North America - focuses on harvesting at the expense of seed planting.

    • Recently read a book "Epic" which details the progress of a project to find the life expectancy of people in every country and what the limitations to that long life might be. For instance, people in the Amazon die from water borne illness, not heart disease, etc. Bill Gates helped to fund it because he is spending his fortune to eliminate world diseases. He is a motivator to local government, but his fortune is miniscule in comparison to the cost spent at each local level. He really only can make recommendations.
      We are in much the same position. Our local church budget will do much more than anything that comes from the conference or GC.

  2. Thinking about Apostle Paul and Mars hill. ... I wonder how many unknown Gods do we come in contact with? Knowing who God is, is the most important information to finding a path for worship. It is said that everyone worships something. If our focus is on our Creator God, we have the right God.
