“After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church.”
        —Ephesians 5:29

“But each one should be careful how he builds. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man’s work.”
        —1 Corinthians 3:10-15

What does a “healthy” church look like?  For church leaders and builders, it is the fundamental question of our time, deserving sober thinking and wide-open, undefensive discussion.  With most of us having spent the last 4-5 years identifying and extirpating unhealthy patterns and practices in our congregations, we now have a pretty good idea of what doesn’t edify the church and what doesn’t lead it to maturity.

HOPE worldwide and Benevolence Committee Update

As a result of the ILC meeting in Los Angeles a number of committees were created to address needs that our fellowship faces together.

This is the first quarterly report from the Cooperation Service Team that was appointed at the Delegates meeting at the recent International Leadership Conference in Anaheim, California .
I am finding the learning curve is steep in our first months of the Cooperation Service Team but at the same time, it is encouraging to see that our new simple structure is both flexible and working.
