Everyone has a view. Mine comes from a biblio-centric worldview. I love to read other perspectives as it informs mine. I trust you will read with the same charity, hold fast to what you believe and be humble enough to consider alternate thoughts. I will do likewise.

A local church’s worship value is not primarily about the music but the lifestyle because you never ask, “Are you worshiping?” The reason is that we worship all the time. God made us for worship—wired us for worship, you could say.

Worship is part of what it means to be image-bearers. Who could do otherwise? The better question is, “What or whom do we worship?” https://lifeovercoffee.com/three-characteristics-of-a-fantastic-local-church/

Whenever a person chooses sinful anger, he is, in effect, giving the other person control over him. It’s counterintuitive. In his anger, he is like a marionette, a puppet on a string.

Anger toward someone is the total submission of their thoughts, attitudes, emotions, and behaviors to the other person. It is not self-control, as governed by the Spirit of God, but someone out of control or under the control of another spirit. https://lifeovercoffee.com/podcast/ep-110-help-for-the-angry-person/

Draw a circle in the middle of a piece of paper. Inside that circle, you write the word gospel—or Christ.

Now, draw lines from Christ to any spot on the paper and write a word at the end of the line, e.g., family, finances, vocation, health, hobbies, friends, sanctification, repentance, forgiveness, joy, etc. That’s the idea.

Christ is the centerpiece, who connects to every aspect of our lives. Everything in life flows from this gospel-centered worldview. Unfortunately, some churches place other things in the center of the circle, which is how they are known.

Whatever becomes your primary focus will become your identity. Every church has a central theme. https://lifeovercoffee.com/the-main-thing-to-look-for-when-looking-for-a-church/
