Thought

Thought: LTC is a ________ kind of church. What would people say? What would God say? What do we want them to say? Hmmmm.
Some choices: caring, loving, evangelistic, giving, hardworking, follower of Jesus, different; or would they say "They know Jesus at that church."? How can you do your part to shape this congregation?
Some ideas: give God the first five minutes of your day, seriously pray several times a day, obey what you know God wants you to do, faithfully read God's Word, listen, memorize Scripture, meet consistently with other believers, disciple someone else---these are all things we know to do. Just do it. Paul stressed, "I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death; and so somehow to attain to the resurrection from the dead."---Phil.3:10,11
