A wing and a Prayer

Dear reader the very phrase of "a wing and a prayer" immediately conjures to the mind, a venture taken on the basis of faith. I assert, dear reader, as you read this, you do have faith. It may be the faith of a clear clarion call to worship some recognized deity within this world. For those in this position, please join with me, as we will consider in coming weeks the nature of any such deity. It is however, dear reader, to those who would claim no such adherence, to whom the very suggestion of a higher being or intelligent designer causes consternation, irritation or downright anger. It is to you, that today's question will be placed, "what is faith?". For some, faith must be in the wild and the unseen, the intangible and often in onlookers minds the unknowable. It can dear readers seem, that the more extreme and ridiculous a situation, idea, or deity, a person forces themselves to place their faith in, the happier they are. For those who consider the...

Community

There is Dear Reader, a gift from the almighty which goes beyond it's simple name, it has come to be known as Church, yet in truth it is a community of faith. One writer describes it as this: Jesus, was clearly a man on a mission. Sent by the Father, Jesus came humbly, went to the cross, rose, and reconciled people back to God. "Church is Jesus' people by the power of the Holy Spirit," The local church can be defined as "a community of regenerated believers who confess Jesus Christ as Lord. In obedience to Scripture they organize under qualified leadership , gather regularly for preaching and worship , observe the biblical sacraments of baptism and communion, and are unified by the spirit, are disciplined for holiness, and scattered to fulfill the Great Commandment and the Great Commission as missionaries to the world for God's glory and their joy." The question is, are we part of such a community?, for without that connection we cannot claim to be fully...
