How Does the Baptist Church Help You Grow with the Bible?

“May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones. Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.” -Thessalonians 3:12-13

Your spiritual life needs nourishment to grow. There is a possibility that if you will not feed your soul, you can be like the earth when it is not watered. You too will turn barren and dry. Somehow, in turn makes you desperate in searching for nourishment. One of the ways God provides for our soul is through words and this can be found in only in the Bible. Who can guide you through the living words of the Bible? The Baptist Church. This means that the Bible speaks through us here – in our relation to the Purcellville Baptist Church. The Bible via the Baptist Church is God’s way of communicating to us! This is where He communicates His will through our lives. A spiritual refreshment which can only be nurtured as the Baptist Church shares to us their understanding of the Bible. If you let the Baptist Church and their teachings in, you will renewal and guidance – if you let it in.

The Baptist Church lets you grow with other people of the same faith

“The opening of Your words gives light, imparting understanding to the simple.” (Psa. 119:130)

Such a rich presence of God’s word will greatly affect your Christian life with other members of the congregation. It will fill your heart with grace which brings the enjoyment of God. Remember this, God’s word enlightens you and your fellow churchgoers. When the word of God comes, the first thing it does is bring light into your inner being.

The Baptist Church makes the word of God become food that nourishes

“Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.” (John 6:27)

This is not like eating physical food because God’s words are not limited to helping improve physical strength. God’s words are spiritual food. It is the water, milk, bread, and meat of your spiritual life. It’s everything you need for sustenance. If you want to grow as you should as a Christian -- feed on God's word! Lastly, the word of God is unlike the words that come from the mouth of men. Because the latter may speak a lot of things and still nothing happens. But when God speaks, you become a vessel that creates and a vessel that accomplishes.

As a remainder, the next time that you are in a public place, look at the faces of the people around you. As you look you will see many who seem to have no happiness in their heart, for the face doesn’t show it. Would the God that created us, created us not to enjoy life?

Philippians 3:13b-14, NIV, “But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Dear Father God, we come to you today with a grateful heart for showering us so much blessing and beautifully drowning us in your love. Unveil before us Oh Lord your will so that we may live a life not full of earthly desires and possessions, but instead full of you and you alone. Help us to truly realize that what we have right now are all temporary and that you alone and your Kingdom is eternal. Money, fame, jewelry, house, the people surrounding me and even me myself — all of these will perish. Help us see your genuine gifts and that we may only care about what you have given to us. Help us to resist temptation and any works of evil. Protect us in your might from anything against your power. We lift up everything to you Lord, in Spirit and in truth through your son Jesu...

2 Peter 3:9, NEB, “It is not that the Lord is slow in fulfilling his promise, as some suppose, but that he is very patient with you, because it is not his will for any to be lost, but for all to come to repentance.” Dear God, we thank you for your mercy. Thank you for your beautiful living promise. May we be patient enough to stay in faith and live in your presence until you come again and fulfill your covenant. Thank you for your patience Oh God. Despite our shortcomings in showing gratitude and giving praise to your name, you still have shown us immeasurable grace and love. We believe in your word to prosper us and not to harm us at all. As we walk with your words as our weapon, may we never be discouraged, but instead become even stronger and bolder warriors of your love. And as we conquer the whole world proclaiming your greatness to every nation as our king and our God, we may come most worthy of claiming our rights as your children. Let your kingdom come and your will be...

Philippians 3:20-21, NIV, “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.” Dear God, keep us close to you. Govern our minds and hearts so whatever we may do be done in the glory and in honor of our savior Jesus Christ. One who forever reigns the heaven and earth. We will wait for His coming for we believe that we will be renewed and cleansed deserving a citizenship in heaven. For this, help us Oh Lord to find enlightenment in your words and that we may be able to put them into action. Grant us a kind, forgiving, honest, patient and loving heart so that we may proclaim your goodness sincerely and truthfully to everyone. Keep us strong for every test that challenges our faith and love in you. We trust in you Oh God always in every step of the way. Amen. Calvary Road Baptist Ch...
