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 3:20-21, 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.

Isaiah 45:22-23, NIV, “Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear.” Dear God, how great of you. Everything here on earth is temporary — money is, fame is, jewelry is, even us humans. It is only you Lord God who is eternal — your Kingdom, your will, your love.

How to Be a Disciple in Today’s Manassas Baptist Church

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”Matthew 28:18-20 Today, we have a challenging question. Are you a true disciple of Jesus Christ or just a Christian? The Bible has passages that are the blueprint to those who claim that they are. By understanding what these writings mean, you will know what the Lord expects from you. But what makes a good disciple? Jesus knew what was in men's hearts. Today, a good disciple will take the initiative to listen to those around him or her. He or she will learn their names. He or she will take a keen interest in their everyday actions. A good disciple means to be a shepherd over the Lord's flock because discipleship goes beyond belief. It's the commitment to act, to speak, and to reach out to bring those lost back to the fold. Here
