"The glory of the gospel is that when the Church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it. It is then that the world is made to listen to her message, though it may hate it at first. That is how revival comes. That must also be true of us as individuals. It should not be our ambition to be as much like everybody else as we can, though we happen to be Christian, but rather to be as different from everybody who is not a Christian as we can possibly be. Our ambition should be to be like Christ, the more like Him the better, and the more like Him we become, the more we shall be unlike everybody who is not a Christian" D Martyn Lloyd-Jones
We would like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome you to our blog, where we can keep you updated with what's happening in our churches around the country. We believe God has a plan and a purpose for our network of churches here in Ireland. We consider it a delight and a privilege to be called to carry God's message, to share His love and tell His story to this generation.
Do you know that comments can not be made on your captivated blog. Is this intentional? Just letting you know in case you hadn't realised.
ReplyDeletePeace and Grace bro.
