The Church
That´s us, the Body of Christ, the Bride of Christ. What does the Bible say about how we´re supposed to function and what our destiny is?
A Day of Remembrance  Memorial Day, once called Decoration Day, honors those who have died in our nation’s service. From the beginning of history, God has established memorials to help us not to forget our history. Remembering the past is essential to living well in the present, no matter what new age gurus say. God´s Surgery  The process of sanctification can be painful, but God has only our best interest at heart. How to Keep Troubles in Perspective  Our town is hurting. Mill and business closures have put many out of a job. Is my husband’s job next? I wonder, with a faint frisson of panic. Then I read about Zimbabwe, where the unemployment rate is 95%. The only bright spot there is the church. How do they keep their troubles in perspective?
One Blood  I was rude to someone else’s guest. I couldn’t help it. A grown man, who professes to be a follower of Jesus Christ, told a racist joke at a dinner gathering. He’s lucky I only expressed my heartfelt opinion of his “humor” instead of smacking his smug face.

You can’t tell who it is, because she has her Sunday face on. He might be sitting beside her, with his on, too. The Royal Family  The Saints. A Royal Priesthood. The Body of Christ. The Bride of Christ. The Sheep of His Hand. Christians as a group are called by many names in Scripture, and each is worthy of contemplation and study. My favorite names, though, are the ones describing us as part of God’s family.
