The first time the word "church" appears in the Bible is in the writings of Matthew when Jesus told Peter: "And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18). It may seem like a basic question but if asked, do you know how to define what the church is?

Every major and minor Christian denomination proclaims to have their roots in the early Christian church. If we truly want to understand what the Church is we must go beyond all the denominational writings and go to the only source that is reliable and can reveal to us the truth and nothing but the truth.

Each Christian denomination claims to be faithful to the teachings of the apostles, the Scriptures and church tradition. Most of them proclaim that the Word of God is inspired and infallible (incapable of error). However, we have so many denominations due to disagreements on a variety of doctrinal points of view supposedly extracted from the Bible. Is this characteristic of the church Jesus established?

As we look into the corridors of history people had different interpretations of what the Church is. For almost 300 years the church was not institutionalized. During that time the followers of Jesus Christ suffered tremendous persecution at the hands of the Roman Empire. The church grew in numbers and strength. Is modern day Christianity needing persecution to hold fast to the purity of God's Word? Not necessarily.

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word “church”? Perhaps it’s not as easy as it may seem to answer that question since it evokes many things to the mind. To most people the word church is associated with buildings, denominations, and a variety of special programs for individuals, families, and the needy, among other services. But, is that the true meaning? What does God expect from those who are part of his church?

We are to be God’s instrument in bringing the new converts to a greater understanding of their new life in Christ. We must understand the mind of Christ in our life and the importance for others to acquire the same understanding. We all have the responsibility to impart the knowledge we have gained from God.

We must always be aware that every idea that comes to our mind, every word and decision we make originates in the spiritual world. It is up to us to know what spirit is behind it, the Spirit of God or the spirit Satan.

Every idea and word originates not in the mind of man but in the spiritual realm. The spiritual realm has two sources, God and Satan. From Genesis to Revelation the believer is exhorted to be very careful what he or she believes and makes everyone responsible for what they allow their mind to develop; “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God…” (1 John 4:1).

How am I going to let my mind be influenced? This is question we must all answer constantly every day. From the moment we come in contact with God's knowledge everything changes. An example of this is the conversation recorded in Matthew 16:15-22 "Who do you say that I am?" How can truth and deception flow from the same mind like it did from Peter? How can we avoid falling into the same dangerous trap?

Man’s philosophical view of life is crumbling and it won't be long until everything he has proclaimed to be truth collapses. God’s foundational knowledge since creation of the universe and earth is still here and it is the opportunity for the new generation of biblical Christians to rebuild the world.

It becomes clearer that having a new life in Christ Jesus implies the development of a new nature in order to become like him. The Gospels give us insight on how the mind of Christ functioned while on earth that we may not be misled into thinking that it is impossible to be like Jesus; our desire and commitment is to accept Christ’ offer to learn from him.

About The Future of America

We want to help restore America's original foundation in biblical Christian principles which made it the most powerful and prosperous nation in the world in a relatively short time but America has not reached it full potential. Ideas have consequences and they are passed on from generation to generation. To eradicate error, the moral and ethical principles of the Bible must be firmly established in the hearts and minds of each individual. If America is going to survive, its citizens must become re-acquainted with its history, heritage and biblical immovable principles and apply them once again to all areas of life. We hope this program will inspire and challenge you so together we can fulfill our responsibility before God and country to make the difference for our generation many generations to come.
