Vital Step to a Radiant Faith-Build Up The Church

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is to build up the church.

You could find reasons to criticize the church. That’s because God’s church is made of imperfect people.

But the question before us is this: Will we be part of the solution to build up the church or contribute to the problem and tear it down?

Ephesians 5:25 says that Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. The way we can become part of the solution is by having the attitude of Christ for the church.

Start with a loving heart for the people in the church, and then be a source of encouragement through our words and acts of service.

Ephesians 4:29 says, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”

Building Up the Church is a Vital Step to a Radiant Faith that makes a difference in our world.
