Scripture Memorization, Week 21

By Christians, Devotional, Encouragement

For the next several weeks, the memory verse will be from Romans, looking at what has been called “The Roman Road”.

Romans has been described as one comprehensive look at what it means to be a believer; from start to finish. If you study this book well, you’ll have a great understanding of who you are in Christ.

I certainly understood the question. It’s a pressure I’ve experienced many times in my life, especially during certain seasons. In fact, I’m sensing it again as I entered the empty-nester phase of life.

I gave him one word of advice that has helped me during those seasons. Perhaps you need to hear this as well….

5 Types of Church Visitors

By Church, Church Planting

One thing pastors love is church visitors. Really, what we like even more is church visitors who become regular church attenders, but that process starts with visitors. It’s always a mystery why some visit and never come back. The reasons may be the subject of another post, but one thing I’ve learned, much of the chance for return depends on what type of visitor the visitor happens to be.

I have discovered there are basically 5 types of visitors to a church:
