Love for the Church (2)

The strengths of the church are not earthly things.  If we are caught up in the outward, earthly characteristics of the church, then most of the time we will find the church difficult to love; we will not want much to do with her.  But we are called to observe the spiritual strengths of the church: her towers, bulwarks, and palaces as Psalm 48:12-13 calls them.  Click here to read Rev. Rodney Kleyn's explanation of all the wonderful strengths of the church and of our necessary calling in regards to them.

This month’s theme for the app content is “The Necessity of Membership within a True Church of Jesus Christ” in preparation for a free public lecture event held by Hope Protestant Reformed Church on November 11, 2016.  Professor David Engelsma will speak on this topic, answering such questions as “Is membership in a church really necessary?’ and “What qualities should I seek for in a church home?”  To learn more, click here to visit Hope’s website for the event.
