To survive as a church in this modern western world, we need a huge paradigm shift of being missional. “Missional” is the buzz word today for outreach, evangelism, holistic gospel, and more. So it’s broad meaning can get lost in its overuse. I would define it as the incarnational reality of Christ naturally lived out to others, especially those far from God. Or more simply, Christ in us loving others far from God.
In revelation 2:4 Jesus states that nevertheless I have something against thee because, thou hast left thy first love. Jesus disciplines the people for having left their first love or their devotion to Christ. The church of Ephesus loved the Lord but they had lost their fervency and intensity they had for Jesus. Ephesus did many good things
Liberty Theological Seminary S.O.S. (Serving On Social-Networks) Evangelism Vision Paper Submitted to William Brown In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Course Contemporary Evangelism EVAN 565 By Jacqueline Jones 6 July 2012 Introduction According to Rom. 8:28, God makes all circumstances and situations good in the lives of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

While it is optimal that every human’s make up consist of all the right parts, not every personality will come to counseling complete due to external circumstances and life’s path in general. Hawkin’s model implies that every human beings make-up contains a complete personality and the core is influenced by the Holy Spirit. This is a weakness because only a Christian’s core has the ability to be influenced by the Holy Spirit. It is more reasonable to lean towards Crabb’s model in this area because he discusses the development of maturity in the Christian walk.
Bible Study, Prayer, Christian Therapy Of course a Christian rehab offers more than simply a few substituted words, and through group prayer, bible study and religious counseling; Christians can take strength and solace in the word of God as they work towards a better future of sobriety. Christian rehab or recovery treats addiction as a fundamentally spiritual problem, requiring of a spiritual solution, and through Faith, prayer and a study of God's message, Christians are left with powerfully resonant tools against temptation and continuing abuse. With the love of Jesus Christ and with the fellowship of other Christians, working the Christian 12 steps to recovery offers the Faithful far more than any conventional and secular rehab ever could.

The days of our lives are structured around cycles of work, eating, family and recreation times. Any of these activities can become boring if we don't strive to find something interesting or enjoyable about them. The objective in going to church is to seek to build our relationship with God and others. I believe that if my church community takes steps forward in these resolutions it can bring a positive upraise in the attendance at CMC. Although I may not know some of the members that consist of this church, but I can also say that each and every member is apart of my family.
