200 th posting on the Ecclesia website

Today the 200th posting was placed on the Christadelphian Ecclesia WordPress website.Wenceslas Hollar - Abraham's dream (State 2)
It is one of the articles on the Name of God and on how we should dare to use that name.
On the old religious print from the Old Testament llustration to Genesis we notice the paleo Hebrew Name of God written in the sun.

The website had at the moment only 1,725 views but we do hope we shall be able to find people who would not mind to let this site be better known.
The new Dutch Brethren in Christ site on WordPress: "Broeders in Christus" started in August 2011 (from the succelsfull transfer from the Flemish Broeders in Christus Google Site) receive now 216 visitors for 45 postings (Much more than we got on the Flemish Google site in an equivalent time) with
  • 37 views on our busiest day, September 9, 2011 for the Christadelphians in the Dutch language (Flemish site)
Compared to my worldly site: Marcus's Space I received 1,825 visitors over there since its start on December 2010 with
I do agree worldly subjects get more interest than spiritual subjects, therefore I do hope to get people from the worldly site into the spiritual blogs, which come slowly from the ground.

If you have a blog or publish some articles or magazines please do help to spread the Good News and share links to the Christadelphian Ecclesia and to the Broeders in Christus of Flemish Christadelphians.

Since we transferred our focus on the WordPress files instead of the Multiply pages our views on the Belgian Christadelphian Mainwebsite Googles Pages have gone up nicely, by people linking to it in the articles.

Also You can help to make it better known, by linking to it and by taking it in your 'I like it' on your social networks, or by clicking on the site on 'I like it' or giving it stars.

Become a co-worker of spreading the Good News.

Quit griping about your church


"Quit griping about your church;
if it was perfect, you couldn't belong …"
- Unknown

The modern church rejects the outcasts of society
where as these very outcasts were the very ones who were drawn to Jesus.
- Philip Yancey

"For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;
but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away."
1 Corinthians 13:9-10

"God let it grow. It is not for those who plant and watered it, but only God who gives the increase. The planter and the one watering are working for the same end and or on an equal footing, each will receive pay for their own work and effort. They will have their separate rewards in the measure of their work. For we are God's co-workers, you are God's field or cultivated farm, God's building.
According to the grace given me by God, I have, as a wise master builder, laid the foundation on which another builds. But let everyone watch as or consider how he builds on that foundation. Because no one can lay a foundation other than what already is laid, namely Yeshua, Jesus Christ, the Messiah. "
1 Corinthians 3:6-11

“Join him, the Living Stone
rejected by men but chosen and precious in the sight of God. "
1 Peter 2:4

Help me, Lord, to remember that religion is not to be confined to the church...
nor exercised only in prayer and meditation,
but that every where I am in Thy Presence.
- Susanna Wesley

Companionship

In the Christadelphian Waymark of December 2008 you can find an article on Companionship.

some quotes:

We all need companionship. One of the curses particularly of western society is loneliness. ...

Loneliness can lead to feeling isolated, lead to depression and even lead to suicide. Some people are able to establish new friendships, but for others forming friendships is more difficult. For most people finding close friends that they can trust and confide in, is not easy.
Brethren and sisters in Christ are no different, often family can be far away and we all need companionship. But for us knowledge of the gospel message of hope, brings, or should bring, a totally different perspective. You see no matter what our circumstances, we are never alone!

...
loneliness will not assail us to the point of despair.
...
Our primary relationship is with God, He is our Father and if we live according to the light of His word, then we have fellowship with Him. Fellowship with others who share the same precious faith comes as a product of fellowship with God.
... it is not good for one to seek isolation from those who share the same precious faith. But there are many who live in isolation through circumstance beyond their control, or who go into isolation because circumstances dictate that they must. Those in that position need the support and encouragement of all the other members of the body.
But if we do live alone then we still have that sure knowledge that God is ever mindful of His children. We can all read books about the Truth, read magazines, read exhortations, listen to tapes and in many do things that help to make us feel part of the one body. A husband and wife can support each other, but if companionship of other brethren and sisters is present, then this is a great blessing from God.

If we do have the companionship of brethren and sisters, let us then be grateful for it and make the most of our time with each other. Let the focus be upon building each other up and encouraging each other while we can. Let us never take this benefit for granted or neglect meeting together. Let us be givers and not takers, workers and not hinderers, supporters not complainers. Let us be grateful to God for companionship, yet content if need be to be dwell alone. Though we truly are never alone, for He is always with us.
