I believe that our role as a church in today’s world in simply one thing, Worship. Not soul-winning, not evangelism, not discipleship, not outreach. This is not to downplay the importance of these things but to set priorities. When the Church’s only purpose is to worship Jesus Christ the other things will fall in line. This is the New Testament example. All of our ministry, discipleship and evangelism is null an void if the soul purpose is not worship alone. This living, breathing organism, The Bride of Christ is called first to worship the Groom.

Here s a post i had to do for my philosophy class. We must not abandon a philosophical mindset, but season ourselves in the word of God--john
Developing a philosophical mindset will help the believer to have a ready defense against ones who brings challenges. 1st Peter 3:15 states, “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect”. Having a philosophical mindset is not only Biblical; it is also beneficial to the believer. Believers are constantly faced with challenges from many who are trying to find weak points of Christianity and without a philosophical mindset the believer cannot effectively argue and prove truth. In developing a philosophical mindset the laws of logic will come into practice. No defense can truly be upheld with out first being examined with logic. The law of non-contradiction, the law of sufficient ground and the law of the excluded middle are wonderful tools that can become apart of ones mindset in preparing a defense of a held belief. God expects us to be studied and seasoned it our belief and also opposing views. It is apart of being a worthy steward. A very important aspect of defending ones views is understanding the opposing view. When this mindset is adapted one can challenge their own view with the knowledge they have gleaned: finding weak points and slippery ground. This creates a sense of “open mindness” that believers are accused of not having. Everyone is dogmatic and bias towards their own views, but opening up to other views will substantiate the one that is held, or possibly weaken it. This philosophical mindset is essential in defending the Bible they way God would have believers to. The old “because the Bible said so” will no longer cut it. There is more to Christianity than blind faith. It is a faith based on fact.
