Essential churches close the back door because they are not complex, shallow, have low expectation, and are not inward focus. Chapters seven through ten is the core of an essential church. The key is to simplify, deepen, expectation, and multiply: Simplify is getting the structure right through clarity - is when the process of making disciples is simple. For instance, our process at Progressive Baptist Church is connected to God, connected to others, and connected to serving this present age. It is so simple that our youth understand it and participate in serving this present age.
Instead, I focus on how I can make the world a little better now. I don’t regret my time in the Catholic church, but I’m glad I’ve found a way of life that feels right for my own beliefs; beliefs I live to their fullest potential every
I have never not been Catholic. Even though my parents are both Catholic and wanted to raise us to be Catholic, my sisters and I attended a lutheran preschool and we attended a methodist summer camp. My parents made sure to expose me to different religions while still practicing Catholicism. My faith is very important and personal to me. It’s something I can lean on during both good and bad times.
During those times the church was an active educational program on Christ Jesus and the law. People were neither force nor manipulated into attending the church, all the members were devoted to the instructions and teachings of the apostles. Everyone there enjoyed the fellowship so much that they did not want to limit their gatherings to a specific day, i.e. Sunday, instead they continued to be together day by day and shared all that was going on in their lives. Due to the companionship and their pure hearts the spirit of the Lord was able to move freely and as result many wonders and miraculous signs were happening through the apostles.
: Person-Centred Care aims to ensure that the older adult is an equal partner in their health care. Key components that ensure PCC is provided are the following: respect and holism power and empowerment choice and autonomy empathy and compassion. (Rcn.org.uk, 2015) A person-centred approach to nursing focuses on the individuals needs, wants, goals and desires so that they become central to the care and nursing process (OpenLearn, 2015). According to The Department of Health (State of Victoria, Australia), person-centred care is a philosophical approach to care, ensuring that service systems are developed in partnership with older people and/or their carers (Health.vic.gov.au, 2015). PCC is treating patients as they want to be treated and about working together with older adults on things they enjoy doing and things that are important to them without restraint of routines (Kearns, 2013).

When all these people feel the the same connection and sense of belonging to this church they gain direction, in relevance to not only their own lives, but direction towards God and how to live as God wants them to. By gaining this direction and purpose, the scriptures, prayers and songs which are heard during the mass are made clearer and more relevant, meaning they are easier to understand, easier to think about and easier to live
I can not bring myself to smile. What is wrong with me? What am I lacking that makes people happy? Diotima:
Christians meeting together constitute a church. I am not condoning error but if you have an opportunity to take the word via preaching, a Bible study, leading young people’s meetings, then GO, even if the Christians are in error. Make sure your theological muscles are strong. A great mission field is the modern day evangelical church. I know people who know they are being dished up a very superficial meal yet they cannot quite put their finger on the problem.
Children’s voices have an important role to play in informing policies and programmes intended to prevent violence and mitigate its consequences. In view of the findings there is a great need for various stakeholders to urgently intervene and avert the effects of pastoralist conflicts on the social well-being of children and avert factors promoting hostile intercommunal interactions among pastoralists. • First as immediate caregivers of children, parents should provide basic needs, love and show affection and support their children’s education always, listen to children, and serve as role models to their children. • Secondly, the local administration and community council of elders should through advocacy and campaigns educate the people on
