Whenever a child is born,

he or she automatically becomes a part of the universal family

of human beings.

But that child also needs to become a member of a specific

family to receive nurture and care and grow up healthy

and strong.

The same is true spiritually.

When you were born agan,

you automatically became a part of God's universal family,

but you also need to become a member of a local expression

of God's family.

He created the church to meet your five deepest needs...

A purpose to live for...

People to live with...

Principles to live by...

A profession to live out...

Power to live on...

There is no other place on earth where you can find all five

of these benefits in one place.

" Christ loved the church and gave his life for it " 

                                    Ephesians5;25
