Bring the Church experience into your neighborhood

9 12 2006

I have created a site called SimpleChurch.tv which highlights effective ways you can use to bring the Church experience into the neighborhood, along with the tools to make it happen.

We are not selling anything. It’s all free of charge for any one who is serious about facilitating spiritual transformation where they live.  Jump in if you want to be part. You won’t be disappointed. The feedback so far has been enthusiastically positive.

Have fun with it and be patient.





How do I meet my Neighbors?

11 04 2006

Let’s keep it simple. Here is an interview of what one person did.

Here are a few more idea’s.

1. Go for a walk in your neighborhood. Say hi to people. Become familiar with the people around you.

2. Use what you have – A touch, a smile, a listening ear, food, your TV. Everyone has one of these items.

3. Keep an “open chair” at the kitchen table and invite family, friends, neighbors, churched or the unchurched to join you for a meal.

How Do I Start ?

5 03 2006

Here’s what you need to start to begin facilitating transformation in your neighborhood

 

  • See the need where you live. We have allowed ourselves to become more active outside our neighborhood than in them.
  • Accept full responsibility for the spiritual and physical well being of yourself and your neighborhood.
  • Be inspired or desperate enough to create habits of action. Good intentions pave the way to inaction. It allows us to feel good for doing little or nothing at all. Its path leads to ruin.
  • Open your door and step out. Most evenings we close our doors to the same people we say we care about.
  • Open your door and let people in.
  • Listen much, act much, talk little.
  • Connect the “Church” in your neighborhood. Look for other Christians, connect with them, love them and work together. Raise Jesus above the walls.
  • Seek to love your neighbor. We have mistaken good intentions for actions. Show them Jesus. It will allow us to live the life we were meant to live on an everyday basis.

Love God and love your neighbor. Its that simple
