THIS WEBSITE offers suggestions for new friendships
and, for those still interested in the Christian way of life, numerous Christian options including our online fellowship which
offers joy (Ga 5:22) regardless of different beliefs and where unity is by love. (Ro 14:1-5; Co 3:14)
Our only name is Christians, our fellowship's name being Christian Witnesses. We believe God resurrects
people to heaven or earth; it is good to be inviting friendly people to Bible readings in homes or elsewhere(Mt 28:19, Ro
16:1), praying, sharing meals, helping the needy. (Ga 2:10)
Lord is a respectful title, God's name
is sometimes given as Jehovah or Yahweh, (Ps 83:18, KJ) although Paul says to call God "Abba" which
is Dad in Aramaic; and significantly Christ in the Lord's Prayer says pray to "Our Father in heaven." (Mt
6:9) Groups of two or more Christians can recognize and appoint to services any to all willing, reputable
older ones, that is elders. (1Tim 3; Ac 6:5)
Even before any human appointment such ones already
led by God's Holy Spirit to serve and minister can rightly be called servants or ministers, the older ones
of those being elders, again, a description not a title or position for lording it over others
with potential unChristian abuses of power.
Christ is our only top, overall Leader,
the MOST Faithful and Discreet Slave, loving, loyal and faithful. (Mt 23:10; 24:45) God's
kingdom (Mt 6:9) is safe in heaven though in hearts and minds amidst Christians upon earth. Here the
arrangement is the Way of Christ, an actively loving Christian way of life, not a mock imitation of the kingdom
organization that's in heaven; no rigid, harsh corporate style hierarchy of officials.
As when
Paul said it, the one faith is Christianity in the general sense (Eph 4:5), not a little branch or sect of a religious
organization within Christianity or outside of it. The fellowshipping arrangement is effective just
as it has been for centuries for many other branches of the large tree of Christianity.
Jesus
Christ and the apostles literally fed, healed and otherwise did many deeds of kindness. To declare yourself
one in agreement with us is to be one with us at once, your fellow caring brothers and sisters in Christ. Salvation
is from grace not works but works of kindness are natural for he witnessed not by words alone.
You are encouraged to use your new freedom in Christ to also help others. (Jn 8:32, Ga 2:10) Please return to this
website to learn more. Again, regardless of how you may feel and believe for now, the door is always
open for you.
