]]> Comment on If I attend church in Berea why should I become a member? by Are You A Toxic Church Member? | Grace Community Church http://gccmadison.org/2012/if-i-attend-church-in-berea-why-should-i-become-a-member/#comment-623 Are You A Toxic Church Member? | Grace Community Church Wed, 21 Mar 2012 13:29:46 +0000 http://gccmadison.org/?p=1479#comment-623 [...] Commitment to the church is one thing in our Christian culture which seems to be utterly deficient. We live in a day in which church seems secondary. I do not mean this for the unbeliever but for those who profess to be in Christ and profess to be Christians. The Church is something many tack on and will give time to if something else such as homework or family matters will not get in the way.

]]> Comment on Two reasons not to choose a church in Berea Ky by Victoria http://gccmadison.org/2012/two-reasons-not-to-choose-a-church-in-berea-ky/#comment-596 Victoria Mon, 12 Mar 2012 00:54:12 +0000 http://gccmadison.org/?p=1391#comment-596 Great article! It is quite a tragedy when people's first response about their church is "We have great music." or "There's an awesome coffee bar." Those things may be well and good, but they're not the core of church. The first things I mention when I'm telling someone about GCC is our Jesus-loving members and Gospel-preaching services. Really blessed to be a member here! Great article!

]]> Comment on Spiritual Warfare – Are You Prepared? by Victoria http://gccmadison.org/2012/spiritual-warfare-are-you-prepared/#comment-387 Victoria Wed, 11 Jan 2012 22:26:31 +0000 http://gccmadison.org/?p=1058#comment-387 Love the header for this post! And love the new logo you threw on the site. Very trendy! This sermon was incredibly thought-provoking and convicting. I thought it tied in well with our chapter in Discipline of Grace about "Watching" for sin and temptation in our lives. It has reminded me to pray diligently to be prepared for and protected from spiritual attacks. Love the header for this post! And love the new logo you threw on the site. Very trendy!

I've been reading through these first few chapters of Luke during my devotional time. I've really been thinking about how all of life, as modeled by Mary, really hinges on our attitudes towards Christ. Mary openly received her Lord, and we should do the same.

I am guilty of often thinking about Mary's role here, but Joseph's is as equally important and trusting of God. Good reminder that God's laws and standards are higher than societal expectations. If we are fully resting, trusting, loving, and serving Him - we can't go wrong. Great thoughts Pastor Craig!

Giving a lot of thought to your observations about the Advent. When the kids were little and we were at FBC, the four Sundays leading to Christmas, we would gather around the living room, light our Advent candel, sing songs and read the Scripture that was appropriate for that Sunday. The book was authored by Dr. Dobson. I remember telling others what we were doing and the most common response was " isn't that some Catholic thing". To this day the kids still talk about it and I believe Jennifer has the book now and they do it with their children. Love the Christmas Season. Craig, enjoyed reading your comments.

When we get the Gospel wrong, so much confusion ensues! I pray that people in our town, especially the college, will use this as a way to springboard discussion and that Bible-believing Christians will follow 1 Peter 3:15 and be ready to give an answer. So grateful for a fellowship like GCC that teaches us sound doctrine and how to apply the Scriptures. I agree with Thomas, great thoughts Ben!
