Stop dating the church! : Fall in love with the family of God
Harris, Joshua,
Stop dating the church! : Fall in love with the family of God [print] Joshua Harris. - Sisters, Oregon : Multnomah Publishers, (c)2004. - 140 pages ; 19 cm
Can this relationship be saved? : what we miss when we date the church -- He still calls her his bride : seeing the church from heaven's perspective -- Why we really need the local church : thinking globally, loving locally -- Join the club : what passion in action looks like -- Choosing your church : the ten things that matter most -- Rescuing Sunday : how to get more from the best day of the week -- The dearest place on earth : it's time to say yes.
Putting in their hour or two on the weekend, many Christians take the rest of the week off, neglecting the church and her needs. It's not a serious relationship. Some shop around, looking for a church that suits their lifestyle. It's dating, with no assurances, no obligations. Bestselling author Joshua Harris calls Christians to stop playing the field and commit, just as Christ is committed to us, His bride. In his new book, Harris explores the ramifications of Ephesians 5:25-32, which proclaims the intensity and the breadth of Jesus Christ's love for His church. God has designed us to build our lives around a local church; we cannot be indifferent or uninvolved. Rather, we must be in love with and committed to God's plan and purpose through the church. Are you dating the church, or are you committed? https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Dating-Church-Family-LifeChange/dp/1590523652/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9781590523650&qid=1597064414&s=books&sr=1-1
