The Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to encourage the family of Four Mile Church to eat God's word on a more regular basis; to be nourished and fortified. Mile markers help you to know how far you have come and how much further you have to go. God's word is like a mile marker. My prayer is that this simple blogg helps you to partake in God's word and prayer on a more regular basis.



Please share your insights and revelations if you think they may encourage another brother or sister in Christ.

Reading and Praying

Read these prayers for the universal and specific churches. Do you pray for the church? Why not? Why wouldn't you be praying for the body faith that is supporting and building you up in the faith. It needs prayer also. The church is more than a spiritual vending machine that provides different services based upon your needs. The church is people. It is your eternal family. Take time to pray through each of these passages for church because when you do, you are praying not only for others, but for yourself.

Challenge
Memorize one of the verses above. I'm going to memorize the Colossians passage. Ask me Sunday how it went.
