I looked that up about the Church of England and found this about it on MSN: "The Church of England is increasingly dropping the word “church” in favour of “relevant and modern-sounding” descriptions such as “community”, a new study suggests." I don't know the people involved in making this decision or why they are really doing it, so can't comment on that. What I can say is that it's kind of ironic. I say that only because as Christians we are called to community. We are to "love one another" and we can't do that if we don't know one another.  If you look up the word "one another" in the New Testament, you'll find that it's listed a whole bunch of times and it describes what a Christian looks like. Obviously, it's always in connection with how we relate to the others in our "church" or our "community" or "group" or whatever you want to call it. For most it's their local church that they go to, and often includes other people they've connected with as well. For me it includes my church, and all of you guys, and all those from our old board that I was close to. (many of whom are already with the Lord.) The reason I find it ironic is because my pastor is always talking about living in community with other Christians. That's how you stay accountable and how you show your love and help one another, etc.
Look at what the word "church" means:
The English word church is related to the Scottish word kirk and the German designation kirche, and all of these terms are derived from the Greek word kuriakon, the neuter adjective of kurios (“Lord”), meaning “belonging to the Lord.” The English word church also translates the Greek word ekklesia, which is derived from ek, meaning “out of,” and kaleo, which means “to call,” hence, the church is “a called out group". The word ekklesia, however, does not indicate the nature of the called out group; it can be used in a technical sense of the New Testament church, or it can be used in a nontechnical sense of any kind of group. For example, in Acts 7:38 it refers to the congregation of the people of Israel as the ekklesia (it is translated “congregation”). In Acts 19:32 it refers to the mob at Ephesus that was angry at Paul (here it is translated “assembly”). Most often, however, the word is used in a technical sense to designate the New Testament church, a group of called-out believers in Jesus Christ. The Moody handbook of theology I was going to show you what Strongs Lexicon says, but it says the same thing. However, if you want me to post it I will.

"The Democratic Party opened
its 2024 national convention in Chicago's United Center on Monday,
adopting its platform, setting its agenda,
and hearing the first day of speeches from Hillary Clinton,
abortion activists,
and President Joe Biden.
The first day of the DNC featured
a prayer..... without Christ,
politicians citing Bible verses
moments after
promoting abortion-on-demand,
and insisting
pro-life
protections
violate "basic decency."
"Planned Parenthood Great Rivers in St. Louis announced
it would offer free abortions and vasectomies
in a mobile truck not far from the Democratic National Convention.
A local hot dog shop, The Wieners Circle,
posted on the social media platform X
that it would give anyone who had
a vasectomy or abortion
a coupon for a free hotdog".

Cindy I know of a pastor that has built a place for community to live in the CO mountains, men only yeah people are thinking about that and led by the Lord. Pastor says double check the heart recognition is the beginning of change, people's identity has been taken and people still look for what man has set up, it is like they don't know any other way and even some christians are doing the same thing. We are in the last days written about in different places in the Bible about 1948 the Jews returning to Israel.
Have a blessed day today in the Lord.

They have been forced to gather on a small private lot

Pro-Palestinian protesters

Bad news for pro-Hamas antisemites:
According to the Bible,
the nation of Israel
isn’t going to disappear anytime soon.
In the 31st chapter of the book of Jeremiah,
the prophet quotes the words of God
to him that
as long as the sun, moon, and stars exist,
Israel will remain a nation before God.
Biblically, only when God creates a new heaven and a new earth
will there be no more sun, moon, or stars.
When will that happen?
After the seven years of tribulation,
which will be followed by a thousand-year millennial kingdom
of the Messiah here on earth,
centered in Jerusalem."
~~~~~~~~~
Hezbollah just fired a heavy barrage
into the Katzrin area
and other areas in the north of the country.
The fire services report
2 direct hits in Katzrin.
Apparently some are trapped.

Hezbollah launched about 50 launches
into the Golan Heights in response to
IDF attacks deep in Lebanon -
falls were detected in Katzrin,
a man of about 30 was moderately injured

Shut Out In Chi-Town:
Jewish Groups Blocked From Marching During The DNC
(as thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters
march through the streets.)
The reason is that Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson
has refused to grant their request for a permit.
While pro-Palestinian protesters
have been given an array of accommodations by the city
(and received a shoutout from President Joe Biden in his convention address),
the Jewish protesters are only able to gather
due to the donation of a private lot
by an owner for their use.

A report from a Syrian source:
President Assad who came to Russia for a state visit
stayed in Russia and did not return...
he is there with his family members.
What do the Russians know?
Is there a fear for the life of the Syrian president?
Did the fear of a regional war in which Syria
would be involved make him stay?

Being on vacation is giving me some time to reflect

Reflecting is often accompanied with tears -
some of joy and some of sadness.
Sadness for the tough and bloody road my nation is on.
Joy for the promise that we will survive by the grace of God.
Psalm 124 ministers to me a lot.
I don’t care if America, Europe, Great Britain,
or the UN is on our side.
I care about God being on our side!
Psalm 124
A Song of Ascents of David.
“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,”
Let Israel now say—
“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
When men rose up against us,
Then they would have swallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us;
Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
The stream would have gone over our soul;
Then the swollen waters
Would have gone over our soul.”
Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers;
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name of the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

If you look up the word "one another" in the New Testament, you'll find that it's listed a whole bunch of times and it describes what a Christian looks like. Obviously, it's always in connection with how we relate to the others in our "church" or our "community" or "group" or whatever you want to call it. For most it's their local church that they go to, and often includes other people they've connected with as well. For me it includes my church, and all of you guys, and all those from our old board that I was close to. (many of whom are already with the Lord.) The reason I find it ironic is because my pastor is always talking about living in community with other Christians. That's how you stay accountable and how you show your love and help one another, etc.
!!
