What is the FAMILY LIFE CENTER?
The FAMILY LIFE CENTER
is a BIBLE STUDY CENTER.
A venue where God can draw men to Christ.
A new evangelistic approach in introducing
and sharing God's Word through Biblical counseling using
God's powerful Word to comfort and encourage those whom
God is drawing near Him and ultimately leading to Bible
studies, teaching the Apostolic pattern revealed by our
Lord Jesus Christ that they may believe, repent, confess
and be baptized into Christ and receive the Holy Spirit
to dwell in their hearts, knowing that the Holy Spirit is
our great comforter, teacher and counselor in this perverse
generation.
This will also serve as an edifying arm
of the EDUCATION, EDIFICATION and GUIDANCE & COUNSELLING
MINISTRY of Midtown COC to her members providing
easy access to ministers or trained counselors.
Why the name FAMILY
LIFE CENTER?
Sadly, in this modern world, the word
"BIBLE" had been smeared by many false
prophets, lawless in Christ's covenant and deceiving men
as warned by our Lord Jesus (Matt. 24:11-13) causing seekers
to shy away from a mere introduction or invitation for Bible
study.
The word "BIBLE" now
seems to lessen the picturesque view or outer attraction
of the cover of God's Word limiting or even hindering what
lies within each page.
Thus a new approach must be formulated.
A new Biblical title to attract men's
inner craving for fellowship.
A word that tingles men's spiritual senses.
A comforting word that eases the mind
of men in this fast tract generation.
A word that correlates to most men's troubles
in these modern times
Thus, the name "FAMILY LIFE"…
for everyone belongs to a family, everyone in one way or
the other came from a family and everyone longs for a family…
and no one is more qualified and tasked by Christ to gather
the lost sheep here in this world no other than God's flock…
God's family.
THE
FAMILY LIFE CENTER WORKING GROUP
The FLC
working group functions as a WORKING BODY,
composed of voluntary christians dedicated to please our
Father by serving in the FLC.
They are to commit their gifts, talents,
time, training, expertise, skills and capabilities for the
Lord's work at the FLC.
Christ is the head of the ministry and
all glory goes to God.
The FLC working group
shall meet on a regular basis presided by a chairman of
the day to put in order the discussion.
The FLC working group is to discuss,
plan and put into action ideas, strategies and works focused
on the primary mission of evangelism and church planting,
reaching out to seekers and leading them to the Lord's Church.
And a secondary mission of edification, guidance & counselling,
equipping, training of the saints through Bible courses
or doctrinal-curriculum teachings, fellowships and devotionals.
The
IDENTITY of the FAMILY LIFE CENTER
The FLC is a ministry
of the Midtown church of Christ, where members of the working
committee shall come from the Midtown COC. The ministry
shall work as an evangelistic arm of the Midtown COC in
the city, an evangelistic strategy for seekers to easily
find God. We shall act as the SEED TROWERS or PLANTERS
and WATERERS, knowing that the real power is in
the SEED… the Word of God, for only God
can make the plant grow. |
