			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been said that once a person becomes a Christian, within two years they no longr have any non-Christian friends.  In some cases it is necessary disconnect from from people that do not build you up and in fact, tear you and down or hinder your growth as a Christ-Follower.  However, we are not able to influence others if we disconnect from those people that need to know Christ.  Is it possible that we forget how &#8220;lost&#8221; people are and how desperate the heart is to receive The Unconditional Love of Jesus?  </p>
<p>I was listening to the radio recently and someone mentioned something about a famine in your soul.  <em>What a powerful picture of those who do not know Christ.</em> Soul Famine is a perfect picture of someone who has yet to surrender to His Love and Purpose for their life.  Will you offer Bread this week to feed the souls of those famished for what they may not even know?  Here&#8217;s an idea that I have used for about 15 years.  When you eat out, and they waiter or waitress brings your food, tell them you are going to thanks God for your food and would like to add a request they may have.  I have had some powerful opportunities result from this simple offer.  I&#8217;d love to her yours ideas as well and how my idea works for you.  For Him, Robert</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you&#8221; (Lev 26:8).</p>
<p>The Church of Jesus Christ is called to impact the world. The biblical definition &#8220;church&#8221; is not an institution or building, but rather it is made up of individuals. Jesus said &#8220;wherever two or more meet together, I am in the midst of them.&#8221; The biblical word translated as &#8220;church&#8221; is ekklesia which is the original Greek meaning &#8220;the people of God.&#8221;<br />
The New Testament used this word in two different ways. Sometimes it refers to people of God gathered together in congregations. That is our traditional idea of the local church. But other times it means believers in general, wherever they might find themselves.</p>
<p>God calls the Church to be transformers of society through their collective influence. Jesus prayed that His Church would be unified in order for the world to respond to Him. &#8220;May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me&#8221; (John 17:23). The enemy of the Church is secularism, a religion that says there is no God. When local congregations fail to come together as a collective voice and operate instead as individual silos in their community society is given over to the evils created as a result of an unbelieving society. Conversely, when the Body of Christ &#8211; the Church puts its collective resources together to solve societal issues, our enemies; crime, poverty, sexual perversion, etc. will fall by the sword of a unified Church.</p>
<p>God is birthing city coalitions of His Church among congregations in the city in order to fulfill John 17:23. Are you willing to be a catalyst in your community to see His Church take back your city?</p>
