This blog’s purpose: to discuss what it means actually to Be The Body of Christ 24-7.

This blog’s hope: to help Christians discover, via open conversation, what it means to live as the Corpus Christi (the Body of Christ) & how to live this out in a way that transforms lives (ours & others) with the genuine love of Jesus.

This blog’s prayer: for those who claim the name of Christ Jesus to be recognized by Christians and non-Christians alike!

"Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers." -- Galatians 6.10

Please feel free to share your thoughts, insights, failings, ideas, & suggestions on how we can truly live, love, & learn from each other so we may sincerely Be The Body of Christ Jesus 24-7!

"15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." -- Colossians 3.15-17

The Importance of Praise

We place a high priority on worship, for we know that the Bible instructs us to praise God and often! In fact the New International Version of the English Bible uses the term "praise", or a variation of it, 420 times in 361 verses. For comparison "worry" is mentioned 13 times in 12 verses, "complain" and its variations are only mentioned 19 times in 19 verses, and "sadness" is only mentioned once. So let's take our cue from God's Holy Word and praise the Lord! Won't you join us and allow God, through the rich experience of praise, to minister to you by changing your life and enabling you to encourage and care for each other as all of us put our faith into action.

The Best Times Of The Day To Praise Are:

In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. ~ Psalm 5.3

Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice. ~ Psalm 55.17

16 Be joyful always; 17 pray continually; 18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5.16-18

On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. ~ Psalm 63.6
