The Letters of Paul

Paul's letters are extremely valuable to Christians. The letters are the oldest document we have. 

Romans: the book full of the power and grace of God. The book is also full of a source of inspiration and renewal in the church from earliest times to the present.

First Corinthians: the book have great sections on love in the church and the Resurrection.

2 Corinthians: the book is a combination of harsh differences and rejoicing over reconciliation.

Galatians: the book contains important information about Paul's own life and about the beginnings of the church.

Ephesians: the book is a meditation on the purpose of reconciling in all things in Christ.

Philippians: the book is a personal thankful for gift from the church and encouraging the church to be faithful.

Colossians: the book was a guidance for the true spiritual life.

First Thessalonians/2 Thessalonians: the books taught Christians how to live and to await the Lord's return with constant diligence.

First Timothy/2 Timothy/Titus: The books are a guidance for the young pastors who are trying to lead the church.

Philemon: the book is a personal plea for Philemon to forgive the runaway slave Onesimus and receive him back as a brother in Christ.

Hunt for a Church

I want have a church where I can meet other people who share same my love for Jesus. I joined the Latter-Day Saints Church for couple years and I volunteered left it. I sometimes regrets it. But, I do have wonderful experiences with LDS church. I now realized that I need to find another church to build new community and supportive system for me in my hometown. I feel weird about it because when I accept Jesus in my heart, I didn't have a church for couple years. (I don't recommend it!) Anyway, I decided to research on churches in my hometown and I keep on groaning as I visited to many churches. It is hard for me to not judge on churches because I was hard-wired by LDS church's structure. I finally clear my mind and start to thinking about what Jesus did in his time. Jesus was one who build a church and teach his disciples to spread out his church style idea (fellowship) to people with his love messages on good news (gospels). Why do I have to be tense and snob about churches? Jesus want all of us to be fellowship with other people to discuss about the good news. I just need to find right atmosphere with people's open hearts then that where I should belong to.
