Community Pastor Aaron Long writes about the need for small churches. They’ve long been the backbone of real community—places where folks aren’t just faces in a crowd, where pastors know your story, and where people actually show up for each other.
Pastor Aaron writes: Christianity isn’t complicated, people make it so, but it isn’t. There are just two simple rules and if you get them right you got the rest of this. Jesus says everything comes down to loving the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your strength and to love your neighbor as yourself.
Rev Long writes: Christianity isn’t a political party; it is an all-consuming belief that should change the believer from the inside out.
What today’s Christians sometimes forget is that Scripture doesn’t allow us to treat church as a club. Biblical Christianity isn’t “have it your way.”
