BE A 5 
CHRISTIAN
A great church is made up of strong Christians and strong Christian families
- READ GOD'S WORD
In Romans 10:17, the Bible says, "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the
Word of God." Reading the Bible is vital to the Christian
life. As we read the Bible, we should search the Scriptures, comparing
Scripture with Scripture. Set a goal to memorize Scripture and meditate
on the Word of God. In our personal lives and with our families, we need
to be reading the Word of God each and every day.
- PRAY
We believe that God hears and answers prayer. There is no doubt about it,
the greatest untapped resource in the Christian life is the matter of
prayer. Pray each day. Pray for loved ones. Pray for church
leaders and their families. Pray for your church. Pray for our
nation. Pray for the lost. Establish a prayer list and PRAY.
- ATTEND CHURCH FAITHFULLY
The Lord Jesus Christ deserves your faithfulness. Attend every service of
the church. A great deal of the strength of the church is based on the
faithfulness of the people. Support special meetings at the church with
your faithful attendance.
- WITNESS TO THE LOST
Our Lord Jesus Christ came to seek and to save that which was lost. He
left us on earth to tell others about Him. Determine to bring others to
the Saviour. Work to bring other families to Christ and to the
church. Set a time to go. Make a list of names and addresses of
people you want to reach for Christ.
- GIVE
God's work is to be supported God's way. The Bible teaches that we should
pay the tithe and give our offerings, so practice tithing as a
conviction. Bring the Lord's tithe with you to church each Sunday,
support the ministries of the church with offerings, and by faith, give to
worldwide missions. Support the Christian education endeavors of the
church. We cannot outgive God!
Determine to be a Five-Star Christian. This is a time when you can be a
real help and encouragement to your pastor and church. May God help you to
work together to see something beyond the ordinary accomplished for Christ
through your church.
