All well-intentioned people have the same objective: to build a good world that will sustain and support a thriving humanity. This shared goal gives Christians a great way to build bridges into all other communities, which can lead to greater understanding. In today’s polarized society, we must make the most of this opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are church boards so susceptible to problems? If we can understand the unique challenges inherent in church boards, we should be able to address the problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find it annoying when someone says, “I’m sorry if I offended anyone.” That\u2019s no apology! They\u2019re only sorry that someone took offense! In other words, the person who took offense has the problem, not the one who caused the offense. If no one was offended, the offender wouldn’t feel the need to apologize at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#7 Church Donations: Quick & Easy Offering Plate Alternatives<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jesus\u2019 birth meant nothing to society at the time because they didn\u2019t know about it. But God had already set in motion a plan that would change everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In theory, pluralism offers peace and opportunity for all, while in the contemporary Canadian experience it also offers conflict and challenge to religious people. Christians need to respond to both the challenge and the opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
