Steps
Seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness involves Steps you must take for yourself. Those steps are a part of the striving Jesus commands his disciples to do.
We are contacted by phone and email every week to answer what are often basic questions about the nature of the Church and what we call the living network. There are those who think there is nothing in the Bible about a network but Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and the early Church all promoted the people gathering in a network for the purpose of love and charity. Christ commanded his disciples to make the people sit down in small companies united in ranks of hundreds and in fifties.
We offer a few simple steps to make you search for the kingdom more effective.
Step 1: Join the Local Email Group
Joining an email group based on location is not essential but it is the beginning and can make it easier to find others of like mind or facilitate the of seeking that kingdom of God and His righteousness.
These network groups are local, private and moderated electronic group for the purpose of:
- Bringing people together in a living network.
- Creating the perfect bonds of liberty necessary to maintain a living network of love.
- Forming The Congregation of a peculiar people like the early Church.
Step 2: Subscribe to The Kingdom Newsletter
The Kingdom Newsletter which was our original newsletter. Joining the living network can get messages to you much faster and with a more personal touch and in a greater depth.
Step 3: Ask for help
A minister or volunteer Personal Contact Minister (PCM) on each group should be there to help you find and gather with a Congregation of Record. Everyone on the network should be there to help everyone else come together like Christ commanded.
A contact point is essential in the development of any successful Fractal Network. Abraham, Moses and Jesus all appointed men to help form social networks for the purpose of providing a daily ministration through a communion of charity.
Anyone in a congregation can offer to be an official Personal Contact Minister (PCM) in your area. They can offer a fuller more responsive access to the benefits and information on the Network.
The real goal is to freely assemble so you can do what Christ told us to do which is love one another.
Step 4: Gather in faith
Contact the closest free assembly for the purpose of serving others, not to be served. Gather with them in the character of Christ serving all other congregations in a fellowship of faith.
You cannot effectively love your neighbor as yourself is you will not gather with them. If you are willing to gather then you must do it in the name of Jesus the Christ. To come in his name is to come together to serve others and not be served.
You should not seek to "belong" to a congregation or denomination and your loyalty should be to Christ alone. You connect to a nearby free assembly and its minister because in that gathering you may be of service to others who are seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. You should not be looking for a Church that makes you feel good nor a congregation of people that allows you to feel comfortable. You should gather to do good and to comfort others in righteousness.
- "Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." 2 Corinthians 1:4
Declare your intentions as a Congregation of Record (CORE). Gathering in spirit and in truth according to The Way of Christ in companies of Tens as Jesus commanded His disciples and the early Church faithfully did.
