Every human being has deep within himself or herself a burning desire to achieve one's ultimate end, or purpose, or goal. The Christian's end is to become more and more like Christ. Heaven will be the crowning glory of this God-caused achievement.
On earth, however, we need to know where and how our provisional "ends" occur. These happen every Sunday, (every Lord's Day), in the church's Sabbath worship of the Holy and Triune God, as the Body of Christ celebrates the Redeemer's resurrection from the dead.
Therefore, every Sunday the faithful Christian (who will be a faithful churchman) reaches his or her destination.
Unlike false religions, however, the Christian's Sunday-to-Sunday pattern is *not* cyclical. Instead, it is gradually progressive. Even though we are doing the "same thing" every Sunday, as we achieve our goal on earth--nonetheless, in doing so, we are also growing more and more into the image of Christ.
In light of this, if you are frustrated, always seeking some new "thing" or experience "out there" to make you happy, or to give you a sense of fulfillment--instead, become a Christian; and live in harmony with God's grace in Christ, whereby you will be satisfied, since you "arrive" every Lord's Day.
The Forum for Ecclesiocentricity is designed to educate Christians and non-Christians alike to understand the Biblical teaching concerning the Church (the "Puritan" church in particular), with regard to its principal role on the earth. When this is achieved, it is hoped that the Church would then be in a better position to convey Christ's redemptive virtues to the civil government (state), and the family.
