Proper
Perspective
Dee Bowman
“Perspective” was originally the science of optics. It is
now used in conversation to describe a mental view or disposition;
it’s how one views life. For this little piece, perspective is
your viewpoint about life.
How we view life is vital to our happiness as well as to our
eternal destiny. May I offer a few suggestions about a good
perspective?
Begin by getting a proper view of life.
Culture is a poor measuring stick. Look around you. People
everywhere are more interested in being somebody than in being a
good somebody. They have elevated success to such a high place
that character and excellence don’t seem to matter. Society
rules.

What is your idea of a "Church"?
Sometimes our understanding of certain things is colored by what
we've been taught in the past or by a perception which has been
shaped by culture. When people think of "church," they
may be thinking of a building or a denomination or even an
association or club of some kind. But none of these are what the
Bible means by the term "church."
A Bible Definition
The term "church" itself does not neccessairly have a
religious connotation. It is used in Acts 19, for example, to
describe; an assembly in a city - a "town meeting." But
Jesus Christ invested the term with rich spiritual meaning when He
said, "I will build My church and the gates of Hades will not
overpower it" (Matthew 16:18).
