John MacArthur has written a series of articles called “Why I Love the Church” at Pulpit Magazine online. The four part series (including today’s conclusion) focuses on Christ’s church as it is defined and spoken of in scripture. MacArthur provides some great insight for all of us to consider regarding the Church. From pointing out the careless approach to the Church that many in the evangelical world have taken, to what the Church’s role is on the earth and how this role differs from the idol created by the RCC. Christ is the chief cornerstone as mentioned in Ephesians 2:19-22. He is the head and must be the one we serve. The link is in the text above. It will take you to Part 1 of the series. Once you are on the page just find the additional links to the series in the upper right column of the Pulpit Magazine page.

Hey Joshua,
Welcome to BarryDean4Christ. John is probably not going to be in Omaha in the near future. I know he has a pretty busy schedule. Dr. Don Whitney is coming to OBC October 20th. I am really looking forward to that. Check out the 2007 Church Conference page.

Thanks Arleen. Christ is indeed the head of the church, and no matter what folks do He will be glorified.
I appreciate the comment and the affirmation. I checked out your blog. Keep up the good writing.
