"...I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." (1 Tim. 3:15)

There is a restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia named, "Church of God Grill." Someone called and asked about their unusual name and the reply was, "We had a little mission down here, and we started selling chicken dinners after church on Sunday to help pay the bills. People liked the chicken, and we did such a good business, that eventually we cut back on the church service. After a while, we just closed down the church altogether, and kept on serving the chicken dinners. We kept the name we started with, and that's 'Church of God Grill.'"

This incident is similar to many congregations and denominations who have over time drifted from their original purpose. Let us as a church of our Lord continue to be the pillar and ground of the truth. Let us continue to uphold, defend, and proclaim the truth that souls might be saved.
