Church A Center Pillar For Christians

As long as the religion of Christianity has lived on the earth, churches have been around for the same time. The very word 'church' has now become symbolic of Christianity. The strongest of believers in Christianity believe in the church tremendously and visit churches on a regular basis. I too have visited several churches and especially love going to a church on a quiet day. Have you ever felt a feeling of awe and wonder when visiting a church? What is it that makes these churches so mesmerizing and peaceful?


Many a times when I'm low, I am going visit a church and sit under that large ceiling and glass painted panes. The feeling you get sitting in that quiet atmosphere and observing the beauty and effort with that the church is formed is highly satiating. While the silence and peace exuding from the area makes you calm, the whole construction or demeanor of the building makes you appreciate the beauty and wonder that god has presented us with.

As hypnotizing as churches happen to be, the point of fact is that the spread of churches and Christianity across the world is totally due to the work done by Christian missionaries. A couple of bed time stories have been told and heard about all the excellent work the missionaries did so as to make people believe into changing their faith and adopting Jesus Christ as their savior. Missionaries have lived their whole lives in a very different country or country ; living inside the territory of a forest or little conglomerates simply to spread the religion of folks in Christianity. These missionaries have run charitable faculties and infirmaries. They have cured thousands of poor and needy folks freed from cost. Food has been provided to the hungry, shelter to the destitute, clothing for the Naked you mention it and they have done it all this simply to let folks know that Jesus Christ is there to help them from their predicament.

Now though the good work by the Church missionaries is quite evident, certain parts of the world also cite some horrific deeds done by the missionaries in a bid to convert people from their religion to Christianity. Though hard to believe, the history of world religion explains how the missionaries terrorized and tortured people among various tribal zones of the world to force them to convert to Christianity. Brutal acts were performed to scare the people of the region into converting to Christianity. Amongst these areas, people adopted the religion of Christianity simply to stay alive or keep their loved ones safe from the tortures by these missionaries.

Regardless of a mixed history of goodness and noxious, churches have been about for sometime now and are here for good. The regular social service rendered by these churches for the sake of the society is highly gladdening. The churches continue to coach scholars without a charge, provide food to folks with no money to buy food and such like. Church, in true sense, outline the quintessence of Christianity love thy fellow homo sapien like thy ownself!
