Are You Attending the NEBA Conference? Henry Ford Would.


Often times, a new Christian wants to live out their newfound life privately.  Perhaps that reflects poorly on our emphasis of discipleship, or maybe it just reveals the individualism of our society.  Either way, we cannot neglect the power that comes from uniting in Christ. 

Hebrews 10:22-25 says, “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.  And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.  Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” 

There is significance in working together toward a goal—it revitalizes the soul.  Henry Ford believed in the power of mutual effort; he said, “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.”

We don’t normally think of Christianity in terms of success, but we do attempt to move forward toward the goal of becoming like Christ.  And in the end, we know we achieved success when we hear God say, “Well done, my good and faithful servant!”  That is the finish line, and God made it clear that we should run together. 

That is why tonight will be a blessing.  The NEBA Evangelism Conference is a chance for us to meet and “spur one another” toward our goal.  Join us at to fellowship and worship with other believers.
