koinonia

Dear CLASS and CLA Families,

In a world saturated with news and information there is little need for more information or news. Technology has provided many blessings but it is powerless to provide what we most need. The purpose of this blog is to offer encouragement and further connection with Christian Liberty Academy. I will be using this site to post some of the talks that I give in the CLA chapel. I will also occasionally post thoughts and comments on other issues that I pray will be of encouragement to you.

For this blog, I have chosen the name ‘koinonia’ (koy-no-NEE-ah). This is the Greek word that is often translated as fellowship. We often think of fellowship as the time we spend with other Christians in conversation, for example sharing a donut before or after church or Sunday School. Some churches have fellowship meals on a regular basis. The word fellowship does, no doubt, include friendship and conversation. But the word has an even deeper sense of communion, sharing, and participation. God in His grace calls us to true koinonia with Him. God’s people together enjoy true koinonia in the celebration of the Lord’s Supper or Communion. And God’s people are to continue to enjoy koinonia for the advancement of the gospel.

We are thankful to God that you have chosen to partner with us in training your children to love and serve God. We pray for you and we also covet your prayers for us. May the Lord bless the koinonia that we enjoy with Him and with each other.
