Carelinks Christian Network is a rapidly expanding group
of Christian believers world-wide who have a common faith
and purpose- to lift up the Lord Jesus Christ to this
world, and "be Him", as His body, to each other
and to the world at large. We are serious Bible readers,
and take God at His word. This has led us to reject a
number of popular church teachings such as the trinity
and the immortal soul. You can read the kinds of things
we've concluded about doctrine here.
But we've learnt that it's not all about theology; the
word must be made flesh in us as it was in the Lord Jesus.
He tells us very plainly how he wants us to be: faithful,
patient, kind, self controlled, lovers of God and each
other.
So in this spirit- let's get together, to encourage each
other, to help each other, pray for each other and preach
the good news together. Let's make a unified stand to
promote love, grace and compassion as we seek to please
God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Many of us have previously
been exposed to church groups that are full of argument
and endless division- requiring agreement on every matter
of Biblical interpretation, which seek to control lives,
demand tithes, and are often consumed with petty church
politics, manipulation, control. Other mainstream Christian
churches generally reject us because we don't share their
belief that God is a 'trinity'. But as more and more people
got online over the last 15 years, it became increasingly
evident that there were lots of folk imagining that they
were alone in their beliefs, attitudes and poor church
experiences- when actually, they weren't so alone at all!
And so Carelinks Christian Network was born. You can
view our general beliefs and principles here,
and if you're happy with the spirit of them, join up to
the network here. We're striving
to use the internet to build up a truly caring community,
and where possible to actually meet together for fellowship
and mission work. We interact with each other through
the forums, we hold a weekly
live, online communion service on Sundays here;
a weekly Bible study on Wednesdays here
(both the communion service and Bible study are fully
interactive, i.e. you can participate and contribute);
we issue a weekly 'Prayerlink' which you can submit requests
to (past issues here); a
weekly 'Carelink' about our work in preaching and caring
world-wide (past issues here);
we offer live online counselling sessions with our pastoral
team HERE.
Whilst all are welcome to contribute, to place articles
on the website, share thoughts at the Bible study and
communion services etc., our pastoral team tries to give
the whole network some guidance and direction, and are
also on hand (along with the help of many volunteers from
the congregation) to chat and discuss with you at any
time of day and night- we achieve that by reason of the
fact that we're located world-wide.
Because many of us came from churches where money truly
was the root of all evil, we don't push tithing, don't
ask nor hint at any membership fee. After all it doesn't
cost that much to run a website, and a few of us are happy
to meet that; and everything else is purely voluntary
time happily donated by our pastoral team. We are sincere,
mature Christian folk and we warmly invite you to come
on in and join our network!
Ezekiel 38:1-4 prophecies a latter day invasion of Israel
which includes "Tubal"- an earlier name for Tbilisi.
