Bible ih Simmi Kawhhran Si Dan Ding Phun 6! (6 Ways the Bible Tells Us What Church Should Look Like) By: Stephen Altrogge, Pastor, Sovereign Grace Church of Indiana, PA

1.    A biblical church involves at least two people gathering together in the name of Jesus. Amalbik mi 2 tal Jesuh hminih tonkhawm awknak Ps. Sim duhmi: Jesuh hminin mibur in biakkhawmnak (Matthew 18:20).

2.    A biblical church celebrates the Lord’s Supper together. Bawipa zanriah hmantlang khawmnak (1 Corinthians 11:23–26).

3.    A biblical church is led by qualified elders. Rinsantlak kawhhran upa ih kaihhruainak (Titus 1:5–9).

4.    A biblical church worships in song together. Thangṭhatnak hla hmunkhat teih sak tlangnak (Ephesians 5:18–21).

5.    A biblical church maintains corporate holiness through church discipline. A burpi in thianghlim nak lamah nunsimin, ṭanpi khawmawknak (Matthew 18:17).

6.    A biblical church is a place where Christians can use their spiritual gifts to bless one another. Thlarau laksawng kan comi in pakhat le pakhat thazang pekawknak (1 Corinthians 14:26).

Ziangtik Khalah Kan Ṭih Ṭullonak San 5 (5 Reasons We Never Have to Be Afraid) • By: Heidi Chiavaroli (Author of The Hidden Side)

1.    Jesus has already won the ultimate victory.

Jesuh in a tawpkhawkin nehnak a co zo!

2.    God has our good in mind no matter what. He truly does care about us (Romans 8:28).

Pathian in kan ṭhatnak ding lawng a ruat. Kan hrangah zawn in ruatsak ngaingaitu a si.

3.    God knows our tendency to be afraid, and He meets it in His Word over and over again (Romans 8:26).

Pathian in ṭihnak kan nei ding ti a thei ih, ṭihlo dingin tu le tu A ṭongkam in, in hnem.

4.    He has a plan and a purpose (Jeremiah 29:11).

Timlamnak le tumtahnak a nei.

5.    God’s faithfulness is based on the firm character of who He is, not our ever-changing obedience.

Pathian ih rin umnak cu, a thlengawk theilomi Amah mizia parah a ṭhumawkih, minungih kan thlengawk dualdonak parah a ṭhumawlo.

Mino Zumtu An Buaibainak 7 (7 Reasons Young Believers Struggle with Church) By: Dr. Chuck Lawless

1.     They’ve been told what to believe, not taught why to believe it.

Ziangmi zum ding ti an sim nan, ziangruangah zum ding timi an zirhlo.

2.  They long for older mentors but can’t find them in the local church. 

Kum upa lam zirhtu ding an duhnan, an kawhhranah an hmu thei ṭheulo.

3.    Their churches have sometimes forgotten them after their teen years.

Kawhhran in caan tampi ah, tleirawl an si hnu cun, an hngilh men ṭheu.

4.    They’ve been raised in a culture that questions or denies the moral standards of Christianity.

Khrihfa sinak nuncan ziaza thupit zia, ziangsiarlomi nunphungih ṭhanlianmi an si.

5.    They make no assumption that the Bible is the Word of God.

Bible cu Pathian ṭongkam a si ti an zumlo.

6.    They’ve sometimes come from Christian homes marked by hypocrisy.

Hrekkhat cu kaa lawngih Khrihfa (A hmin men fang Khrihfa) innsang ihsin rami an si.

7.    They don’t know many strong believers well.

Zumtu zohṭhimtlak tampi an thei fiang ngaingai lo.

Nu pumin kan suak

Pumpi khapkhat hrang

Kan ṭuan, kan hawl

Kan bum awk, kan el awk

Kan zir, kan to awk

Thi dingin, kan nung

Zumtu cu…

Nung dingin, kan thi

Nang le kei

Pumpi khapkhat leng hrang

Nun thiamin

Caan hmang uh si!….
