WHAT DOES THE LORD REQUIRE OF YOU? |
 And what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”- Micah 6:8. A similar list is found in the gospel of Matthew 23:23 (NIV) “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. |

Ancient Man and His First Civilizations |
|
Religion and everyday life As mentioned before, the religion of
Neolithic (late stone age) and pre-dynastic Egypt appears to have been
animistic/nature worship, where each village or town had its own spirit
deity in the form of an animal, bird, reptile, tree, plant or object.
This spirit was always in something that played a prominent part in the
life of the people.

We are in a Spiritual Battle |
 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:12). We are fighting an evil spiritual force which organizes and controls the darkness in this world.

Community Excel Religion is committed to listening to the community residents, and hearing their dreams, ideas and thoughts. This is often referred to as the felt-need concept. A felt need is an individual’s or group’s belief that they need something. This relies heavily upon an individual’s own perception of their need, and their perception of any discrepancy between what their situation may be and what their situation should be. This definition is very similar to a ‘want’. Listening is most important, as the people of the community are the vested treasures of the future.
