Welcome

If you are looking for a church to be a part of, we would love to have you join us. Please feel free to visit any Sunday.

ClearNote Church is a reformed, evangelical, Christian church. 

  • "Reformed" means that we believe God is sovereign in all aspects of life, including our salvation. This means that God is in complete control, which, if you think about it, makes sense. After all, we're talking about God. 
  • "Evangelical" means that we believe the Bible is actually God's word. And we proclaim the good news it contains, because that is the only way that people will be saved from their sins. 
  • "Christian" means that we have repented of our sins, and believed in Jesus for forgiveness. Jesus is God's son. He came to earth and was born as a baby boy. He lived a perfect, sinless life and died on a cross, executed for his people to pay the penalty that their sin deserves. 

That's the really simple version. If you'd like to find out more, you can read this page, or just come to one of our worship services and ask questions. 

Of course, please feel free to contact us if you need a ride, or if you want more information. We are happy to help in any way we can. We hope you will join us soon on a Sunday morning.

Should we give to beggars?

Submitted by Joseph Bayly on Thu, 2012-05-10 18:18

Recently I received an email with the following question:

Should we give to beggars? I've seen a surprising number on street corners in Indy, all with cardboard signs.

On the one hand, I think of: "Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you." - Matthew 5:42

There's also: "For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either." - 2 Thessalonians 3:10

Worldliness in the Church

Submitted by Joseph Bayly on Wed, 2012-03-28 18:05

What few Christians seem to realize is that a church may take a strong stand against certain flagrant sins of the world and yet be decidedly worldly. That is a fact worth dwelling upon...

The leaders of a church not infrequently follow the bad example of Jesus' twelve disciples and vie with one another for honor. That, too, is worldliness. 

We Judge Motives All the Time

Submitted by Joseph Bayly on Wed, 2012-03-28 15:14

Attributing sinful motives to a man today will quickly bring the response, "We can't know the heart. We must not act as though we can read people's minds." or something of that sort. But it's almost always when somebody is offended that he says this, just like people only say, "Judge not lest ye be judged!" when they are offended. The second quote is trotted out when you confront a man about his sinful actions, but it is the first quote I'm interested in. That one is used when you confront a man about his sinful motives. So let's answer the burning question. Is he right?

Helpful Quotes About Prayer

Submitted by Joseph Bayly on Tue, 2012-02-21 11:21

These quotes come from "The Hidden Life of Prayer" by David M'Intyre. Let them be an encouragement to you to learn to "pray without ceasing". (With thanks to Malorie.)

"The Lord filled me with desire, and made me feel that I must be as much with him alone as with souls in public."

"I should count the days, not by what I have of new instances of usefulness, but by the times I have been enabled to pray in faith, and to take hold upon God."

Marriage Is Greater Than Love

Submitted by David Abu-Sara on Tue, 2012-02-21 11:15

"‎Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
