I pray you are continued in His Blessing in whatever fellowship He plants you next. I'll probably not be posting as much here for some time. My day job is heating up because the students are back and my case load to help other profs with online…
Ryan Huling replied to Daniel C. Elliott's discussion 'I"m trying to understand but not getting it!'
I'm sorry Dan if my words about church gatherings came across harshly to you. Sometimes I can get a little raw with my wording and I don't really intend to hurt anyone. What I said was my general opinion based on my general experience. I…

Thanks Cindy for pointing out that perception. Nope, not angry at all. I'm questioning-- trying to understand what people are saying about the OC. At the same time, Il am trying to point out that much of what is given as illustrative…

Dear Ryan, sorry about the name mix up. I am flying through these posts pretty fast trying to gleen all the info I can.
Again, I'm sorry for how you were treated by a pastor but I have to wonder if it was real or perceived. Sometimes, when our…

Hi Dan, I assume your were talking to me when you called me Ron. Ryan, Ron pretty close.
Thanks for the prayers. always need those. Had a really rough weekend. Today the fog lifted and had a much better day. Maybe those prayers helped. The small…
Daniel C. Elliott replied to Kenny Russell's discussion 'Prayer Wall'
I see this discussion happened last Spring. How did these prayers work out? How did the Lord respond to your initial prayer?
Daniel C. Elliott replied to Kenny Russell's discussion 'Prayer Wall'
And some Godly ones who still love to worship and serve inside churches you all like to characterize ICs. Perhaps there is room in the Body of Christ for you to allow us to remain there as well?
Daniel C. Elliott replied to Daniel C. Elliott's discussion 'I"m trying to understand but not getting it!'
Thank you Rod. I appreciate you joining in and sharing your ideas helping me to get what it is that an OC is and does.
So, then, since you believe those horrible abusive groups (Jone, Koresh etc) were ICs then I guess you are saying that IC does…

Brother Ron
Please accept an apology from this Pastor for the behavior of that brother pastor. I know it can be hard to take criticism and the Bible centered teacher must always learn to do that. Had someone like you shared concerns with me I would…
Daniel C. Elliott replied to Daniel C. Elliott's discussion 'I"m trying to understand but not getting it!'
Hmmmmm, I see. That set of notes gives me a picture... 5 to 15 people sitting around on furniture in a living room just waiting for something to start. Someone says let's sing_____ and if there is consensus, you sing it (with our without…
Rod replied to Daniel C. Elliott's discussion 'I"m trying to understand but not getting it!'
Pastor Dan:What I read in your last paragraph sounds a bit like the hippies of the 60's "3 )... and they should have a community life.. a shared life.. that happens 7 days a week where Jesus Christ is central and pre-eminent in ALL…
Rod replied to Daniel C. Elliott's discussion 'I"m trying to understand but not getting it!'
Hello Dan, I have been a follower of the Organic Church idea mainly as written about by Frank Viola in such books as Pagan Christianiy and Reimagining the Church. The institutional church has a hierachy and a set order of the meeting. Many of the…
Daniel C. Elliott replied to Ryan Huling's discussion 'Ch 4: Reimagining the Gathering Place' in the group Reimagining Church Discussion
Of course, Ryan, I have to agree. All of us in evangelical churches have always said this. The structure or building or facility is not the church, the collective members of persons who are mutually in relationship to the Holy Spirit through faith…
Daniel C. Elliott replied to Ryan Huling's discussion 'Ch 4: Reimagining the Gathering Place' in the group Reimagining Church Discussion
Yes, Gordon, and Victoria, "Living Stones" and "fitted together" are nice plattitudes. The Greek and the context for those references, however are diverse. When groups are seeking to forge relationships, a clear understanding…
Daniel C. Elliott replied to Ryan Huling's discussion 'Ch 4: Reimagining the Gathering Place' in the group Reimagining Church Discussion
So what happened? You speak of it as though it were past tense. What changed in your OC, simple church, or home church?
Daniel C. Elliott replied to Ryan Huling's discussion 'Ch 3: Reimagining the Lord's Supper' in the group Reimagining Church Discussion
Great thoughts Janeen. Thanks. Your ideas help me a lot.

Darrell Meeks replied to Michael Hartson's discussion 'Why Can't Christian's Hang Out?'
Michael, my experiences with such groups for more than 20 years now is pretty much the same. Some of them broke up over childish things, such as fleshly disputes, others because they wanted that "religious fix" like spiritual junkies…

Jim London commented on Malcolm Harris's blog post 'FUNDEMENTALS OF OUR FAITH – PART 5'
Malcolm, I agree with Elaine that this succinct presentation is very helpful. Thank you. The one matter of baptism(s) has been an issue that has occasioned the setting of God's children against one another for almost 2000 years, with such…

this is wonderful Malcolm. It is confirming to me what God's purpose has been in my life. I need to' inwardly digest' it now :)

The Unseen War by David Kortje
A few weeks back I shared a book review with all of you as I felt it was worthy of your reading. This week I find myself doing the same thing again. You are probably wondering if I have suddenly become a “book reviewer” which of course is not the case at all. In fact quite the contrary. The thing is that for the first time in a very long time I have picked up two books that have really impressed something new in my heart. Not necessarily because the topic was new but more so because of the way…See More

It's on Vimeo, Michael! It's probably the one vid that's not on YouTube! Ha!
Michael David commented on Jim London's video
Trying to find this video on youtube. Can't seem to locate it on youtube?
Jim London replied to Michael Hartson's discussion 'Why Can't Christian's Hang Out?'
Great story, Michael -- and a good analogy. Two options: contriving a sense of safety/ control or trusting the God who reveals. One is an illusion; the other is life.
Michael Hartson replied to Michael Hartson's discussion 'Why Can't Christian's Hang Out?'
I know I'm responding to myself, but I had idea. I like stories; sometimes they teach us about ourselves. A couple of weeks ago I needed some engine work done on an old Chevy. Tired of paying a mechanic…
Darrell Meeks replied to Darrell Meeks's discussion 'Tithe-Whipped'
I like reading both sides of the issue, and then reading for myself what is written in the Bible. Some thieves have PhD's, and some don't.
