Anybody in my area?

Posted on June 5, 2010 at 7:00pm 0 Comments

Just wondering if there's anyone in the southernmost area of New Jersey. My husband & I have been isolated for a few years, since we pulled out of "organized religion".

We have not had any real fellowship (in person), other than if I go online, here.

I suspect there are many more folks in the same situation.

Food for thought--Jewish Style

1. "What part of 'Thou shalt not' don't you understand?

2. As an encouragement: "Don't give up--remember that Moses was once a basket case".

---Both are funny, yet thought provoking.

Like a Shepherd He Leads Us

Posted on June 14, 2009 at 8:40am 1 Comment

In response to Pen4Him:
That was a great revelation. It is an example of the golden nuggets of lessons He shows us, if we're willing to be open to Him. We've been indoctrinated by the IC that we must be "properly trained" to witness to unbelievers. Truthfully, we only need to be sensitive to the promptings of the H.S., for He is the only one who can read a person's heart & respond to that particular moment in time. We are just the vessel. :)

God's Timing is Perfect

Posted on June 13, 2009 at 12:12am 0 Comments

Let me share this testimony that I recently came across. It'll bless you. It concerns a woman & her cousin, who, as young ladies, insisted that her father allow them to go to America to visit some friends. After a time, her father relented, but not without praying the Lord's protection over them. For several days, they traveled across Europe to England, ready at last to board the ship that would bring them to America. But something was wrong with her cousin's passport. It was missing the… Continue

Man's "Evolution" of Christianity?

Posted on June 7, 2009 at 12:22pm 0 Comments

I read a quote (don't know who to attribute it to) from another website. It struck me as something simple, yet profound:



"Christianity began as a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. When it went to Athens, it became a philosophy. When it went to Rome, it became an organization. When it went to Europe, it became a culture. When it came to America, it became a business."



I don't know about anyone else here, but I am deeply disturbed by the "in your face" marketing… Continue

I don't know of any books off the top of my head, but I know they're out there. One place to start is the following link: Tithing Article I'll find some more resources to share with you as time allows. DM

Very interesting.  If you know of some book or material that dives a little deeper into the subject, I would appreciate it.  Send my a message if you know of anything.

I just uploaded a song called "Be Still My Soul" on my page that I re-mastered, re-instrumented, added effects, and made a simple midi file sound fantastic. Enjoy

Michael, I certainly understand what you're saying. Very few ministers ever speak the TRUTH about the tithe. In OT times, the tithe was the inheritance of the Levites who were not allowed to make a living by any means as was common among the…

I have seen a lot of sermons on the tithing, or giving; some of them very strange.  I remember some time a go when my adult daughter was a teen, and going through a very difficult time, was being hauled off in a police car. We called the pastor…

yes, Quite true. "Doing Church" in house with out the Organic content, is just switching buildings.  We as people tend to compartmentalize areas of our life. Church in this part, school in this part, marriage in this part,…

Amen to that.   It's also of interes that those who had, for example, only nine lambs or calves born in a year, they were not required to hand over anything.   One thing I will say is that I thoroughly appreciate the OT system of…

You're so right, Darrell!  Many of the house churches I'm familiar with are not organic expressions of church but are really just institutional church in miniature.  As Frank Viola says, organic church (OC) is one of the most…

Michael Hartson commented on Jim London's blog post 'What do we do when there is no group to join?'
When I think about the most significant points in my Christian walk, they did not take place in an organized, institutionalized environment.  It was incidental to my world, but wholly intentional by God.

Michael Hartson replied to Michael Hartson's discussion 'Why Can't Christian's Hang Out?'
Sure, it's intentional.  God is responsible for the Results, we are responsible for the action.  God asks us to share our lives, talk to others about him, love others.  Who gets saved, or what a person does or does not do or what…

Michael, you are sharing and asking about something that is very crucial. Often the pattern is "We don't want to be that programmed meeting all designed and led by the fellow hired to make it all run smoothly. We want to be more…
