| Religion | Romans 6:11 (Alive in Christ) - Jesus did not come to bring religion. He came to bring us His life, that we may know Him and live by that higher eternal life. Once you know, there is no turning back; there's only going deeper. John 3:11 "Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen" 1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. John 4:13-14 Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." |

| Favorite Quotations | God did not just reveal factual data, informational propositions of a belief-system of doctrine or theology, but He "revealed His Son..." (Gal 1:12) - James A. Fowler The message of Christ is NOT Christianity. The message of Christ is CHRIST. - Gary Amirault Christianity without Christ is a chest without a treasure, a frame without a portrait, a corpse without breath. - John R. W. Stott. It is the nature of Christ to be the Center. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer The supreme revelation is given in the life and person of Jesus. The revelation is not His teaching or His acts but Himself... Christianity is NOT a dedication to a system of rules or of thought, but a dedication to a Person. This is unique among the religions of the world. - William Temple The Scriptures should be read with the aim of finding Christ in them. Whoever turns aside from this object, even though he wears himself out all his life in learning, he will never reach the knowledge of truth. - John Calvin |

Jo Lynne Deaver left a comment for Loretta Rodrigues"Loretta,
Thanks for sharing. I have been a Christian since 1985. I guess that would be 27 years. About a year and a half ago I started questioning why I believed some of things I had been taught. In the last 6 months or so I also have read…"
Jonathon Baer replied to Jo Lynne Deaver's discussion Don't Limit Opportunities"I had hoped what I said made sense. Sometimes I don't articulate what I'm trying to communicate. Nothing is to be construed as to limit what the Holy Spirit can and will do since he is like the wind. It is not for us to always understand…"
Loretta Rodrigues left a comment for Jo Lynne Deaver"Hi Jo Lynne, Thanks for your warm welcome. I've been a Christian ( I was raised a catholic ) for the last 7-8 years and attended a NT (Pastor led) church for about a year. My husband is an unbeliever and rabidly so! He…"

Maegan Verrett left a comment for Jo Lynne Deaver"Thanks for your comment, Jo Lynne! I'm hoping to find some others like myself here in NE. It's quite lonely being the only one around. I've got my parents, but it's just not the same. You know? Thanks again! Have a great…"

Jo Lynne Deaver replied to Jo Lynne Deaver's discussion Don't Limit Opportunities"Jonathon,
Thanks for your reply. You are an encouraging and confirming voice. What you said was very much needed. I too had been told in the past that a person could be "so heavenly minded you're no earthly good.' But that…"
Jonathon Baer replied to Jo Lynne Deaver's discussion Don't Limit Opportunities"To address your first paragraph: I, too, have been somewhat dismayed to see very little activity and interaction with this excellent medium. Kenny put a lot into this and it is a shame it isn't maximized.
Second paragraph: Simply: Be ready,…"

I will absolutely be praying for you and your journey. What an amazing opportunity and blessing for you and your wife to shine for Him. I know that He has already gone before you and made your paths straight, from safe travel, good health and lodging to the fullness of the Spirit and authentic ministry. The Comforter is there for all your needs. May He powerfully use you and your wife to reflect the depths of Jesus. I pray that God would give you amazing revelation and insight into His Word and truth and would make it clear to you what you should teach and how you should teach it. Keep your eyes on the Risen One brother Jim and may the Lord bless you in your faithful service to Him.
Thanks, Dustin. I invite you to pray with us concerning something specific. My wife and I leave for Nigeria on November 10, as part of a team, to support the church in the southern part of that country with their efforts at bringing compassionate provision into villages -- borehole wells, medical clinic, care of orphans. I have been asked to do some teaching as well as bring encouragement to teachers. Our desire is that, as we come together as members of Christ's one body, He will express Himself through us and find joy in our oneness in Him. We want to discern His Spirit and be atuned to Him in His activity. It's two-week visit. We expect to learn much.
Dustin, thank you for exalting Christ on your site page. Indeed, in Him alone is life. In Him alone the Father is well-pleased. We long that He may be known by all who dwell on earth. We rejoice that all things will be summed up in Him.
Thank you, too, for the photo-glimpse of your family. May you together purpose to allow Christ-in-you to be demonstrated through you, for His pleasure and for the benefit of others who will get hints of who He is.
