John Prater commented on Kenny Russell's blog post 'REIMAGINING CHURCH MEETINGS'
Hello Haley; Thanks for this post as it is an encouragement to me that the body can meet and be edified when you meet to the glory of God. I am having to find this edification in a loose kind of way and it mostly comes through talking with my wife…

Thanks for you response Jim; In Acts 8-10, are you first referring to Phillip being told by an angel to "go south to the road- the desert road..." where he met the Ethiopian eunuch? (9) Saul's conversion and being told by the spirit…

Thanks Jim; I truly believe that and will hang in that hope. Canada is an awesome place. We just had a group take a trip called "Eagle Trek" to Dog lake(?) this last week. God bless you!

Some thoughts about Church, vision and Gods will

I am currently reading Viola's book From Eternity to Here. It is amazing the connections he makes from Genesis to Revelation and the sense of truth he lays out and the confirmation in the spirit I have for it all. We have bought other books and are in the process of reading Reimagining Church, The Untold Story, Pagan Christianity. In my quest for further understanding I also have a book by Robert Banks, Paul's Idea of Community (revised) that I bought sometime around the time I was reading…See More

Hi!  I live in Chicago.  I'm truly trying to connect with new brothers & sisters in the Lord, as I and my family recent left the institutional church about a year and a half ago.  We've been blessed by the new knowledge that we share in Christ and about His Church.  I pastored in the "pagan church" since 1998 and left as I learned of the TRUE message of Christ & His Church.

 

Please share your testimony with me.  Do you know any saints in Chicago with whom I can connect as well?  TTYL

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…
