terry munroe replied to Rich's discussion What to do with Kids during Organic Church meetings?"We have a spare room with a DVD player.
Sometimes (we only have one 4 year old right now) he just brings a truck in the room for a bit and plays quietly. Then he goes back to the DVD. Then he comes out with another toy.
It works fine."
terry munroe replied to Rich's discussion Can Christians like Mixed Martial Arts/UFC?"It doesn't bother me if you watch it.
I do sometime."
Mark Collings replied to Rich's discussion Can Christians like Mixed Martial Arts/UFC?"Is there a diffference between the secular and the spiritual? If our lives aree to be a service to God, how can there be a difference? I don't know about you, but most of my time is spent in the "secular"."
Rich replied to Rich's discussion Can Christians like Mixed Martial Arts/UFC?"At a minimum, people usually have an opinion on MMA. Should Christian's be supporting this sport? Is it a sin to even watch it/enjoy watching it? I added this video, which is a former UFC champs…"

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…"

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,…"
