Yes, Tommyab, you're right about the horrible things that have happened under the guise of being "led by the Spirit". Perhaps I need to clarify myself, as I'm not always clear when I write. If a person has been led by the Spirit,…
I pray for Organic Churches to start all over the US and Canada and everywhere else. I pray God will touch the hearts of all the members of Gottalife to give of their time and talents to the Organic Church.
Hi Will!
I just have one comment...
That music might not be 'religious' enough, and therefore is 'bad'
However, that doesn't hold sway in God's perspective.
Also, one thing that rings true about many things is that…
Dear Wil--
While I'm not a self-proclaimed expert on music (even though I, too, sing), my thoughts are that you should do what it is the Holy Spirit has put in your heart to do. Not everything is going to be peaches & cream, as there are…
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:

I'll find some more resources to share with you as time allows.

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…
Jossimar, bienvenido al blog de MHI, espero que aqui encuentres informacion relevante sobre como desarrollar discipulos, lideres e iglesias utilizando una proceso estrategico simple/organico. Bendiciones!
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…
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.
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…
