Ryan Huling Be a Man! but just be quiet about it

Could the organic/simple church growth be due to the fact that men are not too keen on the feminimity associated with many institutional church settings?

Men are hardly allowed to be men in most "churches." There is a sense of adventure and risk in organic/simple church. Not so much in general "church" attendance. Men don't get too excited at the prospect of going to a service once a week to sing "lovesongs to Jesus." (don't get me wrong I love Jesus)

Men want to

Ryan Huling It doesn't Matter Where You Worship but How you Worship.

(a paraphrase of a portion of John 4: 19-24)

The Lesbian woman says," Why is it you religious people insist that your church is the only place of worship ?"

Jesus Replied,"The time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the father in your living room or a special building. But the time is coming- indeed- it is here now when true worshippers will worship the father in spirit and truth.The Father is looking for those who will worship Him that w

I am against the attitude that says: "My church is better than your church."

I am against the notion of the Church being led by a man rather than Jesus Christ.

I am against the hierchichal pecking order found in most denomination

Ryan Huling The Bigger the Flashier the Better! Right!?

I read somewhere that God uses the weak and foolish things to confound the wise. I also remember reading that God does not judge by outward appearances but looks at the heart. I also read that out of the heart springs the issues of life.

I'm reminded of many Bible people who were not exactly superstars in the world's eyes. Just to name a few: John the Baptist, Gideon, Noah, Abraham, Peter. Jesus accumulated quite a following but ended up basically dying alone on a cross. Our he

Herman Ostry's barn floor was under twenty-nine inches of water after a flood. He needed a miracle - and fast - to salvage his barn and be ready for winter.

Jeff Stewart "Not Funny 'ha-ha'; Funny Queer?"

The "Innovation Station" Facebook page asked the following question.
Homosexuality and Christianity can be a polarizing topic. Some churches choose to ignore scriptural references to
homosexuality because they feel it promotes hatred and prejudice toward
