    Thanks for the feedback I will send a general alert about this, folks will need to select the Watch tab.

    Hey, thanks for your thoughts. Jesus had very few intellectuals in His team... Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Yes may we...

    No problem - my life has been pretty full on and it looks like I will do a study about every two weeks. Just enjoy what you can, your participation is appreciated at what level you can manage.

    Yes - right there we touch on the nub of the issue. There is a whole dimension of life missed by failing to be as a little child - approaching life and service in simple trust, following the voice of Jesus within and knowing that the father will watch over your journey and keep you from...

    Yes I do, but we are approaching bible study here as a joint effort and give room for 'the least' to be heard. There are several members among us who have mined the Word and have really good Truths to bring. This is a matter of sharing around the Word rather than adopting the 'lecture format'...

    Sorry folks I got you to read Acts 4 but somehow skipped Acts 3. Let's read Acts 3 and Acts 4 as they pretty much go together. Here we see the Good News being boldly proclaimed along with the Holy Spirit confirming the Truth with the miraculous. This is the great commission in action as it...

    Is anyone else a Seer?

    Interesting that simply posting Scripture is the most effective way of combatting opinion creep.

    Whay part of your post do you think I don't agree with ?

    Other folks can understand me perfectly. That sentence refers to the ongoing division between secessionists and continuationists.

    Power and Love.

    I wrote this back in 2009... Living our Christian Faith Together. In my first essay I spoke about returning to unity-based fellowship as a stepping stone to rediscovering the power of Jesus. Today I have another issue for us to consider, the neglect of community in our modern Christian lives...

    Is anyone else a Seer?

    1 Corinthians 14:29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment. Acts 13:1 Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the...

    Is anyone else a Seer?

    1 Corinthians 12:28 And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.

    Power and Love.

    Yes - some good points here... However the issue remaining is the relationship between gathering for fellowship and the formation of community. I see much of the Wisdom around how community should operate in the OT yet to be Christ centred as a people introduces an entirely new dimension to...
