    How do you hear from God?

    A quick story that is very encouraging. There is a church on the outskirts of Melbourne which I think is aligned with Bill Johnson, where they put evangelism and discernment together and go out to the shopping malls to evangelise. They are taught and practice discernment and when they go out to...

    How do you hear from God?

    It definitely gives you a leg up when you have his peace.

    Get In A Bible Preaching Church!

    Hands-off is the right term. A lot of the time you didn't know he was there because he was short he didn't stand out.

    How do you hear from God?

    I have family members who are in real estate and they say that most people know which house to buy as soon as they step inside one. They may have looked at several in their search and rejected them all until they step inside one and they feel that this one is just what they are looking for. As...

    As they say, dogs have masters and cats have servants.

    How do you hear from God?

    This is problematic as too many church leaders do not want us to hear from God. They want us to hear from them and in a sense are no different to a catholic priest. The pastor and the priest are the go-betweens so we do not have to hear from God. Where I live now, it has been made very clear...

    And just when you thought they couldn't get any loonier...

    I am not an expert on the internet and all things technical but I do know that already our use of the internet has given certain of the internet businesses like Google and Facebook and a few others the ability to track what we do on the internet. I have looked at something on the internet and...

    Get In A Bible Preaching Church!

    I have to admit after 10 years at South Chard which was exceptional and life-giving, my experience of the church leaves a lot to be desired. Here in Australia, there are many good churches, but very few Spirit-led churches. When we first arrived here 40 years ago, we were taken to one of the...

    The Godhead/Trinity Has Already Been Scientifically Proven

    First I have heard of it and I have been around. I think I will stick to what the scripture says rather than speculate with all sorts of hypotheticals

    Get In A Bible Preaching Church!

    As I tell people that it was the only church we experienced where there was no programme, no platform, no set preaching, no pastor (elders), As did many, many people and a lot of them went back home and started something similar.

    I like that idea.

    WAR

    Matthew 24:6 But you are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See, do not be terrified. For all things must take place, but the end is not yet. I am reading a book written by a Christian who fought in Kosovo with the American forces. My brain got into gear and started thinking about war...

    Poll: Does the mainstreaming of tattoos open up increasing opportunities for faith ink witness?

    Thank you for that. I guess my ignorance is due to the fact I have never seen one. The only church I know of that has embraced tattoos of any kind is Hillsong. I have seen pictures of Justin Beiber with his shirt off and I think that he looks gross. It makes me sick to look at him.

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    I have done quite a bit of study on this topic. I know all the arguments for Sunday because I was brought up in a Sunday church, the main reason was that in those days, virtually everyone had Sunday off from work. A large number had Saturday as well except the Retail Trade which worked on...

    Are christian teachings sustainable?

    What teachings are you referring to. Talking about something generically does not give us any clue as to what you are talking about.

    BREAKING OF BREAD

    A sarcastic and supercilious comment. Your the one that puts faith in them meaning what they do not, not me.

    No. he died at the age of 81 in 2018. I was at Basingstoke Baptist when he took over from Michael Pusey. He eventually went to Vancouver, Canada to head up his own movement known as Salt and Light and ran it from there. Basingstoke became part of that movement. Michael moved on to another...
