Lol!

Hi Josho, It's hard either way I think...unless one "fits in" a small Church, they will be very lonely...happened to me. Now I'm in a much bigger Church, split in 4 locations but...with 5000 people attending in toto...still a slew of people one will never know. Wish I could find a house Church...

I think you are correct Ron. I feel much change on the horizon...new beginnings. I know you have changes coming down the road, and I also have things happening that are kind of throwing my routines off balance. Don't want to see FH leave, more imbalance :D @FHII , maybe you just need a break...

I think you might have missed this part of FHII's post: "[Sidenote: This is the point where some will chime in and say, "Well the people are the Church, not the building!". Duh? Tell me something I don't know, and when did I ever say anything about a building? I said the people assemble for...

I do @FHII , agree I mean. Though I do believe somebody can out grow a "Church". I go for fellowship and worship more so than the teachings. The only problem I find in a larger Church, is that as soon as the service is over, the place clears out pretty quick! Makes it hard to get to know...

I do absolutely love my small group, above and beyond Sunday services!!! We talk about a ton of things but, of course, we do have cards made up with scripture verses from the sermon and questions for our small groups to go over but...that is over in like 5 minutes! The best part is gathering...

Agreed, and Amen.

I do understand what you are saying and it is very true. Yet, will you put every pastor, every Church in a box? There are some wonderful Church's still, far and few between but...if someone is looking for a good bible teaching Church, they need to pray and search where in their local bodies...

Same here Pat. My Church has 4 locations and there are more of the younger folks there than the older. Although we have all ages, the young are by far the majority. In my last Church, it was the opposite. And, you hit the nail on the head...the ones not allowing the Holy Spirit to lead are...

"So if it is all Christ from beginning to end and He owns all the good works we do, then the Lord is also responsible for those that don't receive that work from beginning to end." Wouldn't it be the person who does not "receive" His gift that is responsible? He offers and we either receive...

What does it mean that Jesus is the author and perfecter of our faith then? My bible say's He is the author and finisher of our faith! "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Phil. 1:6 Yes, He continues the...

Actually, only the High Priest was allowed into the Most Holy Place. And, of course I believe that Jesus ushered in a New Covenant and when the curtain rent, He made it so we can approach Gods throne boldly. It would be nice if you would quote where I said that the "Levites" were a "type"?

"I love the opportunity we have to get close to one another based on who we are alone, but yes, it makes losing others more painful now as well. But I encourage it. As the old saying goes, "Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." This is so true, and it is easier knowing...

To my Scarecrow in heaven, Willie T.

Yes I would agree. It is God AND us together. "For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building" 1 Corinthians 3:9

Yes, of course I agree with that although, it is "author and finisher of our "faith"! I don't see the connection to what I wrote. Scripture tells us that we are also to "work out our own salvation.." as well. IOW, work out what has been worked in us.

Our God can does and will continue to do what ever He wishes. Do you not think that our perfect in all His way's God is unable to use all bad to the good of those who love and are called according to His purpose? Doesn't He bring about good from all things? He knows already the choices we...

"Odd, how even here on the forum you can grow so fond of someone you have never met face to face, but it be as you have gained a dear brother." Yes it is odd, for sure Victory. But then, we fellowship in the Spirit so to me, it is no easier to lose those we have grown close to on this forum...

You are right HIH, we need to be excited for Willie and pray for his wife. This kind of makes you less likely to get too close with someone on these boards. To myself, it is no different than when you lose someone who is physically in your life. Would be so nice to receive a vision of what...
