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...

OK got it - of course this is correct - right on the button.

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'...

What questions are you responding to ???

Interesting comment - what do others think...

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...

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

You are welcome.

Then I suggest you stay on the subject and don't use my thread to introduce your topics.

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.

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...

Maybe you didnt read my OP carefully ???? This is what I have been saying from the outset.

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...

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.

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...

All good - and any comments welcome. This was a general exhortation to would-be Church Leaders. 'Love and Power' is His Love and His Power. We need to rethink how we gather and 'do church' It is all there in Scripture but we have largely let tradition dictate our thinking about such things.

It seems a main contention regarding the function of Church today boils down to the relationship between power and love. We have those who quote 1 Cor 13 as if its message eclipses 1 Cor 12 - yet the great commission and indeed the actions of early believers confirm that unity and community was...

Yes, and these ministries empower the Church - and churches that deny this empowering, become museums of a faith that once was. God's formula for success in preaching to the lost, is Love and Power. There is no 'better way' Love was never to be without Power, but power without love is deception...
