Re: Living in Peace
I'm hoping someone might chose option 4 or 5 and share how they go about living in the peace of God that goes beyond all understanding. Perhaps they don't exist here on this forum as, to them, it is a place to flee from ? I prefer not to try to intellectually discudd these sort of things with peopl...

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?
ADC is more congregational and has a more "Beachy" feel..and is influenced by "kingdom" theology. One of the founders of ADC tells me that only about 5% of ADC is influenced by "kingdom theology". Could you (or someone else) elaborate on what is meant by "Kingdom ...

Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist
The place where I am most familiar with where people are born again is through home bible studies. A Christian invites an unbeliever to join in their 'care group' where they have a time of getting to know each other and study the bible using a bible course or just going through a book in the bible a...

Re: Living in Peace
To my own questions :) - one practical way of promoting living in peace is when we remind one another as MaxPC wrote - 'letting go: ceasing to try to control outcomes and letting God deal with the matters at hand. By entrusting all to God to sort it all brings peace.' Seems to me this is a harder th...

Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist
I'm curious if anyone knows when MCUSA and evangelical Mennonites such as LMC discarded the practice of week-long revival meetings. I'm also curious about the stated and unstated reasons for this change. I think they phased out gradually in the last half of the 20th century. Some congregations were...

Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist
When I was younger in Pentecostalism, we had revival meetings in the church that sometimes went on for a couple weeks, every night, and these were focused on reviving the saints. In other words, getting the saints to re-focus on their spiritual lives and make new beginnings in their walk with the Lo...

Re: Living in Peace
Thank you for this thread on peace. Here's how I understand living in peace... Living in peace is only possible because of my faith-based relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. I trust what Jesus did in His death, resurrection and present intercession in heaven at the Father's right hand. He is m...

Re: Living in Peace
In my perspective it is less about actively pursuing and more about letting go: ceasing to try to control outcomes and letting God deal with the matters at hand. By entrusting all to God to sort it all brings peace. I agree. Well put !!! This verse may seem to support being over weight :lol: but it...
