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...

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?
I wanted to make this a poll but there are too many variables at play. And I value some discussion on the subject as I'm curious why people hold the values that they often do. The question is: In regards to your own personal standards and applications, what is liberal/progressive in your opinion? W...

Re: Church Government Models
What are some indicators that Jesus is truly the head, and that the Holy Spirit is indeed working through the system? Imo, one indicator would be the local church is growing in new converts to following Jesus from unchurched backgrounds. If this isn't happening, my guess is that church is too much ...

Re: NFL “values”
i generally ignore the NFL. with no plans to change. :-| So you'll be ignoring this thread? :P Actually the older I get the more I see the advantages of ignoring most things going on in this world. I believe we can be ambassadors of the Kingdom and know very little about current events whatever the...

Re: The Most "Religious" State in the Country
I forgot about Utah and had picked the next one being Alabama. Why so few Anabaptists in Utah ?
