Re: Lying to Mennonites

There’s quite a lot written on it. One example:

Re: Lying to Mennonites

Josh: .. To give an analogy, this is like saying if someone turns up looking for a job who may be an illegal alien, you should try to report them to ICE and try to get them deported. I hope none of us would do that. It’s not a great analogy. In scriptures and historically in human law, child sexual...

Re: Why aren't Mennonites Constantinian?

Mennonet is not even close to a good representation of what I’m talking about - even by the CA professing ones here unfortunately. I don’t know why exactly it can’t gain much traction but I’ve tried. It personally works many times better in person where people can see the expression and countenance...

Re: (Not quite) A year of living.

Good morning All, We were blessed with a lovely day on a mountainside for Wayne's service and burial. Near the end of filling and covering his grave, it was very real that this was Easter: He is not here . Praise God for the hope we have in Him. https://i.imgur.com/qNBaSog.jpg Blessings, Betty ✝️

p.10 / Evangelization Re: Bunny Trails

It depends entirely on the job in question. I can understand how it wouldn’t work for a public school teacher to keep his job if he were to be sharing the kingdom of God with his students. But then again, neither are we called to put our job before Christ, rather we are called to forsake all! Not j...

Re: Church good at evangelization

I know a guy who worked at a local lumber company, and surrendered his life to Christ in his forties or fifties. He began witnessing to his coworkers on a regular basis. But after a while, he felt he could reach more people as a missionary. When he conveyed this to his boss, his boss begged him to ...

Re: Catholic to Anabaptist

I know nominal Catholics who joined Mennonite churches over the years. Some stay and others drift on. Thanks for staying on topic. i didn’t anticipate it would be difficult. i think i understand what you intend by “nominal” in your experience, i’m not sure those noted in this thread so far would ca...

Re: Prayer Requests & Personal Testimonies

i never expected to post anything about The Royals, any topic, i don’t follow. This reflects, cancer doesn’t discriminate, not age, location, socio-economic status. And, unfortunately, media is relentless. Once again, speculation is wrong, esp in the public arena. i see headlines, i don’t open repor...
