I would say this fruit inspection process should be ongoing, with members being willing to challenge each other in areas where the fruit is starting to suggest heart problems. Are we showing brotherly love if we believe a fellow church member is not truly converted and we don't speak to him about i...

We aren't in the west and we don't have a Christmas service either... we do have a Christmas music program, I haven't paid attention to know exactly when it will be.

Last year we had a Thanksgiving program (held on a normal Sunday morning) which all the youth put on.

I think it's useful to look at what Christians who've actually tried to "speak prophetically" have done. It seems the impulse to do so stems not from a desire to actually be a good Christian witness, but rather to find an excuse to cloak one's desire for a particular political affiliation ...

Hmm, Flint MI.... I've often thought it would be awesome for a HUGE group of Anabaptists to all decide to move and "buyout" Flint MI. Like every house that is for sale just buy - clean - move in. Start churches there. It would be such the hugest contrast for that community and also there ...

Large families are awesome and I can't imagine not having even one of my children or children to be that God intends me to have. Economy and money are pretty silly excuses in my opinion. Rice and beans are cheap... Scratch and dents stores are cheap. Thrifts stores are cheap. Economical cars are ch...
