Re: Marrying Someone With a Promiscuous Past
I like a simple approach such as seek the Lord's guidance as that is what He sent us the Holy Spirit for. I believe I would have avoided much suffering regarding marriages if I had just trusted that the Spirit is given us to lead us in the way that we should go and sought His guidance. And how is t...

Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist
Seems to me there is a difference in what conversion means when talking about those who are raised in a Christian home compared to those who are converted from a non-Christian home. Those like myself, raised in a Christian home, might regard becoming a Christian as an on-going process and do not hav...

Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist
In a previous post I wrote - When I spent some years in a Mennonite Brethren church, I recall there were courses given at times for those who were keen on evangelism which taught people methods of reaching others with the Gospel in their daily lives outside the church. Courses such as 'Alpha' by Ni...

Re: Marrying Someone With a Promiscuous Past
I'm thankful that God not only forgives our past failings but He puts them into the sea of His forgetfulness never to be remembered against us again. He is a God of new beginnings. Not that we treat this as a license to sin but to not let our past failings keep us from moving forward in Him. I belie...

Re: Living in Peace
In short, I'm trying to say that the near-constant refrain of challenging conservative Anabaptists as somehow not emphasising enough being born again, etc. means that part of living in peace ends up not being "debating" with such a person. I have an opportunity to enter such debates frequ...
