Hi was March 30th group cancelled, or was there just no group?

Hi just wondering if there was group on Sunday Mar.30th.  I came to the church shortly before 5, I waited til 5 and didn't see anyone.  I guess there was no meeting, but I haven't heard anything. Anyway, just letting you all know I dropped by.   Kevin

Guido's idea for publishing a devotional sounds like a great idea!

I would have posted on here some of the things I've read in Oswald Chambers but I'm afraid of the liabilities of plagiarism, and not sure how you correctly document copyrighted works on here.   But I will say I was amazed to learn that a lot of the things he said were to British soldiers that he preached to in Egypt during World War I.   He died very young, in his twenties I think, and his wife compiled all his sermons into a number of books.  He is the author of a number of books, I have read a number of them and they are so good.  The only thing is that he goes really deep s  read more »

Hi guys

Been thinking about: Oswald Chambers Oswald Chambers is a interesting guy to me.  One of his books, My Utmost for His Highest, always grabs me, and I keep going back to it again.   God really blessed him, he always goes straight to the point.  Reading his book has cleared up a number of the misconceptions I have had about being a Christian.  If you like going deep in your devotion time, this author might be for you.

What did everybody think of tonight's discussion.

Hey there it's Kevin, how did everyone's day go.    That was a great discussion about both the atheist friend and about the guy who was formerly a Jain (sorry I can't remember his name)Smile who checked out a megachurch.  read more »

What does it mean to walk with Jesus? Ok, I have had time to think about it now. Days, actually.

Walking with Jesus to me means at least a couple of things:   If I love him, I'll obey him because I love him and not out of obligation.  So now I'm asking myself the question he asked Peter, do I love him.  Do I agapao him with Godly sacrificial love or just phileo him.   To be very honest and I'm ashamed to say, but often I'm struggling just to phileo him, that is, to show him the love of a brother.   I know that walking with him means fulfilling what his heart is asking me, in addition to loving him, and that's to obey him.  I s  read more »

practicing what I preach

I liked the discussion about how to reach someone who does not believe, that was very provocative.   I read somewhere that one of the best ways is to minister by how we live our lives.  This is an area in which I personally struggle a lot because oftentimes my life does NOT line up with what I preach.  And you know what?  We can also minister to fellow Christian friends in this way, too.  Perhaps that is a good place to start.    One friend I know in particular ministers to me in this way, and I try to do the same for him.   He and I both like to shop, and we both have impulsive  read more »
