Hi everyone: I keep getting asked to recommend good churches in various parts of the country that are open to discussing the kinds of themes that are explored...
... Plenty of THESE around my part of the country. ... Sorry, you've just eliminated all of them. STEPHEN: TCPC (http://www.tcpc.org) keeps a list of...
I previously posted similar to this on FF website, and wasn't aware of NKOC, so here goes again. My brother has always been supportive and close to me; however...
Interesting question, Denny... It probably just boils down to whether or not you like hanging out with these folks. If you're just going to make your brother...
I would tend to agree with Russ. It's not about "I'm right and you guys are wrong", because in this issue, we're talking about "Christians", at least ...
Denny said, ... RE: Hi Denny, Many churches are welcoming to visitors. Unless the preaching is so God awful offensive then I don't think their should be a...
... DENNY: What is the FF website? Thanks, Tim p.s..., Does anyone know whether discussion of NKOC is going to continue in one form or another? I have read...
www.findingfaith.org is the website built around Brian's previous book "Finding Faith" published by Zondervan. It's basically a portal into information about...
I've posted this thought to another email list, but I've really gotten no bites on it for discussion. Maybe I'm on a rabbit chase - I don't know. But...
Rick, This is certaintly an interesting question! I really don't think we can recreate the first church experience in the same way it happened in Acts. The...
Thanks, Todd - Your points are right up the alley of where my mind's been going, and they're more concise than mine would ever be 8^). I don't necessarily...
I thought this was an interesting question, too, and I liked Todd's insights on the matter. I think that there's a lot to be said for geographical proximity....
Rick, It is very difficult to do but I have seen a church in Texas called pantego bible church (www.pantego.org) who are trying to function this way. I have ...
Rick-- I've been racking my brain with similar questions. Since the church has a consumer mindset, what would better foster community? The only thing that...
Todd, What you said really spurred some things in my mind. I believe that a big problem that churches and pastors (church administrators or ceo's) fight is the...
Tim, I finished reading NKOC several months ago, but never really processed with other people that have different perspectives than me. I'm leading a group...
... I'm sorry, Tim. I skated right past that post. As the moderator, I've noticed that these groups sort of have a life that comes and goes, but how a group...
... RUSS: You're right, of course. I've never done it before, though, so LOOK OUT! Could be the year's biggest bore... ... ROTFLMAO! Tonight, that was a...
I assume from your name that you play golf???? Where do you live??? ... You'll be fine...just dig in and ask questions. There's supposed to be a study guide...
... RUSS: I really enjoy playing golf. But I don't play often anymore. The game has always struck me as a virtuoso in the sports world in its mimicry of life...
... RUSS: Thanks for the book recommendation. It is on my list. Do you play golf. Russ? I actually worked very hard in the early 90's to get my handicap low ...
Well, just my two cents (or sense <grin>)...my question would be if there is anything in this church that would *require* you to break fellowship. If not, then...
... well...using the word "play" would be way out of line after hearing your story...;) I've been playing about a year. My wife gave me some lessons for our...
ALL: I have approached Russ about doing the book a third time, but he doesn't have the time right now. That's too bad because, as you all already know, and a...
Hi, Tim - I'd say go for it. While I can't "commit" to the conversation either, I'm sure a few of us might chime in from time to time, and there are probably ...
I'll be happy to lurk in the background and see what happens. My plate is pretty full these days, but will probably slow down a bit after Easter. Either way,...
... RICK: Thanks for your comments. I plan on going for it, as you say. The more "formal" invitation-oriented posting is due to the fact that I did invite...
Wow, Tim - that's a great story of having your eyes opened. And "recreating that event here" - where others might have their eyes opened to it, too? - is...
