Here is blunt but pithy thought from a friend who recently returned from Africa. Here in the bubble I stay out of trouble, from Aids, hunger, and war. They die...
Hi, everyone. I just started the first NKOC book, so I am waaaay behind in the discussion of the newer trilogy books. I will probably lurk awhile until I get...
Thank you, Celeste. I just finished NKOC today, and am so stirred that I am almost without words. Although I feel the things brought up in the book have been...
Hi Anita - this list has been a bit quiet recently: we got about half way through Brian's third book and ground to a bit of a stand-still. It would be ...
Hi David- Since there is downtime to spare, I will share a few of my reactions and responses to NKOC. First, I have no problem with the "no hell" thoughts ...
Maybe, it is time I start reading those books again. It has been a year since I have been to church and I only live 20 miles From Cedar Ridge Community...
I must warn you that you will see things in a new light, if you go to a mainstream Christian church. I went to church on Easter with my little girl, and she...
This is a sad irony and maybe speaks more about myself than the church, but having been a christian for 17 years now, I find that I put on a mask that hides my...
Was cedar ridge your community or do you just mention that church because of it's association with this group? I know if i lived 20 miles from there id be...
Like you say - there is no turning back! I used to go to a mainstream church twice every Sunday plus house group on a Weds etc. Now I go once every six months,...
I said it may say more about me. Funny that you mention community. Yeah, I would say that they are my community. I would also consider my community to be a...
Brian talks about ways of experiencing God in another book, I believe, Finding Faith. I think there were 6 and one was through nature--I definitely fall into...
I find nature the best way for me too. I enjoy climbing in the evenings and then sitting in a high place listening to the silence and watching the sun go down....
worship inducing indeed!! ... I find nature the best way for me too. I enjoy climbing in the evenings and then sitting in a high place listening to the silence...
I've had an interesting time of late regarding worship. From my conversion to now I've attended fairly "evangelical" style churches, including a house church...
Hi Sylvia. Okay, here's the thing; I'm a pretty paranoid guy in many ways, and I would hate to hurt people in the church who have been so great over the years....
Hey Bill, that is fine, no need to say more. Your description pretty much sums up what I experience myself. albeit on another continent. I sometimes wonder why...
Bill & Sylvia, Ironic about the timing of your comments. Our Saturday morning men's group just began reading a book entitled "Rethinking the Wineskin" which...
The house church experience was very valuable in many ways. I've often thought it would be a great training ground for anyone interested in the ministry....
I too have had the benefit of many forms and styles of worship. Being raised a Baptist and then attending an Episcopal church for two years in college was a...
This is a problem the world over. A few months ago I received an email from the UK (i'm in Riga) asking would i like to get involved in a new potential church...
So what is that; some kind of hang over from all the fuss following 1517, I suppose? Amazing how stuff like that gets passed down the line isn't it? B To:...
Ok. It is an interesting novel, and there are some wonderful scenes of dialogue and ideas being exchanged, but I had a hard time reading it in places because...
Hi Anita, which sensitivities do you need hassling? I’m sure we can help… ;-) Thx David ... From: NKOC@yahoogroups.com [mailto:NKOC@yahoogroups.com] On...
Anita, Maybe you've got that wonderful mother/daughter thing going. I am trusting that my wife has it going with my two daughters (14 & 12 years old). I...
