You are absolutely correct that we need to be careful, the idea is that we are splitting up and choosing churches that we can fit into, and become a part of the community within, so that we can help people do exactly what you stated in your first paragraph. Thanks for the thoughts!

The question you are asking makes it seem like people who aren't 'churched' are more important than people who are churched. But I've found that people who are churched don't know God just as much as people who aren't. The other question it looks like you are asking is: Is it more loving to...

Many many people overlook the fact that the verses quoted to discourage women pastoring actually refer to 'Husband and Wife' not a woman having leadership over any man. But beside that I think we fail to take a serious look at this issue and claim directly that scripture says it's wrong...

Neither, The Kingdom can't be thought of in terms of physical area, or placement. The Kingdom is rather anywhere God is moving and active in people. Remember Jesus says: Luke 17:20-21 Ephesians (2:5-6) states that we are already in Heaven, spiritually, as does Hebrews (12:22). So I would...

So recently my house church stopped meeting on Sundays, we decided to make that time so we can go out into the different churches that are already established in our area and minister to the people we meet in them. This recent shift in our focus has to do with where we see the people in the...

But that doesn't make it okay in God's eyes, and it also doesn't remove the serious Relational problems that come out of being joined with someone, yet not married. Just because the world says it's alright, doesn't mean it's going to be good for you, or your relationships.

I always go back to the Lord's prayer, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven." When I read these words and I remember Jesus saying things like "If I cast out a demon has not the kingdom of God come upon you?"(Para Matt 12:28) I get the picture that we establish...

I have to tell my roomate to clean up after himself consistently :( I just kind of live with it,and sometimes even clean up for him. Push a little give a little, he's a bit knew to not having a mom around though.

Mine came up with 2.3, although there weren't even options for things like not even owning a car.. I think for me, it would be better if the system didn't already put us at a disadvantage.

I have pondered this question when I first began to do a bit if Philosophy. In all reality this line of thinking comes down to the statement, "Reality is what you perceive it to be." Perception of your environment defines what you believe is real. When one asks are other people real? They...

What I'm relaying is an idea that if you are going to a church and they are not building up each member to be able to fulfill God's calling for their life then they are in fact not really operating as a church. So all I see from a 'missional' church is an attempt to function like a real body...

yes the Bible contains prophecies, and points toward Jesus in many places, no the Bible is not 'all about Jesus' The bible is specifically about having a relationship with the one true God. The out of John is precisely what I'm saying. If you teach the bible is the way to understanding you...

Teaching this very thing has led many people astray who simply put their faith in what the words of the bible say yet have no understanding or relationship with the father. On the contrary, the road to eternal salvation begins when one puts their faith in Christ, and likewise has revelation of...

Please name one place in this whole world that would fit the description as morally safe! Really though, the world isn't a moral place and to shy away from 'morally unsafe' places seems like a ridiculous idea. Should we all be hermits for fear that we will go to a morally unsafe area?

I drink with my friends, and family, although I haven't ever been drunk.

Honestly I don't think missional is anything new, much like albion doesn't see the 'emerging church' as necessarily anything new but old things given a new name and attempted in a different fashion. The reason why I suggest this is because Missional is simply putting oneself in a place where...

Haha so true, what's that wisdom statement? "The wise man knows he is not wise." Quite true. You must come to grips with how little you know, and how unwise you are when moving into maturity!
