    Questions about my calling

    Obviously, some are called to be teachers; it sounds as if you are one of them. For me, teaching can be a pitfall which keeps me from fellowship; it's too easy for me to get lost in books, semantics, and knowledge and sort of idolize academia. It doesn't sound as if that's the case with you...

    Christian landlord defeats politically correct law! A victory over persecution.

    ...much like your reaction toward "prophet," it seems "evangelism" has very negative connotations for you; yet, you outline evangelism just fine by saying that one should let actions speak. I think it's a combination of the two, but, like James, I also think faith without works is dead, and so...

    Christian landlord defeats politically correct law! A victory over persecution.

    Self-appointed prophets, perhaps -- but "vindictive prophet" is a phrase that shouldn't really being operative under a genuine prophetic anointing. Jonah nothwithstanding. :)

    Christian landlord defeats politically correct law! A victory over persecution.

    It's not like the refusal couldn't be made lovingly and with discretion.... but I could imagine God using someone in the stern-prophet mode also, rebuking the homosexual couple. I believe strongly in relational evangelism, but I think there is evangelism in just putting one's foot down as...

    Christian landlord defeats politically correct law! A victory over persecution.

    ...I found my notes, if you or anyone else is interested. From early on, God intimates that the world will end Gen 3:14 - Gen 3:15 (NIV) 14 So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on...

    Christian landlord defeats politically correct law! A victory over persecution.

    If you believe scripture is authority, there are plenty of places where you can read what sins are against God. I compiled a huge list one time when I was researching things like judgment and judgment day, and there's tons of stuff. I was leading a Bible study, and the guys wanted to study...

    Punks in the Church....what are you're thoughts?

    I still think it comes down to the heart, and that delicate balance of living freely in the Spirit and not causing others to stumble. For instance: some of the piercings these days... well, to me, it's a violent act toward the self, and also against society (deliberately trying to make those...

    Favorite worship song

    I forgot "Holy and Anointed One"! That became a favorite one Christmas. I was in the church by myself on Christmas Day, at the altar, askinging God what He'd like for His birthday. I thought he wanted me to sing Happy Birthday, so I did, and then it went straight into the chorus for Holy and...

    Favorite Composer?

    I have to go with Bach. But, yes -- Beethoven is a close second. His late quartets alone are incomparable. I also really like Greig and Mahler.

    Favorite worship song

    Boy... there are so many songs to choose from! The ones that I sing in the Spirit most easily, whatever my condition, are probably Let Your Glory Fall Shout to the Lord Holy, Holy, Holy Power of Your Love It is Well ...my all-time favorite is probably Amazing Grace.

    Indian classical music

    ...for some reason I've been really enjoying Indian classical music. There's a great album called Gathering Rain Clouds by Vishwa Mohan Bhatt that's really blowing me away, and I got a CD by U. Srinivas that's very good. I'm not noticing any funky-bad spirit about this stuff (I know some CDs...

    Favorite Planet?

    I was going to be clever and say Mozart's Jupiter symphony. :)

    Advice-Getting involved in new church

    Yes, yes -- pray and be very certain where you are being led. Your boyfriend may well need to honor his mother by attending her church; that's something else for you both to pray about. Very important, and how you encourage him to honor his mother (perhaps even by attending a church which...

    Punks in the Church....what are you're thoughts?

    Absolutely. Sometimes I get blindsided by my own prejudice: tatoos kind of bother me, but so do people who are just entirely too coiffed (I think that's the word I want). I have to set my heart right as soon as I feel a knee-jerk response. A fellow was brought to me last week for counseling...
