I have not been on this board for a while. Actually, years. Actually my info says last log in was 2007 - seems a long time! I was hoping to find people who knew what life with FMS was about; and be Christians at the same time. I read a little of the posts on the thread and I hope I am not doing...

Hm im not sure Pollyanna did that ;) But i see your point;... then again, ive stated the same thing a few times maybe I need a cool picture too. Jaki

I don't think it is a matter of being disqualified, i do think that if you have a pastor who has issues with money - they need to have measures in place to protect against that temptation, why should sexual sin be any different to any other issue? We should have measures in place to protect...

So would you let your kids be in his class, alone with him? Or would that be doing what Paul suggested, and putting temptation in his path; tempting a brother you know full well has issues in the past and may still be tempted in? God forgives, Satan excels at making people re-live the past...

Agree :) and it leads me to say: Our God is an amazing God, knowing how we are wired... and using that to talk to us. Jaki

The only problem is... Genuine worship can lead me to tears. Genuine worship can lead me to jump for joy. Genuine worship can lead me to be quiet. God isn't devoid of emotion, why should our worship of him be? Genuine worship.... isn't about me, its about where God has taken me. What I am seeing...

That is a very good post :) To be careful, is not being judgmental... if I was to say 'so and so sinned and is therefore evil and can no longer be anything but evil' that would be judgmental. Jaki

God does speak through emotions (some people tell me so) however I seriously doubt I am ever going to mix the two things up - I am not exactly the emotional type. I also wonder if this is something that a Church needs to define and figure out for themselves, Biblically speaking, rather than...

That image is the very image God uses to speak to me often. Im really pleased it conveyed itself to you in this poem. Bless. Jaki

I didn't say conduct, i meant the person in the pew. When I was leading, i held to conventions expected of a leader. In a church where it has oft been said that we should worship as we are led. We should not be consumed by the fear that someone is watching us. We should be honest and real -...

Certainly I can, this one came when I was feeling particularly distant and not able to hear God if that makes sense. It was a great comfort. I keep all my writings lol and sometimes looking back they hit me differently. I hope this one blesses someone else too :) Anyhow...As requested: In The...

Why does a persons experience of the Church service come from 'what others perceive'? Why is it we care what the people up the front might see or what someone behind us might think? For me, I attend a loud, very charismatic and Biblical based church, which is Pentecostal in name and nature...

I was firstly cleaning the kitchen, and secondly sorting out all the bookmarks that firefox decided to lose completely.. ho hum. Jaki

I think that is the point where we use our God-given intelligence and sensibilities, to put into place boundaries which would protect both him (cause not your brother to fall into sin) and anyone who might be hurt via the circumstances should he do so. This would in in ANY situation, not just...

I think you might be right in that God speaks to us according to where we are at and what we do. He speaks our language so to speak. For me, I find He speaks to me through poems (things I write) and sometimes through ideas and thoughts for stories, as well as through images/visions and His word...

I watched a documentary on Billy Graham, and he too had one thing going in his sermon style that I think is awesome. He speaks the gospel. Every time he opened his mouth. To world leaders, to poor people - what comes out is the Gospel of Christ. I aspire that my voice might be of use for...

Thankyou for replying :) Do you think the same would work for a plastic bin? Jaki
