I pray just about anywhere... its all good... but I love to go to my church when there's no one else around - like getting to youth group an hour early when there are a couple people downstairs but that's it... then I go up the the top of the balcony in the back of the sanctuary... that pew has...

haha... liturgy at a vineyard... that'd be... interesting... In my own personal devotions, though, I have an anglican rosary that I use every now and again... I find the repetition to be incredibly relaxing and often when I'm really stressed out, that's where I find peace... and I've found...

AMEN!!! :amen: :clap:

It's always sad when people throw the proverbial "baby out with the bathwater"... Just because you've had some bad experiences doesn't mean that every charismatic church is bad... My experience (and I've been in the Charismatic movement for 4 or 5 years now) has never involved anything as odd...

The Church is the universal fellowship all who claim Jesus Christ as their saviour - Baptist, Pentecostal, Episcopal, Methodist, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, or WHATEVER, they're all part of THE SAME BODY. There isn't really a set system or user's guide "choosing" one over the other... Really, it's...

Eh? Every calendar I've looked at has passover as this week, ending this coming sunday... :confused:

That probably wasn't meant literally... Even if it was, don't let one person's remark make you think that the community "around here" doesn't have respect for holiness... that would be a far cry from reality, and an insult to many... As for making your own holy oil, I don't really know to be...

~whines a little~ I don't get to go do anything for Passover this year, I don't think... I sent a card to a couple of my friends who actually celebrate it, but other than that, nothing... I even slipped and ate a piece of bread :blush: (But only one so far ;) ) ... I did make matzo ball soup...

:clap: :clap: :clap: :thumbsup: I love it!!! :D ~ad

:wave: It has been a little bit, hasn't it? Good to be back... :D :hug:

I want to share with all of you a fun little thing God did for me today... During Bible class at school (my last class before lunch), my teacher went off on a nice long tangent about how we should be out loving those who no one else loves - not just staying in the safety of our churches...

No thanks... I wouldn't call a believer in reincarnation a "non-christian" or try to convince them that such a belief would 'loose their salvation' (but then, that's just not something I do ;) ), but I don't buy it... Though, admittedly, the position doesn't so much come from a throrough...

I'm reading Blue Like Jazz, nonreligious thoughts on christian spirituality, by Donald Miller... It's an excellent book! If you haven't read it, go get it... It's a collection of this guy's essays & thoughts about Christian spirituality... He's completely honest and blunt about his struggles...

There are several that I really enjoy... At the moment (It changes every now and again), I'd say my favourite is "Here Is Love"... I love this song!

:D Congrats on the milestone...

I think we're making too big of a deal out of it, but that's just my humble opinion... I'll keep my liberal little mouth shut...

First of all, no such thing as a dumb question... secondly, the term "charismatic", to my knowledge, doesn't have very strict qualifications... though, you're right, the divine liturgy you're used to is probably more-than-slightly different than the typical "charismatic" worship service... We...

I'd like to think so... generally, I've found that when God asks for some of my money, I'm not bad about giving back to him... but then I've never been in a position of that much wealth... I like the idea of a bank account acquiring intrest for me to live off of... I know that the first thing I...

So as a Pentecostal living by Gardiner, do you go to the Oregon City Assembly of God? That's pretty close to you, right? I visited there a couple times...

Yeah, I know where that is... I have a good friend who lived right around there for several years (her family still lives there, but she moved out when she turned 18)... I used to walk down there from my house during the summer and we would spend the day walking around in Chapin Park... ah, good...
