Sorry all, I've realised I don't really belong here, nobodies fault, not everyone fits in everywhere :) So, peace be with you all and see you when the Lord returns! Mim

The secular view that the truly loving thing is to say that all beliefs are equal - it's amazing how extremely self-loving that view is when you follow it further. I had one woman say to me "Jesus, Allah, Buddha, they're all the same God." I wonder if she would be willing to go to the local...

One of our curates (who is supposed to be on holiday) posted an article about the problem with people just looking to pretty, "feel good" Instagram-type bible verses daily which have no rebuke or proper teaching in them. I thought the picture attached to the article summed it up well:

What does "Continuing Anglican" and other terms mean? Personally I haven't come across them yet. Thanks! Mim

You know what I'm talking about. It's not often a problem, but sometimes, especially after talking to one of the people I'm ministering to who is very confused, and has very little experience of grace (actually, none of them do), I just feel overwhelmingly weary. I generally feel a lot better...

I just finished a book by D A Carson called 'Showing the Spirit' it's a theological book on 1 Corinthians 12-14, and also about the Charismatic v Non-Charismatic views. I thought it was excellent, but Don Carson thinks like me, so maybe I'm biased. Worth a look, though. (Carson tries to look at...

I'm new to this idea - I'm not a dispensationalist but just wanting to ask: I was reading a definition of one type that says basically there was mosaic law, now grace. I agree that Christians are "under grace, not law" but did Jesus not die for the sins of Israel in the past? They were looking...

I think this is one of the best - probably would be very unpopular amongst non-Christians, though! (This and How Deep the Father's Love, I think) When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid...

I don't quite understand the history here - Anabaptists were before the reformation, but the modern Baptist church behaves very much like a reformed church. Anyone know about this?

My testimony is a bit weird, apparently some of this stuff doesn't happen to everybody - I figure it happened to me because I'm so thick God couldn't hammer it into me any other way! Here goes: I have quite the Christian heritage - my great-great-great-great grandfather was William Williams...

For those like me who have been on every medication, I wrote this song for a chuckle when I was in my teens: Oh m'darlin, oh m'darlin Oh m'darlin Clozapine Though the symptoms are decreasing Now me blood cells are in decline Solian and Zyprexa Risperdal, quetiapine None of these pills can...

Firstly, I have childhood onset schizophrenia. It is very severe, and treatment resistant, I was put on a locked ward for the first time when I was 13. I am now 30, I have only had my psychosis under control with medication for 10 months. I appreciate that everyone has a different experience of...

I like the old hymns, this one is a beauty, I recommend looking up the story of the man who wrote it - this song was not written from a place of comfort. When peace like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say It is well, it is...

Actually, I just sent an email to the assistant pastor at my church about this (the head pastor is on holiday after Christmas), but your thoughts would be welcome too. How do you deal with secular belief that says everyone is biased except me, I am completely unbiased, therefore I am always...

My name is Mim, I'm an Evangelical Anglican from Melbourne - I don't know if I'm still just conservative or if I'm a fundamentalist now - I used to just be a Christian! I'd like to join this community, but I also need a little help with something, could someone tell me where it would be...
