“Although the scribes could explain where the Messiah should be born, they remained quite unperturbed in Jerusalem. They did not accompany the Wise Men to seek him. Similarly we may know the whole of Christianity, yet make no movement. The power that moved heaven and earth leaves us completely unmoved. What a difference! The three […]
Out of Church Christians
——————————————————————————– http://www.early-church.com/ THE “OUT-OF-CHURCH” CHRISTIANS -by Andrew Strom. This was the article that started it all.

Giving God more room to move
From a Baptist pastor-friend : In all our communication and efforts to relate with those whose church links may be more remote than rigorous, we are acting on prayer power to activate our people.

From a netfriend: My wife and I were recently on vacation, and being strangers in a strange land, we sought out a place to worship while there. We picked a place that, judging by the name, seemed safe enough. But the service started out with a thumping worship band playing some up-beat pep rally songs. […]
