What is God if He is not

What is God if He is not more than I can imagine, perceive, or assimmilate?  I do not know, but since He is more than all the above, I must have faith to accept Him at His Word.  His Word is written severally in nature, in my mind and heart, and in scripture.  These facets of His Word will harmonize in a beautiful, mystical, edification.  His Word is creative, accretive, regenerative.   His Spirit is nurturing, forgiving, encouraging.  His Essence is All knowing, Ever Present, All Powerful.  He is God.

soitenly

'Soitenty'(sic) is one of those words that you can be absolutley sure  is in somebodyelse's dictionary(it is not in mine).   Somebodyelse always knows fershoor.  But in my own mind and heart my body plugs along hopefully.  My soitency being just personal enough, and my faithlessnes just strong enough, that I know fershoor I, maybe not you,  "work my faith out in fear and trembling".   Soitenly!  nyert nyert nyert...

Why Ichabod Crane was convinced to outrun his horse

The Baptist (c)onvention(sic) has participated if not led the fastest and largest growth of the Christian church in all but perhaps its inceptual history, and now throes and convulses in light of a changing need of those very presbytery on which it depends. As stated there before by Dr D @ aintsobad the post-modern is a tough sell to make by the one glomming onto the materiale of the past. The day of ushering in the new prospects to replace the flustered and weary is waning at a 'late modern techno' rate. The new day rests on the ability of leadership to understand Rev 22:10-11HCSB He also said to me, "Don't seal the prophetic words of this book, because the time is near. Let the unrighteous go on in unrighteousness; let the filthy go on being made filthy; let the righteous go on in righteousness; and let the holy go on being made holy.", which I believe to say that we cannot change others, we can only change ourselves while encouraging those about us by dehypocracising our words and deeds through becoming sacrfice to our neighbors and stepping stones to our brothers, thereby honoring God with His purview and fruits.

rebut to the Emerging Church...

Do any of St Patrick's Conclaves still exist? Why or why not?

To volunteer or to contract...

If I do something purely by heart and without deopendance upon remuneration thence, can I be expected to do that something in a better and more complete way than if I am trained and employed and committed by contract and material need to do so?

The Emerging Community of Believers and their Mission

St Patrick's strength may have been his "conclaved" community of believers, today's world calls many of those kind of physical communities cults. But today's technology gives us an opportunity to build a new kind of 'community'. Physical constraints are falling away into less invasive but perhaps more personal channels of communication.

We, at Shadow Hills in Lubbock, have just started a (Connections) Mission Moment, where someone with a recent opportunity to be 'Jesus Walking' outside the four walls is given a five minute pulpit on Sunday Morn. We are hoping the examples set become more and more ensamples so that at a point in time we have more folks hoping to share their 'Jesus Walking' experiences as we have wanting to make a special music presentation.

What sort of resources are able to attend to these kind of grass roots attitude adjustments which seem like they could, and dare I say ought, to be a good part the emerging church?

Whether to destroy it, build it, or just hang onto it...

,,,is the very thing I have been trying to arrange, in just such a way in my own thinking so that it make sense to me, that I, as the Temple of God, and the Church as the Body of Christ, withal that that connote, so approach life from its forebearance, through its currency and into even its legacy that those worthy items of its forebearance be found in my great grandniece's and nephew's heritage while allowing them to be, as I was, contemporary to their own generation.

So I think I agree in general, but may repectfully disagree in specification...I just can't quite tell.

Some icons might be useful to me and others not, but that would in no way guarantee their effectiveness or lack thereof to you, or some(any)one else.

There are some things, sans divine intervention, which can only be handed down from generation to generation, if not father to son, then by some suitable if subtle set of surrogates without a direct and critical drought of correlary derivative. Some things on the other hand were better never thunk much less did!


But I was raised outside the bounds of modern('Big D') civilisation, out in W Tex, where farming is still king, and football theory is being and changed and those new ideas we sent to the metropoli are being revised to again conform to the origianl thema with which they were intended, oftentimes embracing the new tech with which they have been imbued along the way.
