“If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and earnestly to hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I submit that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is not part of the Christian faith.
Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises [...]
We are at Jesus’ disposal. If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that’s all right, everything is all right. We must say, “I belong to you. You can do whatever you like.” [...]
Shame about the distortion. I must have had the microphone up too loud, or maybe it’s just Seemic.

He was talking about [...]

It’s my turn next. I have to make it good!
As Dave would tell me, “Don’t mess it up”.

The rush for this adventurous community was in getting to be the Church – not just attend it. It was clear church was experienced best when we were in living it, not simply watching [...]
We’re off to Spring Harvest!
Lots of posting when I get back. Promise.
In response to Dave’s question relating to my previous post; Does the Christian faith need “repainting”?
