In the coming weeks and months, I hope to address some burning questions and express some of my current views on what Christ’s plan is for His church. As I do, I hope you will join in the discussion and help me to formulate a constructive argument for my own views and concepts of church, which I expect may change as a result of your input. You can begin now to share your own experiences, good or bad, pleasant or disappointing with church and church people. In the mean time, please consider also the questions on the Church 101 page and provide any input you may have.
To help kick things off, here are a couple of posts on the subject I discovered today
Church Revitalization Guide 101 Part 1
Church 101 or “It’s about the relationship, stupid”
Thanks for your interest, your input and your visit.

Luke 10:25-37 includes those passages commonly referred to as the story of the Good Samaritan. I believe God regularly tests the quality of our spiritual fruit by placing various circumstances in our paths and observing our reaction. These are to be learning experiences for us.

Am I the foolish one? Is theirs the better way? How can you be the good God of the Bible and let the wicked prosper more than I? Read the rest of this entry »
