We think we are getting more access to God's teachings (electronically) when in reality we aren't being exposed to what He really wants us to learn (while attending/going physically to church).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16790134.post-81441046599370090812007-01-31T10:54:00.000-05:002007-01-31T10:54:00.000-05:00Good stuff...

When I read this,...I appreciate Paulie's comments. When I read this, I also thought, a virtual church does not give you <b>the opportunity to be wronged... and to rightly respond</b> to it. I know that's not the kind of thing you would put on a flyer promoting attendance, but it's probably a tool God uses in the church to mature His children.<br /><br />Isn't that a message in Hosea? God has been wronged by His bride, yet continues to love her. The story is beautifully illustrated by the prophet and Gomer.Craver Viihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882284402568264182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16790134.post-31399511384604273152007-01-31T09:55:00.000-05:002007-01-31T09:55:00.000-05:00J.D.

Did I read somewhere that your church is Baptist? <br /><br />I am PCA Presbyterian, but probably agree more with reformed Baptists.jazzycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16720471765591930568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16790134.post-32735914748356622232007-01-31T00:54:00.000-05:002007-01-31T00:54:00.000-05:00I am completely serious...I realize that this site...I am completely serious...I realize that this site gets many visits from all over the world, and some from oppressed or unchurched countries...<br /><br />IF YOU NEED BIBLES OR SOMEONE TO PLANT A CHURCH, PLEASE CONTACT ME!!! <br /><br />Jesus loves you, and so do I...may God shine His Light upon you...Even So...https://www.blogger.com/profile/14208866122431178938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16790134.post-52281888586307892007-01-31T00:49:00.000-05:002007-01-31T00:49:00.000-05:00If you are in a foreign country and there is no ch...If you are in a foreign country and there is no church, I am not really addressing you, but pray that God would send people to you, and start a church...let me know if this is any of you, WE WILL get someone to you...if you can get this message, we can find you...use the email in my profile page to contact me...until then I hope these messages are helping you grow in the Lord...Even So...https://www.blogger.com/profile/14208866122431178938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16790134.post-11071910504728729692007-01-31T00:39:00.000-05:002007-01-31T00:39:00.000-05:00He truly has, Paul...He truly has, Paul...Even So...https://www.blogger.com/profile/14208866122431178938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16790134.post-86047052570635373432007-01-30T23:17:00.000-05:002007-01-30T23:17:00.000-05:00Boy, Wow, Ok... Speaking as one who has done the I...Boy, Wow, Ok... Speaking as one who has done the Internet church as well as the chat room church, I can tell you there is no replacement for being with flesh and blood Christians. I had spent more than a year in chat rooms under the heading of Christian before I met my wife and got involved with church type groups online as well. I have also done the, no church at all thing!<br /><br /> I tell you the truth sometimes there are (some) good things in those venues other than the no church at all. The problem is there is always something missing, the ability to get on your knees with another blood bought saint and holds hands and pray, or hug or cry with. <br /><br />Sure those in churches outside of the internet still have their problems but they are the only way you can truly find what God is wanting for you. <br /><br />As far as coming back to the church, yeah, I know its tough to get yourself to go the first time. Knowing that everyone will be all over you and hugging and asking you where you have been. That is surely going to happen, you can expect that. Because they love you! Because they have been praying for you! (Because they were praying for me) But I can also tell you the second week it will be easier to go back, it will be easier for you when everyone wants to hug you. The hardest part is the first time, but truthfully, it wasn't all as hard as Satan wanted me to think it was. <br /><br />What JD has written on this subject has fit me too a tee. That’s the only reason I can take up all this room on his comments. He was one of those who were praying for me. He was one of those who hugged me when I came back. He was one of those who were worried about me. <br />And I don't think I ever thanked you JD, So...... Thank you and Lord bless you!One Sheep's Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775664062266994974noreply@blogger.com
