Wasting time is what the guy with the one talent did by not investing his talent in profitable endeavors.
We have all been given the gift of life and some talent.
How are you using that gift for the Profit of others?
Christianity was called The Way because Christians were living by following that way taught by the prophets which included a vast network of ministers of small congregations. Read More
Out of Africa Daniel on the Africa group made a point that stirred something I wanted to share.
Many on the email groups are not a part of the network and they certainly are not in conformity with Christ, have not repented and are not saved. They are under a strong delusion. read more
Other Dear Network
Overcoming our Addiction to sin. The gospel of the kingdom called us to seek the kingdom of heaven and the righteousness of God.
The righteousness of God requires that you love God enough to let the light and life of Christ into your hearts and and His truth into your minds but habits of thinking keep taking us astray... read more
Curing or healing all Cancers
We have done a three hour show on Healing all cancers.
Physical, political, religious, social and Spiritual
Cancer "is a term used for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues."
While the word cure "is defined relieve (a person or animal) of the symptoms of a disease or condition" the word heal means "to cause (a wound, injury, or person) to become sound or healthy again." So do you want to be cured or healed? Read more...
Legal marriage and alternative contracts
Legal matrimony contracts
Someone on Facebook in and argument about same sex marriage and the need for a marriage license with the state pointed out that there should be no need for the States permission. Some were sympathetic but said "but a 'legal' marriage comes with many benefits. Being able to see your dying spouse in the hospital, inheritance, child care, etc. I dig the sentiment, but the realities we face are a little different." Read more...
Congregations of Rebuke
Congregations of Loving Rebuke
People who do not love the truth will hesitate to speak the truth. And the truth is people who do not love their neighbor will not speak the truth to their neighbor. The early Church like Israel were an outspoken direct people. They were men of action and responsibility. They worked well together because they sought to serve the God of truth and they had no alternative but to work together because the only government, the only Welfare and Defense they had was a voluntary one.
Modern Christians gather to feel right or good. They have little or no Daily ministration and they think it is love if we just all get along. They shy away from real personal and social controversy and often make a big deal about minor hermeneutics, straining at gnats but often swallowing camels.
A Congregations of Love is a Congregations of Rebuke if our rebuke is born of love of God and our fellowman. ...Read more
Christ came to Save others. The early church saved millions of lives during the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. That Church was doing what Christ said to do.
Biting one another is not something Christians would do but something only zombies do right?
We would not do that kind of cannibalistic practice or maybe we do but just do not want to admit it. Are werewolves, vampires and zombies real? To vampires he the meat of their fellowman when his blood is still in it.
Who are they and are they dangerous? Are they really peaceful or through their apathy actually the source of evil in the world?
Cure the problem not the symptom
Why are people trying to hide the evidence of sin rather than repenting and deal with the real problem which is their own heart and mind issues?
At the time when Jesus, who was the Christ, came preaching that the people should repent and seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness people were making excuses about having to do other things first and Jesus called them dead. Have you been making excuses too? Read Why we gather.
How would we answer
If someone wanted to do a story on the people of the network and said "It’s all about the unique lifestyles and objectives or destinations or businesses of the [the people], and how their faith in God is leading them to do what they’re doing."
How would we answer them?
My answer might be something like this
