Are they accomplishing the mission of the church? The answer to this question is what I'm concerned about. the easir it is for love and trust and acceptance and everything Christ is about to spring out from it the better i9t is. Personally I like the house Church idea, you realy grow to depend on one another in an environment like that, it's a beautiful thing.wellis68https://www.blogger.com/profile/06087588494600746854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11928317.post-1119812721300504972005-06-26T15:05:00.000-04:002005-06-26T15:05:00.000-04:00Danny,You're concerns are mine aswell.

Somehow I can see that many churches don't allow these concepts to drive their structure yet I agree that they are relatively abstract. <BR/><BR/>The everyday conversations we have at church rarely reach deeply enough for the type of healing we need. <BR/><BR/>I believe that relationships are above all a completion of human life, a healing process. How can w structure a church to reach this level? that is very subjective. finding a practical application in a traditional sence would be quite a challenge in universal language. I think if we pause in prayer and meditation over our individual church lives we could probably see where we can fulfill this mission.<BR/><BR/>The broader outward mission would require an obtained healthy level of the inward before being heavily focused on.wellis68https://www.blogger.com/profile/06087588494600746854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11928317.post-1119654078329309212005-06-24T19:01:00.000-04:002005-06-24T19:01:00.000-04:00Good thoughts, Wes.

If you ever had the chance to get a real education, maybe you would be worth paying attention to, but you are not! Forgive me for sounding rude, but get a life man, wake up and realize the truth about this world! What is the church anyway? I don't think you have an understanding of what you are talking about. Maybe if you could see the ignorance by which you live you would be able to say something quasi-intelligent! Well, hope you have a great day...all my love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11928317.post-1119616291435639272005-06-24T08:31:00.000-04:002005-06-24T08:31:00.000-04:00Wes,Sounds like you are talking about living in an...Wes,<BR/>Sounds like you are talking about living in an intentional, practicing community where lines between "church" and "life" are erased, and we live how we ought.
