Comment on Are we a “grace” fellowship? by Kiley

Yep… I think that the Sword of the Spirit still has it’s amazing cutting power! We are a people who have been shown tremendous grace! Why do we have such trouble doing the same??? We who have been forgiven much, ought to love much! God is so patient and long-suffering toward us. May we continue to press toward the high and upward calling of Jesus Christ! (rather than get bogged down by the mucky slime of this world which is passing away). Lord, Let us become known in our community as loving, transparent, and gracious.

I can honestly say I never thought of it that way. So would spoiling my ballot be like, “I don’t need you and your lies you hypocritical false “saviors”. Get behind me!”?

Thank you Murray. The thing I wonder about is if people are “secretly hurting”… Why is it that it is easier for some to share their burdens, worries and concerns with people outside of Grace Fellowship rather than within it? Do we present ourselves as hard, judgemental and uncaring? My self examination is about whether I “talk” grace, kindness and gentleness, but if others see something else in my life that hinders them from being willing to share. Is my love for the family shallow, so that in reality I am more important to myself than others are important to me. I hope that as I examine myself, both as an individual and as part of Grace Fellowship, that I will not find this to be the case, but if I do,that my attitude will be one of immediate repentance.
I do want to say to you my brothers and sisters, that I have love for each of you. Please help me if I am blind to my own sins. I long to be more like Christ, and I long for Grace Fellowship to be a community of grace.

OUCH! Yup! This needs more than just a quick glance; it needs some serious self examination done with a humble and repentant heart. It feels to me that we can and perhaps do lean on the performance side a little too often. I suppose it is part of the temptations of this world.
But whatever the cause, may we strive, through prayer and self examination, to be a community of Grace.

Comment on Video from Total Church Conference by jan

Hey Murray!
We watched this together on Tuesday with our missional community group. Because we have gone thorough the Total Church book together this summer, the flow of Steve’s message resonated very strongly! Even our new family, who only got in on the “general review” of the book and the last chapter were impacted by the video.
Thank you for linking it! Will you link another? Or should we try to find the next on line? We were all in agreement that we would benefit from seeing the conference videos- then we can have sort of “been there” with you and Mike and Sammy, and we will be familiar with what you guys heard!
Thanks again!
Jan

Comment on Evangelism by Murray McLellan

In the article, Rob is not talking about the various means of building relationships and getting involved in our community. He is discussing turning natural conversations towards Christ in existing relationships. You have some good ideas for networking though, Mike.
