Rumblings

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , on October 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

One person we know embedded in our former church recently wrote online that he was disappointed with a meeting after asking for prayer days before, and his writings implied a similar situation to ours.  My husband basically sent messages back and forth to him, and it seems he may have similar issues we have had.  [...]

Keeping it in perspective

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , on October 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »

I never want to get pride when it comes to my status in Christ.  Though I see error in our former church and it’s leadership, I also can see myself easily loose focus on Christ and the scriptures.  I can easily see how prideful I could get, how easily hateful.  I question myself often, examine [...]

Remembering the pastor left behind, and others

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , on October 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »

I have not told the pastor left behind more than, “I don’t think we did well in the meeting.”  He would not like to hear how the lead pastor put things, I’m sure.  I don’t know if we should tell him or if there is some sort of confidentiality thing.  I want to be fair, [...]

More People Thinking of Jumping Ship…

Phoned a contact at our former church today to borrow something for my kids.  She noticed we had not been to church for a while, and I told her we are attending elsewhere.  She didn’t ask why, so I didn’t offer much.  She did say they had been mulling things over lately and were considering [...]

Purpose of the Miracles in John…

“Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”
Steve Smith lists Dallas Willard as a mentor, and [...]

I Went from Sad to Glad…

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on October 22, 2008 | 3 Comments »

I got a phone call from a friend who left our old church a while back.  I asked questions and shared thoughts from the meeting with the pastor.  He made me feel much better in sharing specifically why the pastor was wrong, and could really back it up with scripture on the spot.  Yes folks, [...]

Not agreeing/too much to go through

Posted in Uncategorized on October 21, 2008 | 4 Comments »

Difficult to go into here but the meeting wasn’t a disappointment as we didn’t have expectations.  It came down to the pastor saying he didn’t agree with our assertions.  We didn’t bring a copy of the letter, so therefore, we couldn’t share from it quotes.  I understood his thinking was that we were saying the church didn’t preach the [...]

Walking the neighborhood…

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , on October 20, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Today, I walked my neighborhood for some political campaigning.  One candidate helped me a lot with a bill (it became a law) and I’m happy to help him out (even if it’s hard lugging around my  children while I do it).  I came across a neighbor friend who is also a minister at our old [...]
