Is the emerging church good?

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

Ogyle asks the question:
Hmm, .. the EC is good ?? Essentially, the EC is “change from within”, but the change is corrupt. It’s essentially Hinduism in Christian clothing. The “centering” is achieved by emptying the mind via chanting a “sacred word” over and over for about 20 minutes.

The nature of inspiration

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

I thought a comment by abtruth in one of our threads had a lot in it which would add to some of our discussions here:

Luke 10:1-12

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

There has been a bit of talk in the blogsphere about Neil Cole’s 10:02 prayer meme.
As Jon Reid says:
“For two weeks, I have been practicing the 10:02 prayer meme: to pray Luke 10:2 every day at 10:02 a.m. This is something I got from reading Organic Church. Hamo describes it on his blog, […]

Monday, September 11th, 2006

OK this is a little weird but kinda kitch cool at the same time.
“…concerned that the world’s tiniest critters are being overshadowed by conservation’s big-name pandas and tigers, a rural Anglican church has taken matters into its own hands.

ann coulter disgrace

Monday, September 11th, 2006

“We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. …We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That’s war. And this is war.”
Ann Coulter, “This Is War”; September 12, 2001
Bah - what more can you say than absolute disgrace and a perversion of Christianity.

September 11

Monday, September 11th, 2006

Today marks the fifth anniversary of the attacks in the US on the World Trade Centre.  It happened late in the evening our time and, because we often watch DVDs in lieu of actual TV, I didn’t find out about what had happened until the next morning.  The news came in snippets at the cafe […]

From Ghana with Love

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

A prophet(?) in Ghana, a poor country in Africa, has spoken out against the Churches abuse of Tithing doctrine , and it has caused quite a stir :
“According to him, Hebrews 7:7-10 clearly stipulates that Christians ought to give unto the Lord whole-heartedly and not by force: which the tithe law enjoins Christians to do.

Prophet Nkrumah said most […]
