    Observing Sabbath

    I worship on Sunday and no I don't observe a Sabbath where I don't work. That is Old Testament law and I am not under law, but under grace

    Why Americans go to church

    So, you really think that those who went to the temple or go to church now just go to worship God? Some people go for social reasons or to network with people for business, some go for fellowship with others or do to social works. Or go for other reasons.

    discipleship

    the disciplines that you mentioned such as repentance and prayer are all individual disciplines to be sure, but that is not what I was talking about. I am talking about one member who is older and more mature mentoring and disciplining a younger member or new believer. A program in the church...

    "Reclaimed and recycled" or "new creatures"?

    We were lost and were found, but we are also new creations as you mentioned. The idea of recycled is really not appropriate in my opinion

    went out to eat last night at a steak place and had a good meal. I usually pick the same things, but I picked a dish I had never tried before. It was a baked chicken with a cream of some kind on it and tomato and green peppers and corn. It was quite spicy The movie choices at the theater don't...

    Are your sermons long?

    Yeah, I think that was me. He actually wasn't my pastor. I heard him once in person and once online. I think a sermon over 30 minutes is excessive since most people's attention spans are not that long. At the church I currently go to the pastor keeps it to about 25 minutes or so.

    Church peer pressure does it happen to you?

    I'm not a member of a church and haven't been for about 11 years now. There is a non denominational church that seems very rigid in its beliefs and it did stop fellowship with a few people a year or so ago and that caused some controversy. The pastor seems really sensitive to any criticism...

    discipleship

    When I was a kid I was in the Methodist church and we had a confirmation class in the 3rd grade. I can't remember how many weeks it went. I did it because everyone else was doing it and don't actually remember much about it. The pastor did have to ask me my name before he baptized me after...

    discipleship

    We are all working through three booklets together. We signed a commitment at the first week. So, others have the right to ask us if we are working in our books, having our quiet times and if we stop showing up to the group they have a right to say something to us.

    discipleship

    I started going to a men's group last Wednesday night. We are studying this material that starting talking about the building blocks of discipleship. In it, the material mentions that the group members are holding each other accountable to have a quiet time regularly. I learned fairly early...

    Those icky Christians!

    Most of my clients will self identify as christians even if they don't go to church. I think it is because they see the lack of maturity in the church and that most believers aren't much different than the world. Which is true

    Approaching non-believers with patient dialog

    I look for opportunities where I can to share my faith and what i am learning, but I try not to shove a door open that isn't open. I mentioned Jesus to one of my clients recently quoting a verse and was told that she is Buddhist. But, she didn't have any comment about the verse I shared.

    Are liberal colleges a threat to Christians

    No. I don't think that would cause me to stop. But, my kids are grown and it is their decision where to go to school.
