Simply Church - The Blog of Felicity Dale

Healing through foot washing

Twenty or so of us were gathered in a circle. I don’t even remember how the topic came up. But one of the men at the conference, tears running down his face, repented deeply on behalf of the men in the church for all the wrongs that have been perpetrated against women down through the [...]

Inviting women to join the ranks

I am so grateful for the men who have invited me to co-labor alongside them in groups that have Kingdom significance–not as Tony’s wife, nor as the “token woman,” but in my own right, based on my calling and giftings. The roles of leadership (servanthood) in the church are mostly dominated my males. But God [...]

Contested territory

Some time ago, I watched a fascinating video by Lance Wallnau called Piercing the Veil. Here’s what I understand to be his basic concept. “Once you reach critical mass on a revelation, everyone gets access easily to what was once contested territory.” Up until recently, the idea of women co-laboring alongside men equally has been [...]

Bringing back House 2House Magazine

Before there were books and conferences galore about simple/organic church life, there was a magazine!  And this morning my lovely wife, Felicity, blogs about it.  You can read about it at this link.  What a great opportunity this presents to all of us.

Beloved, I pray that you prosper and be in health. 3 John v. 2

Recently the staff at my company enrolled me in a contest for Austin's Fittest Executive!  (see profile page to help me in my quest)  I guess that they all know that I love playing squash.  But as I looked at the minimum requirements for being involved in this contest, I realized that I can't reach the minimum standard in most of the required exercises.  I have been working on doing push up for the past few months, and I have…

Can Christians show the world how to handle escalating medical costs?

If the "kingdoms of this world are to become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ" then you and I have to take the rule of Jesus out into the world around us.  Isn't the present expression of the kingdom of God wherever we see the uncontested rule of Jesus through his people?  For years I have been challenged by what the medical world would look like if it was being run by Jesus.  A simplistic answer might be that Jesus would just heal everybody.  But that has not been my experience.  I…

Beyond Evangelical - The blog of Frank Viola

The Difference Between Persuasion and Manipulation & Is Business Incompatible with Being a Christian?

Today I interview Ray Edwards. Ray is a Christian businessman – a copywriter by trade. There’s a lot of confusion today among the Christian community on the matters of having a business and the ethics of marketing. I caught up with Ray to ask him some questions about these topics, as he’s a season expert [...]
