The Gospel of Jesus

Several writers over the past few years have urged us as believers to see the entire Bible through the lens of Jesus in the gospels. I think this is an important perspective. For several hundred years in the church in the west we have used the teachings of Paul as our lens and tended to view the teachings of Jesus through the lens of Paul and not the other way around. If Jesus is truly God in the flesh then I think that his words and actions should be the grid by which we interpret all other… Continue

In other words, we want to see more than just large numbers of people attending churches - we want to see cultural and sociological changes in our country that would be evidence of people really following the commands of Jesus in their everyday lives.

What does this verse mean?

My training and background tells me that "planting churches" is the most successful way to bring in the harvest. However, in my mind, even after we strip down the "church" to its basic essence without buildings, without paid clergy, without choirs and without programs it still seems to require a certain amount of… Continue

Hey, Bill! I'm glad you enjoy our little newsletter. Sometimes I wonder if anyone ever reads it! I noticed you are planning to go to David's on the 21st. I'm planning to be there, and I'm looking forward to meeting you in person. I can't remember if we've met in person before . . .

Would love to make the deal at David's in Keller, but I am working that morning. I really hope that there will be more outings planned, and intend to plan some with our group... I would enjoy getting to meet you and many others that I have seen on the site here.

Thank you so much for your encouragement -- feeling a bit hung out to dry right now, in the threads...! If you've got a hankering, you can read some stuff by the folks whose conference I just attended: www.presence.tv (got a forum there, too). And, www.pantelism.com

good stuff!

Shalom, Dena
