The jury in out on what is "sound doctrine" in this 21st centrury of the Church of Jesus Christ. It is an important question. I see you as being equipped and positioned to answer that question.<BR/><BR/>Rick Warren is probably promoting good and doing God's will in Lake Forrest with his 2100 small groups and their "2100 African villages." <BR/><BR/>But the purpose and future of the "Church" itself is at stake in the world. Is sound doctrine "feel good," "do good?" What is God's will for the "Church." What is woman's position in the Pristhood, and what do we do with Paul's teaching on that subject? The 21st Century, your Century, will either re-interpret the New Testament or lay it aside after 2000 years. The people that flock to "Rick's Warren" are ignorant;- either of the Bible's teaching concerning their life styles or of the society in which they live. .... These are mutually exclusive 'doctrines' and no resolution is being offered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1128970282974973172005-10-10T11:51:00.000-07:002005-10-10T11:51:00.000-07:00Hi (emerging from lurkdom)--Martin Smith preached ...Hi (emerging from lurkdom)--<BR/><BR/>Martin Smith preached at the funeral of a bishop who committed suicide in Massachussetts and said something I will always remember (I read it in a collection of his sermons), paraphrasing here: Jesus gave us something to do when it feels like there's nothing we can do. Do this in remembrance of me.<BR/><BR/>I believe liturgy of the people on behalf of the people of the whole world is the most important thing we do. But if it doesn't drive us out into the world to do the other things, then it's not good liturgy.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16102818359680439197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1128968366544891262005-10-10T11:19:00.000-07:002005-10-10T11:19:00.000-07:00If you want to be a doer and help people, then by ...If you want to be a doer and help people, then by all means proceed, but keep in mind that you are but one person. If you complete your studies and go out into the world to preach what God commands us to do, then you can encourage MANY OTHER PEOPLE to do much more than you could do alone. I know many good Christian people that have a hard time understanding that the neighbor they need to love is not just the one sitting in the pew next to them on Sunday mornings. From what I've read on your blog, you have much to offer the world. I pray that you will receive the inspiration that you seem to request.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
