There was a person named sara, who said :
Redefining My Faith: Check Out This Blog: "Alan Creech has a really interesting blog, that I found linked from a recent post at the What Is Church? weblog. Check out his entry for today. It deals with what a Christian really is. From just browsing the site a little bit, I was impressed."
which lead another to say something, which set me off, and so I blogged a comment, and returned to mine here to post a link to it all (see above, my comments are there, but here too:
Then I wrote sara, as follows:
sara,
see the June 6 http://www.foolishness.net/faith/archives/000143.html link. I found it doing a Google "with all words" Advanced search on "church weblog blog faith"
I hope to see more of you, too, for your thoughts like :
The church needs to learn how to function as a body, and fulfill the calling of Christ to make disciples of all nations. This isn't just talking about getting people to an altar call. It's about showing them a fulfilled life in Christ, that will make them want to know Jesus too.
A lot of people want to insist on the altar call. I myself have had , oh maybe 20 of them. I need more. Until I reach that "fulfilled life in Christ", which will be never, and so I wonder about the neccessity of them, which doesn't mean they aren't good--- they just don't quite get us there -- they , the good ones, at least, can only point us in a direction and let us loose.....like I'm an expert, huh? Just point myself back to the altar , on a variety of personal issues and life callings, and hope that what I hear or see or sense there is God and not me, or both, or , never knowing for sure, just follow it and continualy check the calibration of the journey.
Thanks for being out there - or, wherever "online" is ---- a lot of times its right here, at my desk as felow journey-ers arrive at my screen and a part of them enters my life and I feel a sense of knowing what they do; what you do, what Alan does.
