Good post.

It is a shame that our theology–badly learned and often projected onto some of our undeserving forefathers–has hindered sharing kingdom work with other believers.

What a guy for Jesus! A far cry from the rank and file coC guy of today.

God uses those who are willing to follow his lead, regardless of religious affiliation. What a great post. Thank you. You made my day a little bit brighter and hopeful.

I think every city should have a ministry like that one – I can’t tell you how much spending time with the urban homeless and poor, seeing church members minister to crack addicts and prostitutes – shaped who I am in my faith today.

Great post.

Really beautiful…so many of us “talk the talk” about loving as Jesus/Yeshua asked us to do, yet it’s so easy to set up “conditions” and find convenient rationalizations for doing so. (And, not being a Christian myself, I’m nevertheless not breaking that down into “religious” categories–I think that most, if not all, of us are “guilty” of that, regardless of our beliefs. What an amazing place–a “heaven”, if you will–we would have right here around us and now, if we could all find it within ourselves to love with no “strings attached”, as Yeshua did, and as God does.

Thanks for the wonderful post!
