Are you standing on The Rock?

@sinbach well put! I can't see the question/comment from the other person. But I can guess what it's about from your response. This is what I so much appreciate in your writings! You see the bigger picture. And you see different perspectives (without compromising your own beliefs). I know where you stand when it comes to Christian morals, but at the same time you are capable of defending people of other moral views and religions, just because they are humans and loved by God (but deceived, and haven't found the Way and the Truth). Yesterday I had a student participating in course on Zoom. He had a yellow wig, and called himself Rebecca and had a male voice. I just felt so frustrated and irritated, that the enemy is deceiving people with this crap through media, and knowing that they will never find peace or true identity this way. At the same time I felt something deeper within my heart, a kind of empathy or love, because of the confusion, darkness and loneliness he must be feeling.

China bans 🚫 "girly" men from TV and only wants to promote manly men. Whether you agree with this measure or not - this new Chinese law reveals the REAL heart of atheism.

Quotes from Houses that Change the World, by Wolfgang Simson (1998). He is German, and has been a missionary in India, and seen multiplication of house churches. He uses the same vocabulary as in the podcast interview (some days ago) by @sinbach called 'From Megachurch to Multiplication'.
I've read this kind of books for ten years, but I've met very few where I live that want to give up their traditional way of doing Church or even want to be challenged in their way of thinking, as: Am I doing it by the Book? What does God want? Are we sharing the Gospel Message or are we only after more members and financial gifts? Are we empowering (sending out) or controlling (keeping) people? Do we use money only to build a reputation, or give to those in need?
Asked yourself, when have you experienced real friendship among believers, the tangible presence of God, personal growth, been challenged, learnt valuable lessons, been educated etc.? For me, it's almost never been Sunday mornings.

Facebook and Instagram censorship are ridiculous! The Made by Jim Bob account is censored and deleted from Instagram, over and over! He creates new accounts with similar names... This is one example of the dangerous memes he is sharing... 😉 What happened to free speech? I wish more people would be on DD!
