@Toddkapper they don't necessarily have a name for it. the Chinese house church growth has been shaped by persecution, not methodology. I am of the opinion that it can't be repeated on purpose, but by the leading of the Holy Spirit. Not enough space here to go into detail, but I have written in detail about the growth of the house church, what happened, and who the key figures were in our book "Underground Church."

What is the Gospel story? Many people believe that the Gospel story is the story of Jesus coming to earth to show us the way to get to Heaven. A once popular worship chorus put it this way:

“You came from heaven to earth to show the way...from the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky...”

This is not the Gospel story. God didn’t create a good world only to make His main object to show people how to escape it!

The Apostle Paul sums up the end goal of the Gospel this way:

“For He (God) has made known to us his will, according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ as a plan...to unite all things in Him, things in heaven and things on earth.” Ephesians 1:9-10

The plan is to reconcile the creation with the creator. This is why the Gospel is good news for the whole person and the whole planet. All things can be reconciled to God.

Thank you DingDashers! I am writing my next book and sometimes I need a mental break. You guys are helping me break away from writing and giving my brain a much needed break!

@deenadingding Bottle Shock is one of my fave movies and his best line in that movie was this one in the clip. the clip has foul language that might be offensive (so pls dont watch it if you are offended by bad language), but I thought it was funny (and I am not offended by language).

@tanjaostman Body Guard is one of my favorite movies and I LOVED Kevin Costners speech at her funeral. I do not know why, but I always thought Keven Costner and Whitney belonged together. Maybe that is the power of cinema? Because they were one of the best couples EVER - and no Bobby Brown was no good. no no good.
That was a sad day when she passed.
As Kevin Costner said - she was a song bird.

@kristawagner don't know if I ever saw any of the movies, but I am familiar with the books. And I do think that you told me about reading them.

@tymektt wow! really? that is amazing news! I love poland!

@Rinati actually, Elvis is the reason I asked this question! haha. so funny you said that, because I just watched a documentary about him and was incredibly saddened when they arrived at his death. Not sure why. I am not an Elvis fan, have never been an Elvis fan, but I do remember listening to his hymns on 8-track when I first got saved.

@Toddkapper I didn't grow up in church, so I missed out on all those "cheesy" movies, but when I was in High School I did read the LEFT BEHIND series. those really did impact the way that felt about eschatology.
