But it's really part of a larger topic about the "matrix" like nature of this growing "consumer community" technology movement. <BR/><BR/>This post is my preemptive strike..,the next post is on Video Venues and the franchising of chuches. The new colonialism where certain churches are branding themselves and following the Starbuckization model of corporate expansion.<BR/><BR/>The breeding of Babel like church empires that more like the Borg of Star Trek. <BR/><BR/>It's Christian nepotism and it's counter to many new testament patterns Like bad religious incest its weakening the churches healthy reproduction systems that should provide a fresh new healthy DNA pool for the reproduction of free churches.<BR/><BR/>But that bees nest is going to have to be swatted after my trip. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577334211297012754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573548.post-31807418752922432242009-03-05T06:55:00.000-08:002009-03-05T06:55:00.000-08:00Hi Pastor and all commentors!

In my own life, church is more about the opportunities to fellowship with others, to celebrate shared joy over God and the Gospel, and to learn how to love and accept people unconditionally. Church is not my main source of spiritual food--all the rest of life is, including online sermons (watched or read.) <BR/><BR/>We're responsible before God for being faithful with these lives, and for me a huge part of that has been finding those people whom God uses to speak most clearly and powerfully to my heart. At one time it made me hungry to attend their churchs, but now it just serves to make me a better person during those Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday fellowship times. (I hope, anyway...) <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing this post and the article. Great food for thought and for digging deeper to know God, and ourselves, better.<BR/><BR/>Have a great, safe, relaxing, productive, fruitful trip to Portland, and give your dad a hug for me, please.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516485538999541969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573548.post-40204312557424438052009-03-05T05:51:00.000-08:002009-03-05T05:51:00.000-08:00Yea Chris.
