That's inspiring Quaesitor!!

True, some practioners of Churchianity might accuse us of breaking the laws of Christ by not attending a traditional fellowship...

But even Jesus broke the rules! As Carlton Pearson put it.... Let's just be sure we're breaking these rules in the name of love.
 :bigGrin:

If people of the world persecute us because they don't want to repent, that's a given. But if "Christians" persecute us too?? Well, the more persecutors, the merry-er.. :grin:

My wife and I have been out of the IC for about 6 years now. We are part of a Home Church fellowship that meets in our home, we have about 10-12 folks that gather with us.

I read Wayne's book about 2 years ago, great book that pretty much reflects what our group is like.  Minus the John character  :grin:  Just living loved and loving others whether they are followers of Jesus Christ or not.

I don't miss the politicing and the power playing that goes on in the IC.

Nothing like being a free ranging bird.  :bgdance:

Has any of you read Frank Viola's "Finding Organic Church"?  But Like being with the UR group.. it is sometimes lonely... Hard to find others of like mind in the same area.

If you are interested in chatting with other free ranging bird, you should look up the Gj forum at www.thegodjourney.com

Grace and peace

they leave the Devil's gospel out of it, and I'm not under pressure to conform, no problem :}

Read this book a year ago, and it was another step in freeing me in my walk with my Father.  We are so conditioned in our society to be part of some organized group, maybe a throwback to tribal survival, don't know, but I just could not bring myself to attend any church. Too wounded still from things I've gone through, absolutely no trust whatsoever in churches, I've seen lives like mine destroyed by them.

For myself, if I am studying the scriptures, praying, considering, I'm in church wherever I am, for the Holy Spirit is with me, two or more gathered together, that's Holy Spirit and me, the math works. lol! I do enjoy the rare moments I get to discuss things with those of like mind, but I also tend to avoid getting into discussions with those who have no understanding of the vast depths of God's total reconciliation plan of love. The anger and sometimes actual hate they spew is incredible!
