Sometimes you gotta take a little extra prep time because 'prep time' actually needs to be recovery time from the last rushed service!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428713732376221642.post-591781868641715972009-04-16T11:23:00.000-04:002009-04-16T11:23:00.000-04:00Anonymous, thank you for visiting, and to answer y...Anonymous, thank you for visiting, and to answer you on what I left at SCL is simply this...it was an attempt at humor. Did you not notice how I repeated myself in my comment? And, I would like to add also if you would like to comment on what I write here at my blog that's great and I welcome it, but if you wish to discuss with me in the future about what I've written on another blog; then I ask that you comment at that blog or send me an email. Again, thank you for visiting and I hope you come back and perhaps offer up a comment or two on what I've written here and not somewhere else.<br /><br />Blessings.I.H.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03861841487009504207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428713732376221642.post-91786905333224317702009-04-16T11:07:00.000-04:002009-04-16T11:07:00.000-04:00Courteous and Respectful... definitely!
I noticed...Courteous and Respectful... definitely!<br /><br />I noticed your comment in SCL about coffee in the sanctuary. I would like you to consider why we call it a "sanctuary"? That sounds like a holy place where we come into God's presence. It sounds like a temple. <br /><br />But I would like to suggest that when the curtain ripped in the temple upon the death of Christ, that his presence was nolonger defined by human walls or buildings. However, our bodies are his temples now. So, if there is a sanctuary, it is our bodies.<br /><br />God is everywhere, so if we have coffee in our homes and offices, what is wrong with having them in a building where we meet to worship? It would be better to discuss if we should put coffee into our bodies (God's temple) and that would go for any day of the week.<br /><br />I would like to see the African American church to do better about contextualization for non-Christian African American culture rather than holding on so tightly to our styles and traditions in the African American church. It's like we're with whole separate counter-culture that you have to accept along with Jesus if you decide to believe in him. And it becomes a stumbling block for many--perhaps they're interested in Jesus--they just don't want all the "wack" church culture stuff that goes with it.<br /><br />We should not make it hard for people to enter the kingdom of God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428713732376221642.post-33996169371218125302009-04-12T16:43:00.000-04:002009-04-12T16:43:00.000-04:00HAPPY EASTER, I.H.S...missing you and hoping you'r...HAPPY EASTER, I.H.S...missing you and hoping you're busy doing WONDERFUL Easter things on this very special day! xxxZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428713732376221642.post-77079227024421803532009-04-09T21:55:00.000-04:002009-04-09T21:55:00.000-04:00He was and is a Man above all other men.
