I know exactly what your talking about when it comes to being in relationship with God and fell the Holy Spirit fill your mouth with words that are not yours. I see the Spirit in coincidences that that happen to me. Glory be to God
You are correct to state theoretically 20 men could due the work if they aren't Calvinists. Total depravity prevents your idealism from being realistic. You may be able to convince some minds but not those who feel motivated by the overwhelming scriptural support of the new covenant . You know Jesus's fulfillment of law. You can't get around this with logic that doesn't accept responsibility for the need of disenfranchised people. We have had the power and did not lead well enough for people not to be content without a voice that speaks for them. We are not victims.
I am for quato's only as a last resort because they designed to correct a injustice on a temporary basis. Much like the myriad of human endeavor"s we perform to follow the Lord. Kind of like marching in front of Planned Parenthood to stop the injustice of abortion.
Now you put me into service. You know I will have to due what uyou ask because I believe in you and your faith. I am sick , but I will do my best which isn't very good these days. I live in communion with the Lord but it is rough and lonely. But He does not promise a easy road just Grace. Glory be to God
Lets look at this issue through the eyes of the minorities and any other group that lack the means to change this dynamic of struggle between groups. That is the most loving way to address these issue's. What do you think they would like implemented the context of the Gospel"s teaching? Why are we so concerned with how this affects us when the Scripture is christal clear from old to new testament about a perfect creation we are to strive fof? Where is our humility?
Great suggestions on helping disabled persons find work and more to live for. My problem is no one is there to talk about anything. People are to busy with other things they consider more important and rarely leave their social cliques to ask anything.
It is nice to know this isn't occurring everywhere like at Chelwood CRC. They have the gift of understanding and care for the hurting.
The use of small groups as you pointed out, are not without issue's. When I was a member of small group, I always thought there should be a open membership. Some group evolve into clique's which exactly the opposite of what they were designed to address.
How you accomplish this is a rotation every so often. This could help to spread the community within the church.
They also need purpose. Your books that you recommend cover this well.
Just a note, I never realized how organized and supported small groups are at a lot of the churches represented here. When I was a member, there was not much leadership or contact. Maybe I just didn't knoe about it.

Hi Mark,
Could you please send them to the churches too. Maybe your way ahead of me, but some how the word has to get out.

Hi Mark,
I can understand. What I was referring to is a notice by email or an announcement of some sort about the webinar.
Thanks Mark

Why stop at the constitution, We could require two thirds vote for the president, congress, going to war, stopping abortion, etc ,etc etc.
