Be patient.<BR/><BR/>As for those chaps on the other site you linked me to... well, what do they know eh? <BR/><BR/>I'm not too well versed in the art of economics, but wouldn't it be better in the long term that we have a permanent address to worship in? <BR/><BR/>Plus we wouldn't have to pay all those rental fees that we've been paying for all these past years. Funds could be diverted to the missionaries and public services instead.Comrade Kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270659862345256804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12549130.post-1118109618246112652005-06-07T10:00:00.000+08:002005-06-07T10:00:00.000+08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Comrade Kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270659862345256804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12549130.post-1118109431059406332005-06-07T09:57:00.000+08:002005-06-07T09:57:00.000+08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Comrade Kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270659862345256804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12549130.post-1118074645739126292005-06-07T00:17:00.000+08:002005-06-07T00:17:00.000+08:00My own belief is that no one is "bashing" the char...My own belief is that no one is "bashing" the charismatics because they are charismatic. Not because they sing loudly like no one's business, not because they speak in weird unintangible words claiming it to come from God, not because they build big buildings with money that can be used for "other things", not because they have mtv style worship sessions which sometimes rob our songs of the doxology. WE, charismatics, are often targeted because of our lack of enthusiasm in READING the bible seriously. We just don't take the bible serious enough, often become contented with shallow expositions, if not heretical ones.<BR/><BR/>That all being said, I must say that I believe, just as you have expressed, that Christians operate solely in the realm of undeserving grace, not our intellects nor our foolishness. Our strength or despair cannot be used to blackmail GOd to love us more or less. Thank God for that.<BR/><BR/>Apostle Henri RamayanaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12549130.post-1118038867051000062005-06-06T14:21:00.000+08:002005-06-06T14:21:00.000+08:00Hey,it takes time.

For eg. set up one area, say doctrine of sin, and study on it thoroughly. This might take longer than you expected. And after that, then only you move on to other topics.<BR/><BR/>=)SATheologieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03776516716731379132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12549130.post-1118027155587458642005-06-06T11:05:00.000+08:002005-06-06T11:05:00.000+08:00Jo,We are called Christian because we proclaim tha...Jo,<BR/><BR/>We are called Christian because we proclaim that God's grace and what He has done for us was enough to save us from the penalty of sin.<BR/><BR/>We are here because of God's grace and will last also because of His grace.
