MessageThis is my first visit to this site. Due to my personal experiences with the institutional church and its members I find it hard to trust these days. That said, I will get my feet wet a little at a time.
I agree with your site about many Western Christians not being willing to seek Biblical truth but instead follow the beliefs and politics of other men.
There seems to be many traditions within the American Church that go unquestioned that, in my opinion, must change if we are to be the true body of Christ. Yet even good Church leaders refuse to see them or do anything about these errant traditions.
I am looking forward to speaking with people here. May God bless us all.

MessageJust found your site yesterday but am very blessed by what I've read so far. I believe God has been preparing my heart for this kind of living for the last 4 or 5 years. God bless you and your ministry.
Yours in Christ;

MessageI am new to the home church idea and movement. My wife and I have just started a home church and have been seeing the spiritual fruit of it. I am interested in getting to know other brothers and sisters who have home churches because there is little fellowship or understanding here in on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I look forward to hearing from you.
In His Love,
John

MessageI have recently had "church" in a IHOP, in a car, in several different houses, at the Blue Plate Cafe and in a park. So I agree that the common concept of what "church" is is distorted. I also believe Jesus meant what He said in Jn 14:12. So if the church is not seeing the sick healed, the blind made to see and the dead raised, in the literal sense, we are not walking as Christ intended. That really messes with traditional thought. It's easier to say that all passed away than to admit we need to change.
While I agree in concept with unity in the church, I have some questions of how it is walked out. I have had dealings with an "Emerging Church" recently that beleives if you say you are a follower of Christ, you are. You can live anyway you want and be in fellowship because it is all between you and God and your brothers should not judge you. So you can be trafficing children sx slaves and be a follower of Christ. I would think you would have problems with that, you would say that is sin, and it would be a ligitimate reason to be out of fellowship. So the question becomes what "sin" is enough to causes dis-fellowship and who is even defining what is sin. What about a homosxual church? What about a church that let's women bring the word? What about a church that shows R rated movie clips as part of their service?
Also our concept of "elders" may be off base, since most of the apostles, from the historic Jewish perspective, were probably less than 20 years old

MessageHey Brethren,

I live outside Grand Rapids, MI and I long to fellowship as in the Book of Acts. Your testimony has greatly encouraged me (I ordered your book today) as I am called to disciplining His chosen ones in the urban world. I believe the house church movement is the future of the true church and I am seeking to learn more on how to develop one here. Thank you for you example, efforts, and faithfulness.

Be blessed and be a blessing,
Doug

MessageI am a Catholic, I ran across your website and found it interesting. I agree with your article on Tithing. I think we have much in common and then some that is not. Are there many home churches?
God Bless you and all you do, Daniel
