Hey, welcome back Preach Dat Fire! You've been missed. Where have you been? I've searched for your podcasts and can't find any recent shows. Are you still doing radio?

Light, I honestly believe that we should all have one big google chat video conference. What do you think? I find it a lot more intimate, and that people would be to relate better. Some things can be misunderstood by text alone.

But I wholeheartedly agree with you on Utopianism. Honestly, I believe its our responsibility as the Church to bring in Refugees, help the poor etc. I don't believe that the government should be forcefeeding as much as it intends to do. Countries like Venezuela, Greece, and Spain should be in reference to that caution.

I agree 100 percent that the church should help the poor since so much is being said by Christians but that's not likely.

I want to state that “the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh so that ye may not do the things that ye will” (Galatians 5:17). To actually be about the Father’s business means many times laying down our own will. It did for Jesus. He said, “I do not seek my own will but the will of the Father who sent me” (John 5:30). We need to recognize God’s purpose for our lives during those moments where we would perhaps rather indulge our self-interests or run from the demanding implications of His leading at that time.

Are we mature enough in Christ to actually understand what our Father’s business really is? May it be fully recognized and applied in this new upcoming year.

At the moment I'm reading the Bible in front of the fireplace. Reading through JUDGES in the Bible is not the easiest to do (especially 19-21). There's some truly horrifying accounts of what the people did when they turned away from God and sought to do what was right in their own eyes. Disobedience always brings judgment. The Israelites present a perfect example of what we are not to do. Instead of learning from experience that God will always punish rebellion against Him, they continued to disobey and suffer God’s displeasure and discipline. If we continue in disobedience, we invite God’s discipline, not because He enjoys our suffering, but “because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son” (Hebrews 12:6).

Holy Culture members, I want to say it has been a real blessing conversing with you over the years, and hopefully there's many more to come.

At one time this place was on fire, but everyone has disappeared now. Relationships to a degree have been built up over the years. People should say good-bye if they're leaving for good.

It's a message board. There is a sense of community on here, but a lot of us simply transitioned over to talking/posting more on Facebook. That's all.

That makes sense. This board is still useful for checking out new artists, new songs, new info etc. It's just a lot harder to keep up now.

Facebook took everybody out of business

A lot of us are older now as well. We're married, have children, and some are pursuing ministry. It some way there are better ways to make use of the time we have in this life. Many have benefited from this forum though.
