Conference, cont.

The conference was great. Now the question is how to start making the changes necessary in my own walk to support the direction needed.

"Don't Do, Be!", "No such thing as a volunteer, we don't donate time" - Need to change my thinking, heart and actions to support the paradigm expressed by these two key thoughts. The material wasn't new for the most part, but was articulated ideas that had been percolating in my mind. Not sure how else to explain it.

Also the need to attend the GlocalNet conference is more defined now. I believe this will help to enhance and further define the changes I am going to start making.

Healthy Reproducing Churches Conference

Drove to Urbana to attend the conference. Had a good worship time and one session this evening. The one key point for me tonight was the whole topic and importance of Discipleship over the Church.

Notes:
What is a Disciple? Not just Jesus in the American dream.

Church - Not having a mission, but being the mission.

Discipleship has become a lost art and ancillary. Thought: Could the resurface of this relate to the end of the church age that some have mentioned.

Dallas Willard in "Divine Conspiracy" states that discipleship is the elephant in the room.

If our church did not exist, would anyone miss it except our members?

When have I been strongest "in the zone" as a Christian?

Personal Zone Elements: Communion, Transparent Connection & Glocal Impact

Community Zone Elements: Mutiplication, Community Development, Nation Building

Like it so far

Have been playing with the template and like it so far. This site started with the minima black template, but as you can see it has been altered. Changes will continue as I have time.

One item on my list is to change the comment date-time stamp as they listed a bunch of options but not the one I wanted. found that list rather frustrating in that respect. But it shouldn't be something a little javascript can't fix.

Well it is bedtime for tonight, you should hear from me soon.

Let's try this again

I have an old blog that isn't being updated much. Also they try to get you to buy premium services. Let's see how this one works.

Happy Reading!
