Frankly, I am a bit flamed out at fundamentalist Christians (even some who are dear friends) that do not seem to be able to seperate God from politics. In two years of listening to you I have never once seen you cross that line. http://everydollarmatters.com/blog/2009/11/27/the-truth-seperation-of-church-and-state/ I thought what you did today was very biblical and not at all political. This is coming from someone that is very hyper-sensitive to this subject at the moment. I thought it interesting that you needed to make a disclaimer that you were not being political.

We so appreciate how you "rightly divide the word of TRUTH," without pulling any punches or trying to softcoat anything. We have learned so much from you, and we believe you are a valuable and much needed voice at Harambee (Soma Communities expression at ...) We know you are busy and have plenty of irons in the fire, but we just want you to know that hearing from you on Sunday is an experience neither of us wants to miss, and we pray we have many, many more opportunities to learn from you. This sermon was, again, very powerful and gut-reaching, and as usual, we'll keep munching on it for many days to come! Thanks for your depth and wisdom and commitment to Truth!

With out the focus solely on the Gospel we lose focus and look to the cares of this "string" of reality; yours, mine, everyone elses strings that may seem pleasing for this dimension. But the Gospel gives purpose to those of us who have no purpose and redirects those that think they know where they want to go and why. Once our strings are in tune with the Gospel then we can get just a glimpse of what worshipping GOD in all of HIS Almightiness will be like when He returns and makes all things new.

Gospel, Gospel. We shoule freely give because we have been given to freely, GOD's Grace through salvation (Matt. 10:5-10, Rom. 8:32). I needed to be reminded of what GOD has been whispering to my heart so he used you to make me listen a little better. May GOD be praised for his loving kindness (Hessid?) and thank you for your obedience in studying and giving us what the Spirit gave you during that time of study. Strong work Mike...

It's something that I hadn't considered before. It makes a miracle that can't be 'reasoned' away like people try to do. Is this a viewpoint that is new?
