I'm personally so excited about what God is going to do with us at Brighton this year, there is such a yearning for him to break out!<BR/><BR/>Like you, I get excited about being part of a family of churches on a mission together!Luke Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00966431415035294926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-29437621376574611442008-03-16T16:54:00.000+00:002008-03-16T16:54:00.000+00:00Just a thought but aren't we supposed to become mo...Just a thought but aren't we supposed to become more Christ-like and in my Bible I see Jesus - yes 100% man and 100% God - who showed emotion - wept, got angry, filled with compassion, care and love - Dan - don't worry about what anyone says - you model yourself on Jesus......<BR/>Go for it bro!<BR/>Nick xNick Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17604302877811420878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-15685489096517046612008-03-15T15:46:00.000+00:002008-03-15T15:46:00.000+00:00Ha so if you have no interest in acting "dudely" t...Ha so if you have no interest in acting "dudely" then I am guessing you won't be interested in my friend C J's latest post - the greatest basketball player of all time; <BR/><BR/>"http://www.sovereigngraceministries.org/Blog/post/The-Greatest-College-Basketball-Player-of-All-Time.aspx"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-28684188098270860342008-03-15T14:52:00.000+00:002008-03-15T14:52:00.000+00:00Awesome - this is a good point!

It's not worth missing the worship and the manifest Presence of God and the prophecies and stuff just because of one speaker! I've seen plenty of other people walk out after the worship if there's a speaker they didn't like. I am sure I saw some conversative's leave before Rob Rufus's sessions! ;)<BR/><BR/>But you are right - it's too great a price to pay to miss the whole conference! Thanks for sharing what God is doing and saying to your heart at ths time! It means a lot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-45553223138140702212008-03-15T12:10:00.000+00:002008-03-15T12:10:00.000+00:00Thanks for your wonderful encouragements girls!! ...Thanks for your wonderful encouragements girls!! Julie, I know exactly what you were referring to in that Rob sermon! I found it really challenging! Since we all first encountered his presentation of the gospel of grace - I've been on a "grace diet" and have totally abandoned any teaching that even hints of legalism - even teaching of Ern Baxter's that I am suspicious may include some law. But it was so good to hear Rob calmly say that it is "okay" - to just take the good and "spit out the bones"!!<BR/><BR/>Like you, I get FAR too emotionally involved in preaching! If it is a CD or DVD I end up shouting at the screen (or a Mark Driscoll interview ;)) and find my blood pressure is generally far too high! I think another mark of growing in faith will be to take this on board - and to be able to discard what is wrong and yet benefit from the good.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to you both for encouraging and pointing out signs of growth (I was about to say evidences of grace! ha ha you can take Dan out of SGM but you can't take SGM out of Dan!! ;) ... joke!) - again there's another reason why Church is so great. If we live as isolationist Christians never allowing people to get close to us, then we do grow with a distorted view of ourselves - either thinking of ourselves more highly or more badly than we ought!Dan Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661120561123767936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-64748937768132714882008-03-14T23:37:00.000+00:002008-03-14T23:37:00.000+00:00Thanks for your humility Dan.

Of course not referring to Mark Driscoll necessarily but probably to the wing of slightly crazier charismania haha, but still, I was really challenged. I'm one of those people who usually ends up yelling at the t.v. or radio until I can't take it anymore when really if I'm a mature (maturing?) believer I should be able to humbly take the good and leave the rest right? I so appreciate your humility in all this. You've really grown in that this past year quite a lot! <BR/><BR/>And I know you will be blessed in Brighton, as will Mark Driscoll...julhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15688008902332240637noreply@blogger.com
