The Fear of Man

Where did fear come from?  How has it impacted our lives?  What would happen if we were no longer afraid of what others thought of us?  Has the IC had a hand in creating fear in our lives?  This stirring discussion pounces on these issues of fear.

The Bottom Line

Recently it appears that Father has been working in our lives to bring us to the bottom line.  Dealing with the foundations in our lives.  Jesus didn’t come to be the answer man, he is the answer.  This discussion digs into some of the ways Father centers us into himself.

The Supernatural

Where’s the power?  Where’s the miracles?  Is the demonstration of the power of God just for revival meetings?  What about those folks that walk in relationship with Father outside of the institutional church setting?  This discussion brings about a variety of thoughts regarding the supernatural life.

The Fear Of God

This topic is another one of those misunderstood concepts when viewed through the prism of institutional thinking.  Our conversation explores the variety of thoughts on the fear of God both from the OT and NT and the perspective of relationship with Father.

Secular v. Spiritual Part 2

Our conversation delves into the more personal impact.  We can get so twisted up in trying to maintain some semblance of our own holiness through our embedded sense of the secular and spiritual within us.

Secular vs. Spiritual

The division between secular and spiritual sides of our lives has become one of the major hindrances in our ability to believe in Christ.  It is also one of the more significant sources of frustration in trusting Father.  We explore the impact this religious construct has made in our lives.

Creativity

We actually start talking about children, children’s ministry, youth ministry and Sunday school, and end up on creativity.  What’s significant in this conversation is how creativity is allowed only as it serves in propping up the institution.  Is that what Father had in mind?

Does God Really Love Me?

This topic is a real enigma to most Christians.  Countless believer’s know God loves them from the myriad songs, reading it in the Bible and others writing books about it.  But how many Christians actually have the revelation that He loves them personally?  And if they did, how would that change their life?

Selfish

This topic of selfishness is not as obvious at first glance.  This discussion is about how institutional Christianity has formed this selfish bent within us, and how outside the system, we still have to face the real fact of our spiritual selfishness.

The Pastor

A question was posted on our forums asking how is it possible given the clear evidence of how un-biblical the current role of the pastor is, that believers still aspire to become ‘Pastors’?
