Blame me for the \'deluge strong\' of last weekend (in UK)! You prefer \'small showers\'?!

HI STEVE ~ Thanks for the ORGAN RECITAL ~ very uplifting on a Tuesday. Acts 2 v 42 ~ 47 is a very very important passage in answer to the Q \"What is a CHRISTIAN CHURCH and what do they DO ? X things stand out in this passage which define NEW TESTAMENT ~ PATTERN CHURCH. 1. Baptism and that would be Total Immersion signifying identification with the Death & Resurrection of Christ ~ not SPRINKLING which is unscriptural ! And note it was Believers Baptism ~ not Children which is also unscriptural ! Steadfast not just on a Sunday but 24/7. 2. The Apostles Doctrine ~ study of the Teachings of the NT Gospels ~ Acts ~ Epistles ~ Revelation ~ by the end of the 1st C (AD 100) these would be availableand in several languages. And of course the OLD TESTAMENT which is an integral part of the CHRISTIAN BIBLE (66 Books only !) Today the complete Bible is available in over 2000 languages and is always the World\'s \"best seller\" ! 3. BREAKING OF BREAD ~ The Communion Service. Simple directions are given BREAD (Symbolising The Body of Christ) WINE (Symbolising the Blood of Christ). Groups that do NOT have a regular Communion Service are not NT Christian Churches. 4. PRAYERS ~ An NT Church has regular Prayer Meetings ! 5. FELLOWSHIP (Greek KONONIA) it signifies meetings to Care & Share and also \"Christian Get Togethers\" in the CHURCH BUILDING or in Houses this can include ALPHA GROUPS ~ Ladies Meetings & Mens Curry Nights ! There is also ~ Evangelism in the Church & Communities (Gospel Rallies etc) & Overseas ~ Missionary Work etc etc. Buildings are not mentioned ~ they came later as did ritual and Extrascriptual Doctrines such as Transubstantiation & Mariolatry & Purgatory & Infallibility of the Pope etc etc. Also Heresies ~ Mormons ~ JW\'s ~ Christian Science ~ Unitarians etc. These are big subjects but ever since the Day of Pentecost (AD 33) There have been Christian Churches who have met in a simple way and according to the NEW TESTAMENT~ but also Global Churches like the Roman Catholics ~ Eastern Orthodox etc and of Course Islam. You & I are personally responsible for what we believe ~ which Church (Denomination) we join and what other \"Churches\" & \"Doctrines\" we embrace ~ AMEN Sorry to pontificate but Acts 2 vv 42 ~ 47 is for Angela & I ~ very very HOLY GROUND ! Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Every Blessing ~ YOURS Brian & Angela

I\'ve always believed the Gods churches aren\'t big enough for him. Although we go and pray in church and it\'s a simple place to be filled with the love of God. God is everywhere touching in our souls driving us towards better lives. I pray everyday a child is born free of Heroin addiction from the mother, I pray for babies not to be born blind, deaf and dum. Why does God allow this to happen. It makes me angry and I ask him not to do such things in our world. I love your poem. A great tribute to the almighty himself.

orchidee said:
Thanks Gold. Not much \'danger\' of joyful songs in some places! Just been to one. Well, it\'s the hols, and some folk not coming out in the wind and rain - depleted numbers!
Five songs there would have been agony! Mutter, mutter, etc. Can\'t be helped sometimes. I start muttering too! doh!

Hi Orchi - well I rode a LOT of horses and some of them definitely knew the way - more than we liked! Ha! If there is one I\'m sure you\'re going to heaven with or without a horse.....

Yes you\'re right and i do see before me a well structured piece which flows like a story with a message. I think \'a poetic parable\' would be an appropriate descriptor.

You\'re obviously a christian religious believer and i am not so i can\'t/won\'t comment upon the content of your piece. I hope you\'ll understand that.
However, i am ready and able to raise my voice and give praise to a higher being (or wotever) on the proviso that you just mime it.

Rapture or rupture - I\'ve got a small hernia is the same thing? Waiting for ultrasound - is that another name for your singing.
Since joining this site I\'ve become as mad as you - is it part of post 1066 stress disorder?

THANKS STEVE ~ Another great Golden Oldie ~ Beautifully played & sung ! The martyrdom of Stephen is a paradox ~ A Tragedy that such a promising Servant of God should die so Young ! A Triumph in the way He died. The Scripture states that JESUS stood up to Greet Him amen. Augustine said STEPHANUS NO ORORAT PAULUS NON IN ECLECSIUM ERAT ! IF STEPHEN HAD NOT PRAYED ~ PAUL WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN IN THE CHURCH ~ OK. For Saul (Paul) of Tarsus to have observed the TRIUMPHANT Death of Stephen was the beginning of his conversion. Thanks for posting BRIAN. We will be off-line until TUESDAY 31st July ~ OK
