Re: Shunning

When I was under severe discipline/ bullying, within BCF, Ian Barlow told me I didn’t know the true God. He said I worshipped ‘the god of my own imagination’!

Re: Shunning

Hello Helen, Thank God for His word and for our internal conscience which He offers us, to guide us in our relationship with Him. Faith is quite correct.

Re: reclaiming what was lost

If most of the congregation were honest, they would realise they believed the songs were good because they were constantly being told so. This hits home.

Re: reclaiming what was lost

Re: reclaiming what was lost

Jonathan Gill was the musical director at the time. He gave the sermon that night and said the following. "X has shown how not to play, that is an example of not playing in the spirit." Mate. Firstly, I knew "Jack" Gill when he was growing up in Brisbane. We weren't close but I ...

Re: Agape Meals not Communion
