Seems I always get on here at night after our meetings - there's my set way. Anyway, another good night. We had a full house tonight - the McGlones were over again - always good to have them hang with us. Matt also visitied tonight for the first time. He found our website and e-mailed me - then he was here tonight. It was good to have him with us. We had alot of fun - talked about "doing the word" - being more than just someone who does the compartmental "spiritual" things but one who lives their whole life abiding with Christ - constantly growing and being transformed. We talked a little about the whole notion being discussed by Brian McLaren, Dallas Willard, etc. about being a "follower of Christ" and not just haing the name "Christian." We discussed how this living it out is not being legalistic - that we are cooperating with the work of God in us on a constant basis - loong haul. It was a good talk. That's it for now.
