Spoiler alert: there is no way I can do this topic justice in a short time. But I hope that by thinking out loud a bit, I can help Christians consider carefully what they believe and how to stand strong in the faith when it seems that the wind of culture is in our face. and ESPECIALLY TO SHOW GRACE TO ONE ANOTHER!

John Newton, pastor and writer of "Amazing Grace" has words for his fellow ministers when they enter into controversy with others over important issues.
"Either they grow in a sense of their own importance, or imbibe an angry contentious spirit, or they withdraw their attention from those things which are the food of a life of faith, and spend their time and strength upon matters which are at most but of secondary value"

Christians ALL believe the biggest conspiracy in the universe! That before the first man and woman, before all recorded history, there was a heavenly rebellion between God and His created beings. The rebels were cast out of heaven and managed to lead mankind into rebellion as well. Lies, coverups, murder, greed secret meetings and power have been the result throughout the human experience.
For the sake of Jesus, guard yourselves against the temptation to believe what you hear without examination. You might find yourself in the...2020-08-2910 mingrassrootschurch#4 Chronological Snobbery in 2020to understand the present, spend time in the past

A reading from C.S. Lewis on the foolishness we exhibit when we consider ourselves "more intelligent, more enlightened, more advanced" than those of other ages. The reality is we are affected and shaped by the subtle motions of history, culture, politics and religion. Unless we spend time in the old books (especially God's book), we will remain defenseless against the cultural assumptions of our own age.

Video of this recording:
Piety, or ""godliness and reverence for God" seems to be lacking in many of the conversations, arguments, and factions we witness in the church at this time in 2020.
Yet throughout scripture, spiritual men and women are exhorted to live lives "worthy of the gospel of Christ," in line with the truths and promises that we claim to believe. In fact, Jesus' prayers were heard because of His reverence, or piety before God. Let us recover this lifestyle rather than conforming to 21st c...2020-08-2909 mingrassrootschurch#2 My Sympathies in 2020Video of this recording; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHu17yoVrfo&list=PLHaeR0lfb5piwSs3M_xjUrYS6-suMHH74&index=2

When news of the corona virus pandemic first hit in March, I had two main concerns:
1. The depravity and fear of man, especially our political leaders. What will they do to help, which will actually hurt us?
2. Division in the church. When the pressure is on, Christians will need to stay "eager" to maintain the unity of the church. Otherwise it will not happen. Will we divide into camps over secondary issues? Or will w...2020-08-2913 mingrassrootschurchPsalm 5 make our paths straight Lord!A reading and short comment2020-08-0610 min
