In Reply to: The War - Part 2 posted by Pastor Steven on October 04, 2002 at 13:45:14:
All of what I spoke in my post The War, Part 2 (which I sincerely feel was from God), was in the context of the face-to-face relationships we are having now in our body and the power and healing we are experiencing from God through those relationships. It is in this specific context, and to this dynamic, ongoing work of God that I am speaking. It is not theoretical, nor about the church at large, nor about the theology of Christian community. It is about the people I love, my family, who have made commitment to love Jesus and to love each other in deed and truth. It is about our church body, and our need to be close to one another. I just don't want the personal and specific nature of this to be lost. Not sure why I feel so strongly about this, but I had to express it.
