Josh Harris Blogs: The Wrong Decision

The reviews are coming in, and...

They're not good. Discussed the FG blog idea with Billy and Becca tonight and Becca's first comment was, "What would be the purpose, again?" Hmmm...

If you guys have any notions, go ahead and share them.

Brothers and sisters,

Great seeing you all tonight. In light of the difficult text we're dealing with, I wanted to encourage everyone to feel comfortable passing along further thoughts you had, or resources that were helpful to you. (Danai and I agreed to do as much, as our post-group conversation brought up even more questions.) So hopefully, conversations like ours tonight are just the beginning of our learning, not the end of it.

To that end, here's great resource:

50 Common Questions About Gender

It published by The Council of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, a great ministry involving tons of respected leaders - both male and female. I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with their resources.

(Danai, question 47 of the "50 Questions..." deals with some of our questions. I feel better knowing, on this question anyway, that it's not that simple.)

God bless,

Kick off

So I thought about the notion of starting a weblog for our Chelsea Fellowship Group. Don't quite know if it'll work, and don't quite know what I even mean by "work". However, I'm going to play around with the idea and implimentation for a little while, and see what happens.

My goal, if you could call it that, is to use this medium simply to make our FG even better (again, need to define "better") than it already is. I guess I could throw up all the "standard" purposes for a fellowship group: progressive sanctification, mutual care, biblical fellowship, ministry of the Holy Spirit, etc. And I'd do it in a heartbeat, only that I'm not sure how it all fits together with the function of the blog. Maybe this has a narrower focus? Maybe a broader one? We'll see.

Anyway, stayed tuned...
