One thing I learned early on at Open Door is "people over program." While that doesn't mean program is bad, or that we have to pit one against the other, it does mean that church is the people, not our structures. Matt, I actually got the video from another church's website, so it must be going around right now. Thanks for your encouragement and pray all is well with you. Stew,

Matt,
I actually got the video from another church’s website, so it must be going around right now. Thanks for your encouragement and pray all is well with you.

Bp. Smith linked the same video 2 weeks ago. That opens up the possibilities for a "great minds" joke or two. Hope all is well. Are you reading the E-church website? Bp.

In your going, therefore, into all the world, make disciples of the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And, lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Since then the church has complicated and often confused those simple instructions, morphing them into a thousand other things. "Simple" is right! Thanks, Shane! Jesus said, “All authority has been given to me in Heaven and on earth. In your going, therefore, into all the world, make disciples of the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

Thanks, Shane!
