Good thoughts, my friend.
Jesus does ...Jonathan,<br /><br /> Good thoughts, my friend.<br /><br />Jesus does know His own and I have a feeling they can be found in a wide variety of churches that profess His Name.<br /><br />I'll be back to your interesting site to do a bit of perusing.<br /><br />Thanks, and g'nite.<br /><br /> - SteveSteve Martinhttp://theoldadam.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203174451356862507.post-58950717586979650002011-09-14T22:47:21.492-05:002011-09-14T22:47:21.492-05:00I love the idea behind small c catholic.

We just don't always see it that way through all the walls that have been built up. <br /><br />I'm not suggesting everyone who 'goes to church' (building) or is 'a member of a church' (institution/organization) is part of Christ's church (family/body). But I don't think Jesus will use those walls to determine who is in and who is out.<br /><br />You can call it wishful thinking, but I see little value in using labels to divide up Christ's Church.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01266729238990589293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203174451356862507.post-9506046284038743432011-09-14T21:04:10.912-05:002011-09-14T21:04:10.912-05:00We are not technically 'Protestants'.
We...We are not technically 'Protestants'. <br /><br />We are catholic (small C) Lutherans, who were not desirous of leaving the Catholic Church, but tried to get it back to the truths of the gospel.<br /><br />We are constantly reforming. Ourselves, and critiqing other churches that try to add something to the work of Christ for sinners, and that work alone.Steve Martinhttp://theoldadam.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
