It doesn't matter if you find it in a bar or church, if you need fellowship (as you said, we all do) you will find it, wherever it is being offered.<br /><br />I think Jesus was/is far more concerned with WHO people are then What they DO. If a man/woman knows WHO he/she is in Christ, the doing will take care of itself. <br /><br />Good post, Joel.

Meaning you will not be embraced by us until you look like us.<br />How is that for 'conditional - love'?<br /><br />You dare not be who you are in Christ.<br /><br />I too would sooner hang out with rebel reprobates.Walking Churchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07108948078929712054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-49945513341199100312009-11-19T13:13:09.279-06:002009-11-19T13:13:09.279-06:00WELL!
