Hi Josh,

I agree, that was a great post.
Thanks for sharing.

Josh, thank you! The spiritual is inside! Inside us! Not in a church, not outside of a church, but INSIDE of us, no matter what building we are in or out of! It's not in who's preaching to us or teaching us. It's in us, through God's word.

Your INWARD life reveals itself in the OUTWARD you and the ways you react to others. THINK ABOUT IT.

THINK ABOUT IT.

You hit the nail on the head Josh!

Now, to go a bit deeper...as I had posted yesterday on another thread (that should have been put on this thread...)  my question is this: when God says in 1Tim. 3.. that we "are to not eat with those whom have a form of Godliness, but who deny the power of God"...then aren't we commanded to not be around these kind of people since they are teaching lies regarding The Word?  I have struggled with this verse since HE tells us to stay away from certain people and to not even let them into your home nor to eat with them.  So, SHALL WE DISFELLOWSHIP people that we are around on a daily basis (including strong christians,  family relatives, coworkers, ?  I know that we are in the world and not OF the world, but, where is the line drawn when it comes to doing things with homeschool relationships? 

mari_et_pere:
So what am I to do? I'm working 68 hours this week. You think even one person I work with believes remotely like we do? Heck no. What to do? Not look at anyone, nod when spoken to, give the shortest answer possible when needed, sit by myself at my break times and avoid eye contact etc etc etc.

WE'RE BETTER THAN THAT. Aren't we commanded to spread the good news? How? If we must avoid contact then it becomes impossible other than through written word. Could it be that we aren't to form as tight a bond with those folks as say, someone who doesn't deny the power of God?

Dennis Vogel:
It is impossible not to come in contact with others, and why should we try to avoid it?

How can your light shine under a basket?

How can you be an example if you're hidden away?

I'm currently doing some contract work for a (decent) man who has both feet in the church. He personally knows some of the TBN preachers. I have no problem associating with him, but we are not (yet) brothers.
