Ha! I bet you will get something for Xmas James, prolly black, hard, and will burn if you light it up!
But you know Gary is right (even if he can't see past the long hair and sandals!!!!) I'm kidding of course Gary, but in a way those kind of things have categorized us. We've used excellent doctrine to undermine our ability to minister. Maybe I should have just said that "I've" used doctrine to hamstring any chance that I may have had to help some people.
I remember early on reading 'Rees Howells: Intercessor' book and practically discarding it over his celebration of Christmas (something about God giving him a Christmas gift, or something of that nature). I know, petty stuff, but I was so discerning back then! <grin>
Anyway, I've watched some more of those youtube clips put out by 'the Last Reformation' and I'll say one thing, THIS is the mental picture of how I've always thought Christianity should work in our world and I don't think it's much different from what we read about in the book of Acts.
I've watched both men AND women WITHOUT any formal training going about doing the kinds of things that I believe all of us were born to do. Is it perfect? No, but that's kinda the point, they are willing to go out and do what Jesus said to do just because their eyes have been opened to the willingness of God to give the 'signs following' as they step out in faith. That humbles me.
Blessings,
William
