Institutional Church & the Body of Christ

Christians Failing to Read the Signs

I’ve been working on my next ebook which is about Ministering to Someone with Chronic Illness. I found this post and it dovetails so well with some of the ideas I’ve been working on for the ebook. We Must See Past What It Seems We’ve experienced this. Not to the same degree as this family, …

Mark Driscoll Says Macho Men and Dudes are the Key to the Future of the Church

I’ve been splitting my mental energy between March Madness and sorting through the reading I’ve been doing on the church. If you are a newer reader you might not be totally aware of my love of college basketball.  It is the only sport I follow. I follow MSU football, but I don’t follow college football. …

The Authority of the Pulpit Versus the Worship of All Believers

Mahaney, the well-known leader of the group of churches. As I commented on Karen’s blog at the time, I was both surprised and not surprised. My lack of surprise was not …

Sallie Schaaf Borrink

I’m a Christian, wife, homeschool mom, battle-seasoned blogger, and happy warrior for Christ. I discuss how Christians who don’t fit dominant institutional church and cultural narratives are already living truthfully and faithfully in the body of Christ.

“Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.” Acts 17:11

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
