Institutional Church & the Body of Christ

Modes of Baptism and Church Membership

Yesterday I listened to Rush Limbaugh while out running errands. I’ve listened to him for almost as long as he’s been around nationally, in varying amounts depending on my life situation at the time. (Teaching elementary school didn’t allow for much Rush!) Yesterday I heard something that was just absolutely priceless. I would say it …

Keeping Your Children With You In Church

I’ve been having fun around home working on de-piling the past week or so. It isn’t as though there were huge piles of stuff all over the house. Just little ones here and there, in this drawer and that, on this desk and that desk, in the basement, etc. Over the past several months I’ve …

The Quest for the Perfect Church

Update: In the end, we were only members of this church for a short time for reasons I’ve written about on here. We are no longer Reformed in our theology. Perhaps most sadly for me in particular, we have never found a church home that matches our views on women using their gifts. Last evening …

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)
