Is Congregational Voting Biblical?

Ted Bigelow

For most of us, voting is a common experience. Many vote for our government representatives and, if we are involved in civic groups, we may vote in them as well. Voting is a means by which we express self-determination. “We the people” have the privilege and duty to help choose our future directions.

Bob Bixby on the Missional Church

WilliamD
Hey Everyone

We just had Bob Bixby at our church and he spent a few days with us talking about being misisonal. We covered the topics of contextualization, the pitfalls of the traditionalist, seeker sensitive and emerging church, and how to adapt to the culture you are in. Here’s the link to our church website where you can get the audio and the notes:

The joy of evangelism

jwolf6589
Last night I went out witnessing and passed out many tracts from several different tract ministries. I spoke with many, and challenged many with the gospel. Some in my area are so indoctrinated by culture christianity, that when I politely asked them if they knew the gospel, and how to get saved, they got real defensive. Others did not pretend to be a believer that does not know the gospel and openly were hostile to the message. I think these type are more sincere and honest, over the phonies that say they are Christians, yet, do not know the gospel.
