Sam, who and what are you addressing yourself to, if not to Matt? To me? Over what? Is there a sister I’ve discouraged or something?

I agree with what you say, and I would say a similar thing myself, so I’m confused.

And aplpying what you say – remember that talking about stuff isn’t wrong. It’s a work like any other, and can be a good one, so long as it’s helpful.

I think our talk, on and off this blog, has produced a lot of good things – real attitude changes, real actions, real helpfulness. So I don’t know what you mean by ‘theology’, but I’m not aware that we’re doing something here that’s for ’sinners’. If I’ve missed something that’s really obvious to you, I’m sorry – it’s not intentional.

People do works in different ways you see. Some will seem wrong in others eyes just because that would be their personal gripe. The deal is, so long as it for God, in the name of God and promoting God’s message and name, it is the goods. So, what im saying is, should you discourage a brother (or sister, aaron) for telling the good news in his or her own Godly way? (Note, Matthew, none of this is addressed to you.)

While I think I know what you are getting at Sam, what I’m trying to do is promote a kind of worship service style which I think does encourage doing good things in his name. At the end of the Substance service, David says: “Go now to love and serve the Lord. Go in peace”, and we stamp our feet answer “Amen. We go in the name of Christ”.

Shut up, repent, worship, do good things in His name. Fags. Stop over thinking it. Theology is for SINNERS!

And eucharist is a fancy word for thanksgiving.

Richard, in these latter days of the old age you should be trying to score brownie points. Lest you be put aside with the goats.

Tim, Re: Does that mean a church service is a dissappointment if it doesn’t have an exciting, emotional climax?

…you should give us some sort of indication as to whether you are being intentionally stupid or just regular-type.

I heart regular-type stupid.
