Emerging Conservative

OK, I disappeared for awhile – sorry about that.

I won’t be going back to catch up the ball dropped on day two of Catalyst. If you were following Catalyst, you have already read all about it. If you want to know more, stop by the Catalyst Spacefor mroe info. If you are a church leader, I HIGHLY recommend Catalyst to you. I am a skeptic of conferences but Catalyst is different. Not only was there great instruction and challenge but the Holy Spirit moved in the heart and the worship! God gave us a fresh anointing and vision.

Since I have been home, God has been doing incredible things. We have felt a veil of protection from the new, renewed and the same old attacks that the enemy throws our way. I have a new heart of worship and purpose that I don’t want to lose. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying the conference did this, God has. I know God put it on our hearts to take the faith step to go and once we did, He opened up some new doors to us through His Spirit which we celebrate.

I am also taking some time off from some of the type of conversations of my past. I think I will be taking a break from the Emergent/ Emerging talks. I do believe that some are tired of seeing Christians bicker. I also believe that MUST be balanced with addressing dangerous, fundamentally wrong teachings within the church as well. Either way, for now, time for me to take a break and just focus on the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the calling He has given to me. It will come back around but not for right now.

Also, not caring much for controversies and debates with people who disagree with me and/or the Scripture. I will continue to be me but not caring for trying to convience others on issues that are not salvation or freedom issues.

I will do my best to live a life of integrity with my successes and failures. I will teach the best I can from the Scripture. I will issues challenges as the Spirit leads but only ones I am living out myself or struggling with myself. Outside of that, it is up to the Holy Spirit to change you or me and the only ones who can stop that is us by our own free wills not to submit.

So anyways, that’s random thoughts I have going on and I will be interested to see where things go!
