Church Update


Quick Update:

Trying to set up a meeting with the guy from Grove Ave who runs the Israel ministries.  Looking forward to that and feel it's going to be a blessed encounter.

Met the pastor at Grove and was impressed to be in the presence of true man of G-d.  He's got the ingredients of a great leader:  humility and boldness.

Met a One Law lady that my wife already knew.  She goes to a Messianic shul in addition to attending Grove.  We talked about how it's unfortunate the route that some in the Messianic organizations are taking.  When gentiles and Jews are worshipping in different bodies then it really hurts cohesiveness.  She mentioned that there was a ministry a couple of hours away that might be the new form of our movement:

Supposedly there's a Messianic ministry that is meeting on Shabbat AT A CHURCH (believe it or not) and they're integrating and fellowshipping with the gentiles.  So both spheres are in the process of coalescing.  I'll tell you the name of the ministry after I check it out.

It certainly sounds interesting though.  Perhaps an antidote to bilateral ecclesiology?  A first step in moving toward a more unified body?

But G-d is going to unify the Body whether anyone likes it or not.  May His will be done!

Shalom,

Peter

    That is fantastic to hear. It is only in Messiah that we are unified, as Paul says in Ephesians.

    I actually wish the mainstream MJ would go ahead and make solid, their divisive stance, that way things can move on, of course with a movement made out of more than 90% gentiles, the possible loss of money and support is most likely what is holding this decision back, as you can see the priorities.

    Zion, the leaders have made the jump (of the shark). The growth is all with the "90%" already. We figured out their schtick, and moved on. They own their dying denomination now.

    This lady has to go to three different congregations right now: (1) church; (2) mainstream MJ synagogue; (3) One Law MJ synagogue. One doesn't have to be a genius to realize there has to be a better way.

    By the way, here's the site for the One Law (?) MJ synagogue she was talking about (if anyone is interested):
