Maplewood Cottage Home-Lessons
• Oct. 2, 2007 - Fellowship
A few Sunday evenings ago the children and I were playing at the local park and we met some sweet Christians. Four little girls saw us nearing the park and came to greet us! They were so loving!
Lina and Sophia especially go lots of attention.
Before we all parted I was given their phone number and had a couple options for possible fellowship.
My husband and I were most comfortable with the idea of meeting a group of families that did kinda like a home church.
So this Sunday Mike stayed home with the children as they aren't ready to sit through a whole service and Mike often gets home so early in the morning that he has a hard time waking for morning activities.
I went by myself to their meeting, it was a great blessing.
We are unsure how we might fit in to this group there are many commonalities... families that primarily homeschool, do not limit family size, are conservative in dress, and real sweet christian spirit amongst them.
The talk on witnessing was quite balanced and I got a lot out of it.
Prayer and hymn singing was sweet.
Doctrinally it seems just from comment by one of the men is diverse. This is where my concern lies.
We have generally been very forth right in our biblical views on most areas of doctrine.
We have even felt it a ministry of ours to stand for certain views that if not upheld seem to bring confusion and weakness in christian lives and the church.
So we are waiting to find out what doctrinal diversity they were referring to. I so much don't want to have to pull away.
My husband will go for the first half of the meeting this coming Sunday and then I will join him with the children, Lord willing. Then there is a meal being shared so it will be a nice way to get to know some others.
I know we so need to be amongst other Christians and be stirred in love by fellowship.
It is a great blessing to have this opportunity.
One day and step at a time with you Lord Jesus. |
