Excellent article! What you wrote reinforced my thoughts on the Body of Christ and being apart of such, naturally of myself and my own actions. And I believe that's where the ball starts rolling. I'm in the middle of reading a book from Steve Turner called "Imagine. A Vision For Christians In The Arts". Your article brought back the author's quote from Proverbs 27:17..."As iron sharpeneth iron, so one man sharpens another." Thank God for people like you Dan, people that are big, loud, and opinionated - because so was Jesus. What also really hit home was the comment that most people who are "anti-Christian" have simply never met a true follower of Christ and seen the love of Christ surrounding that person like an aura. I was turned off in front of the train station this last Sunday when a man was preaching, Bible in hand, to the crowd coming in. This alone is a rarity in Germany, and I was happy to see that man there, but it was disturbing to see the man preaching in front of his own sign with the words "GOD HATES DIVORCE". It made me think of what our Christ died for and how the spirit message wasn't being delivered. Just another example of "The Church" simply not "getting it/living it" and dishing out the old law. It was saddening. Dan, time after time again you hit the nail on the head and have me reading almost faster than I can understand. Excellent article!

And I think you're dead on with #7. Psalm126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
