At Carolina Bible Camp for 47th consecutive session. Speaking tonight on Reconciliation. Will use Philemon & Onesimus to illustrate. Thanks to Scot McKnight and his insight. Dilly, Dilly!
Holy Spirit, sent by the Father,
ignite in us your holy fire; strengthen your children with the gift of faith, revive your Church with the breath of love, and renew the face of the earth,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Scot McKnight explained, with tongue planted firmly in cheek, that the etymological background for the Aramaic word “amen” is “dilly.” To which the whole church said: “Dilly-Dilly”! #HarborPBL18
#HarborPBL18 Thanks for the memories. Steve Puckett, Bobby Valentine, Rubel Shelly, Scot McKnight, Geoff and Nathan Sikes, Kent Massey, Greg Taylor, Rob Sparks, Jeffery & Chris Pierpont, Nick & Amy Otto
The only way to defeat racism is for the everyone in the church regardless of color or ethnicity is to treat one another as siblings. And the only way to do that is by, in and through the power of the Holy Spirit. #HarborPBL18#scotmcknight#OpentotheSpirit
Tonight’s singing at #HarborPBL18 reminded me of a statement from Scot McKnight I read today: “When I am with the non-instrumental Church of Christ folks, I love their capacity to sing a cappella with gusto and glory.” #OpentotheSpirit:GodinUsGodwithUsGodTransformingUs
