@megbasham I’ve serviced that animal incineration site…Baker. Nice people work there. Still makes me shudder. Couldn’t eat for a day every time. Smells like cooked rotting death

@UsedtobeAdam @BudLightSadness I’ll probably get more hate by saying I only first saw it last year and my biggest takeaway was “oh that’s what GTAV was aping”

[Duane petrie @sduane]

@seanfeucht We want you in northern Idaho mid-September!! We’ll pay flight/room/bored pleeease Sean 😂🙏

@796763 @Joseph_Spurgeon Great points, especially about repentance

[Duane petrie @sduane]

@Joseph_Spurgeon Hmm 🤔

I got zinged by one of the funniest men on the internet 1.5 months ago and didn’t even see it until tonight @michaelmalice

[Michael Malice @michaelmalice]

@sduane Hey @grok can you explain to @sduane what the word "always" means

[Duane petrie @sduane]

@UsedtobeAdam Sorry man. It’s hard when things that seem permanent suddenly vanish on you. Had a dose of that myself this month.

God’s got an upgrade coming for you. One of the first signs is when he clears out some room from the old for the new to fill

[Duane petrie @sduane]

@TimothyReigle Welcome back! And congrats!

[Duane petrie @sduane]

Having a friend named Teo 15 years ago has forever doomed me to having to correct autocorrect back to “two”

[Duane petrie @sduane]

@DougTenNapel Ok the ones I’ve seen are all winners, so def the next movies I’m watching are the ones I haven’t: Duck Soup, Hudsucker Proxy, and Raising Arizona.

Haven’t even heard of the first two

[Duane petrie @sduane]

@VettDude @TylerRatcliff17 THIS WORKS!! I thought I was the only one playing mind games with these guys. Everyone laughs at you like you misjudged the opening, let them laugh…it made the guy speed up to avoid getting passed up and they don’t even realize your move

[Duane petrie @sduane]

@DrFrankTurek Yes, seen it.

Only response I hear is “Holy Spirit and a demon can’t be in the same vessel.” Not sure where this comes from—not a verse.

By that logic sin and the Holy Spirit shouldn’t be able to dwell in the same vessel either. Clearly they do (unfortunately)

[Duane petrie @sduane]

@JonnyRoot_ @DrFrankTurek By this logic, Christians cannot sin either. How can the Holy Spirit be in the same vessel as sin?

Old Covenant Church?

Many are slowly beginning to comprehend the profound cleavage that’s occurring today in how folks understand “Church.”

The Old Covenant was a revelation about God – His nature and precepts – with a tabernacle/temple where people could go to find His presence and a priesthood to help get right with Him.

This is like many churches today, which do a wonderful job teaching us about the Lord, providing a place and an environment for us to experience His presence, and serving as a bridge between God and His people.

Many are content to “go to church” to learn about God, feel His presence, and have an anointed and appointed pastor and his worship team mediate from the front. It would be dishonest to deny that those can be truly affirming experiences.

But in the New Testament, is that still what God commands for us?

The Cross ushered in a New Covenant, which now is about God in us so that He is expressed through us. Through you, and through me. It is no longer a passive, externally-directed and mediated experience.

For example, church ceases to be a place where we go to have mediators invoke His presence among us or bring us into His presence. It is no longer half sing-along and half lecture. It also ceases to be a platform for the anointed and appointed few.

Rather, from a New Covenant perspective church starts becoming an expression of the dynamic, vibrant and transformational reality of His presence in us – each and everyone.

Furthermore, the expression of Jesus in me is going to look very differently than Jesus in you, because He created us with different gifts.

Yet valuing those differences – and encouraging them to come forth in our personal lives, our relationships and in our meetings – is essential if we want church to become a local expression of the fully functioning Body of Christ.

Very, very few churches grasp this or provide a framework for this to happen. They are still, in practical terms, acting very Old Covenant.

But once you understand this distinction, your relationship to the Lord and your concept of the church – its meetings, its purpose, its structure, its leadership, and its very flavor – can’t help but fundamentally change.

It might, believe it or not, actually start looking New Testament …

As we gather to minister to each other for the mutual building up of one another through the many diverse gifts God distributes among us.

Otherwise, we will remain stuck in some concept of “Church” …

That’s just so Old Covenant.

@HGridley51355 @michaelmalice Malice is ALWAYS trolling. Once you know that, you’ll see where you just fell into his trap

[Duane petrie @sduane]

@johnkonrad Each girl has two parents. That’s 750,000 people personally affected. How many brothers and sisters close to the girls? There’s more several hundred thousand. Ya’ll in the comments blaming your government when I’m wondering where are the millions personally affected standing up?

@DBCooperTX He calls him “Lord” before he even knew his name: “Who are you, Lord?” (Acts 9:5)

Someone more learned than me can explain if he just meant this as “sir”, but it reads like he recognized this was the Divine immediately in the encounter
