   어쩌면 그들은 당신 진실을 듣는 주어졌다. 저것은 우리가 모르몬 교도 배경이 있던 우리의 그룹은에서 대략 1개를 알아낸 무슨이라고이다. 우리가 알아낼 때, 우리는 수상한 신념의 이 사람이 우리의 중앙에서인 작았다 "miffed". 그 후에, 우리는 느리게 발견해 그녀가 진짜로 정당했다는 것을 그녀를 위한 약간 진실을 위로 조였다는 것을 생활을 찾는. 우리는 우리가 그를 알고 있었다, 예수 그리고 밝아진 그녀에 관하여 그녀에게 말했다.

   언젠가 후에, 그녀는 우리가 그녀를 피하지 않았기 때문에 그녀가 그녀에서 다른 무언가를 보고, 그녀와 신념에 관하여 변론한ㄴ다는 것을 저희에게 말했다. 대신 싸워서로 그녀 역행시켜서 그녀로 그녀 그녀가 누구를 위해인지 그녀가 알고 있던 무슨에 안락했던 그녀가 (모르몬교), 우리가 그녀를 후에 넘어진 구석 사랑하고, 예수에 관하여 그녀에게 우리는 말해 알고 있었다.

   사람들은 사랑에 있는 진실에 반응하고, 노예의 신분으로 그들을 두는 종교에서 자유를 찾아낼 수 있다. 그들은 그들을 가진 우리의 시간 이내에, 또는 즉시 주변에 오지 않을지도 모른다. But the seeds of love, properly planted, often grow and mature.

   I like your blog, I will be back often!

   Stay well!

   Mark, I’d be careful about scarring them off without talking with them first. We had a woman in our church who was really into new age stuff and it freaked me out at first. She would say really bizarre things and people would just look at me to see what I’d say. I never validated her beliefs, but I never ridiculed them either. I used the opportunity to open her up to what she was really searching for. Over time, Christ won out. We’ve also had Jews, Muslims, atheists and Wiccans come to Ld. You want to be a missional church? Welcome to the mission field. This is what its all about. I see no reason to scare them away. Just don’t validate what they say.

   I appreciate what you are saying. But they came specifically to recruit. And they came to house group meetings and tried to dominate the conversations. They are firmly entrenched in the moonie organization. These aren’t merely naive people who are a bit deceived. They are involved as deeply as you can get. In fact there is a picture on their website of them with Mr. Moon.

   This was a situation where they were intentionally coming to recruit people into their organization, not merely trying to have dialogue. In such a situation, it seemed unwise to have them attending a house gathering. I am very much open to people with different beliefs coming to our gatherings. I would enjoy that very much. But it is another thing entirely when missionaries from a cult organization are specifically trying to recruit.

   Wow!

   I can beat that, though. Friends of mine took over a church somewhere and found out that the worship leader was a moonie!

   I once heard Greg Boyd say that they had a witch coming to their church for two years and they didn’t even know it. She would come on Sundays and put curses on him as we was preaching. Eventually, after two years, she came to Christ. Interesting stuff.

   A witch can attend Woodland Hills for two years and not get noticed because ANYBODY can attend a gathering of over 1,000 people and not get noticed. She can attend because it’s not a problem. She has no dialogue with the sermon, she doesn’t get to submit spells to be chanted during worship, etc. However, when your gathering consists of between 5-15 people, eating together in a house and participating in a dialogue meant to be centered around Christian teaching, for the benefit of the believers and to pique the interest of the non-believers, spending long periods of time every night listening to the beliefs of a post-Christian cult is neither productive nor acceptable.

   Gee, Christ, what isn’t a post-Christian cult nowadays? ;o)

   Oops - that’s meant to say “Chris” not “Christ.”

Got something to say?
