Living your faith all the time, showing & including your children, accountability, support -- so many things!<br /><br />As far as needing a pastor to make sure you don't slide from "church doctrine", (from the article you had the link too)...well, JP & I talked about that. There are SO many different denominations in this country. And around the world. Christian congregations argue about everything from infant baptism vs baptism when someone makes a commitment. Do you "sprinkle" or "dunk" when you baptized? Do you ordain women? Or forbid them from speaking/teaching even in a small group? <br /><br />Is any of that really important? <br /><br />So, hold strong & fast and have a true fellowship in your house church.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211974020748392216.post-14094716738002478392011-04-29T14:31:18.220-04:002011-04-29T14:31:18.220-04:00Lauren,

I can't believe how quickly your kids are changing -- I miss you! Tim's church used to have fellowship houses when he was in college which sounds similar to what you are doing. I guess though it is somewhat between house church and small groups as it is still attached to an institutional church. Thanks again for posting!<br />Love,<br />LoriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
