Welcome!

This is a community for those who are discovering that grace is more than forgiveness, more than being real about our mess. Grace is the staggering gift of a restored heart -- a good and noble heart. You are more than you think.

On THE GOOD & NOBLE HEART Community, you can connect with others who get it: who understand that Christianity is about the heart; not about spiritual heaviness and pressure to be a better Christian. The message of Jesus is about a restored, supernaturally-good and noble heart.

Go connect!

Meredith -- the church as an institution, in general, doesn't have many self-feeders. It's sad.

Meredith replied to Jim Robbins's discussion 'MISLEADING CHRISTIAN CATCH PHRASES'

Okay....how about this one.... "You need to come to Bible study to get fed..." At the end of this phrase I always metally added the word "up". I wonder if that plays on the whole sheep idea...never really got what they were getting at....

Hi Fadeke -- so true. There's a lot of zeal without knowledge -- operating on wrong assumptions about Jesus' offer and apprenticeship in his kingdom.

Exactly, David. If we only knew we were so thoroughly delighted-in, we wouldn't have any need for pride.

Don't you just love how people love to puff one another up and make being a believer about earning brownie points? All I think of when I hear this is the scriptural warning about seating yourself at the head of the table ... and then being asked t...

Hey David, when I was in the "professional ministry" way back when (ugh), we even hired a church growth consultant who wrote a book called, Growing Spiritual Redwoods. Mega-church mania.

How 'bout... "They're a spiritual giant..."

Hey Joe. Roberts Rules of Order are used when we don't know how to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit working in our hearts. Love it.
