Many of the earlier Jesus Folks of the late 60's and 70's had it right.....Love Jesus...but their love fest...often left out dynamic truths from the Bible. <br /><br />Amen to Gospel influencing the Church and the Church enpowered with those spiritual truths influencing the culture...not dead theology, but a living understanding of how God desires for us to not be of this world.....but to live in this world !!!Elder Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045032324381764340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132219789253130273.post-410879317268303182009-05-21T07:21:26.479-05:002009-05-21T07:21:26.479-05:00Agreed Josh, I think the Gospel influencing the ch...Agreed Josh, I think the Gospel influencing the church creates discipleship and greater devotion to Christ.
