hurst's deliverance bible church prides itself on being a home for outcasts, radical in their obedience to the teachings of Jesus. (dmn) story
i find this a greatly encouraging article/interview. it's so interesting how the church is always the same base with different cultures and demographics to suit its body a.k.a. those who are searching for acceptance and a home in Christ. and i'm loving how the recognition of that very concept is being voiced...maybe it always has been, but it seems like it has become more mainstream in the past few years. all around me i have noticed (as well as personally experienced) a desire to come back to the "basics" of Christianity - what really matters. i find the current spread of that desire very encouraging. but like i said, maybe it's just me as i have just in the past couple years started to become aware of this...but i love it. and i would hope that i become involved in (and stay involved with for the rest of my life) a body of Christ-followers who desire to make their community a home for those who are in dire need of one - whatever that may look like...
