About Us
- Lamp & Light Church
- This blog is published by the members of Lamp & Light Church, a "church without walls" based near Orlando, Fla. Our church is an unaffiliated ministry with members from several denominations. What makes us different and unites us is our hunger for the deeper truths (or "meat") of the Word. Lamp & Light Church was founded by the late pastor and author Gary T. Whipple. To find out more about our church, visit LampandLightChurch.org.
I love the blog. We can also use this page to post up prayer requests for each other
ReplyDeleteJust because a Christian goes from church to church doesn't spell complacency. I usually tire of the same old "milk messages," so moving around the country affords us the opportunity to see who's preaching what. Having known Gary personally, I'm reminded of something he said. To paraphrase, "Once we know the deeper things, we'll find such liberty in our faith that we have to avoid becomeing a libertine." To me, it means, as Paul said (paraphrasing again), "All things are lawful but not all things are expedient." Too many Christians have become arthritic in thinking they've found the true path and lose out on enjoying their walk with God and Jesus. Cultural bias isn't Christian. While I don't consider myself ecumenical, I have found that opening my mind to diverse thinking, while maintaining a keen eye toward the deeper things, helps me to identify with our "lostness" outside of Christ and to hone my message to others.
