How many more times does God have to shout to me over and over that I am suppose to be a member of TimberLake from Tacoma???? This isn’t possible but I can’t see how another church body is better for me or another church leader speaks or moves me. I think God wants me to be superhuman powerful and I am slowly amping up through Pastor Ben’s words…….sooooo….please God just tell me where to go?? I want to move mountains in Tacoma but I don’t have a church to do it through. Everytime I log on the first thing I read is exactly what I need at the exact time in my moment. Don’t you think that means something? Maybe TLCF needs to do something down here?

Stephanie,

I think we have a fix with the online feed for now. We do have the messages available on CD as well.

Is this why I haven’t been able to get online feed? Will you be putting it on CD?

Um… i get it. Wierd stuff…. dont be fake?! Thats how I take it. I dont think Ben is saying you cant be wierd. I mean, come on, there are a lot of wierd people at church. Its not a bad thing. But, I think he means, dont be fake or judgemental. Just be real, dont be a butthead, be accepting of others, ect. We come to church to learn about God, look for guidence, search for answers that we will never find because people live by fear(i dont care what you say… you live by fear in one way or another everyday)… ect. Blah, Blah, Blah.

Ben, Im with you. No wierd stuff!!!

Good job!! How’s it going? I could use a buddy to do something like that with. I don’t think Brian would be willing; I’m not sure how good my will power would be by myself. I’m sooo thankful for the Holy Spirit!!!
It’s hard for me to imagine you going without caffeine.
Say hi to Terri & Abby for me. =]
God’s continued blessings on you all, Nancy

While I understand you wanting a place that is safe and comfortable for people, (which is how I’m interpreting this so correct me if I’m wrong), what if God wants to show up in a different, less comfortable way? Are you saying that if it’s uncomfortable or out of the box that we have created for how God looks, it can’t be God? Or just that at Timberlake, we are not OK with God showing up that way? Would you tell him “no” if he wanted to? The reason I ask is because before we moved I was part of a church that was fairly comfortable… with relevant messages and relevant musical worship (well…expressive worship, lifting hands which maybe is uncomfortable for some..some people did this, others didn’t and actually it was fine either way which was honestly refreshing). Then God started showing up in more out of the box ways with some people weeping, some falling after prayer, etc. Along with it…repentance, restored relationships, amazing testimonies of healing, more people coming to Christ, more deep joy, and I realized through witnessing all of this is that sometimes God offends our American minds in order to fully get our hearts. Then I also realized I needed to trust God enough that if this is how He chose to show up, He would also make sure to cover those that witnessed it. So I guess what concerns me sometimes about a safe church is that I don’t want to be protected from God. Does that make sense at all?

I guess I am trying to be a bit “politically correct ” in not calling out what I consider weird. I still don’t feel led to call it out specifically. I would say, you know it when you see it and if you have not seen it, you are blessed.
