If you are new to blogging you may want a little info.
The word “blog” is short for “web log.” The basic definition is this:
A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.”
One of the unique aspects of a blog is its interactive nature. Any reader is free to post a comment. The comments not only add to the discussion but shape future blog posts by raising questions and new issues. To some extent, everyone that participates in a blog takes part in the direction that it goes.
Note at the bottom of this blog is the word “comment.” By clicking on that word you can see comments posted by others and you can post a comment as well.
You can keep track of blogs that you read by adding them to you favorites list. But if you read more than one and/or if you like to follow newsfeeds (current news that is regularly updated), then you may want to look at inexpensive programs, such as feed demon, or websites, such as bloglines.com which is free. These allow your blogsites to be read as “feeds.” Current info, or blog updates, that you haven’t yet read are automatically highlighted for you and you can see short excerpts of each. It’s amazing the amount of information that can be scanned this way. Some believe that this will change the way people surf the web.
Also, in the case of this House Church Blog, you can request to be placed on my email list and I will notify you every time this blog is updated:

wots the difference between a chat room and a blog site?
a chat room is a “live” room in that all conversations are taking place between people who are sitting at their computers at the same time “chatting” with each other. The blog is a web-log… more like a journal in which people write their thoughts at whatever time they choose and others can respond at different times. It’s a kind of chat room in slow motion. roger
Does any one have any pictures of the storyboards
in front of their (or any) church?
I am looking for uplifting or cute messages – or where I can look to find any?
Thanks

You surely have one of the most interesting sites in net. I believe in your way of doing, so go on this way. It’ surely the right way.
this is a very interesting site and a good way to get information to Christians all over the world and i think that people should know the truth about the different offshutes of the Christian Churches, eg the Freemasons. I found this information on the web very early in the morning and thought how interesting this information about the Freemasons is interesting but one very interesting part is the symbols and their meanings on the following webpage, all the infomation is there on the homepage, i realy think that everyday Christians need to be aware of these orginisations and what they are going up against now and in the future when Christ returns. here is the web addrese: http://www.nireland.com/evangelicaltruth/freemasonry.html
I love your site. It´s really a pleasure to read through all this interesting stuff and it home.

I have attended church for the past 23 years and have been unplugged from the local church now for about a month. My husband and I read the Bible together and have some contact with other Christians. This is new ground for me as I don’t know what the Lord wants us to do now since we are not attending church as usual. I have been discontented with attending local church for quite some time but did not want to unplug to disobey the scripture “forsake not the assembling of yourselves together”. I feel a little lost as to what to do next. My husband and I are Church right now for us. I’m praying the Lord will show us what to do. I know we need the fellowship of other believers also.
Feeling the nudge of the Holy Spirit to pursue starting a House Church where I live that will welcome the Holy Spirit and The Prophetic.Looking for like minded folks with the same need and interest. Still reading Mega Shift by J. Rutz and am so blown away by this book. I live in North Carolina, the triad area.

When going to house churches and some one argues a lot and someone dominates and the pastor does nothing, how does one handle this. I am tired of regular church, but this discourages me. I have been through too much to bring it up – just want to heal from the storms I’ve been in.
Skylark, I am afraid that part of house church and authentic community is the willingness to bring up concerns with those involved. Learning to do this in healthy, productive ways is part of our transformative journey. I pray peace to you and for your healing.
We have been meeting in homes since 89′. At times, we’ve been part of 30-35 families – a wonderful experience. I cannot understand how anyone who has read the New Testament, and continues to grow can stay in the traditional church.

I’m looking information on how to start a house church from zero. Thank you
I constantly feel The Lord calling me to start a Church in the town of New Britain CT.where I live. I have visited a few of the churches here in New Britain and Newington and used to attend a church in Newington regularly. Being from the south I find it discouraging that there aren’t that many churchs up here to begin with. Any info would be helpful, thank you and God bless you all for your help.
I’m a Bible school teacher and writer, who also pastors a home church. My new release, Gold Tried in The Fire (Creation House), has a chapter promoting small, including home, churches. To purchase a copy, contact my ministry web site (www.greghinnantministries.org). Complimentary copies are available for pastors or other leaders. God bless!
