    Hello from Suomi

    For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. If there are not many Christians in Oulu then you are very needed there. I stayed about a month in Helsinki in 1994. It was winter and the sun would rise after 9 a.m. and set a few minutes after 3 p.m. Since Oulu is farther North...

    When you feel you do not belong ( in a church)

    You're right! Members should not be encouraged to stay home. But it would be nice to see some improvement in the quality of sermons.

    When you feel you do not belong ( in a church)

    What was Sunday/Saturday sermon about?

    Most brothers and sisters in my denomination prefer an offhand sermon, but I myself don't think prepared sermons are not from God. An offhand sermon may come from a carnal preacher, just as a prepared sermon may come from a sincere and faithful servant of God.

    What was Sunday/Saturday sermon about?

    Last Sunday's online sermon, in my church, was about John 1:47. When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.” Jesus didn't say "in him there is no sin"; he said "in him there is no deceit", or hypocrisy. Many Christians strive...
