    “Small Group” behavior… geez, this sounds like many mega-churches I’ve attended!

    Small Groups with people’s opinions instead of God’s final word in the Bible. I stopped going to those. Bring back the old bible study where the Word was read and studied.

    Too funny…but please don’t let our shallow culture impact our fellowship. Remember, in Christ, we are (not could be or maybe) a new creation. Personally, I did not do High school very well and so I am thankful for koinonia that does not judge me on my lack of coins! Pardon the corny humor.
    If we did small groups as producers instead of consumers, we would all grow.

    funny, but true. pain is growth, and growth is needed. Trust in the LORD JESUS CHRIST and grow in him.

    Loved it! Couldn’t stop laughing! Especially loved the comment about growth and growth removal!

    But seriously, I’ve actually attended ‘small groups’ where the Word was almost ignored – not good.

    How true, how true. I’ve been attending various “studies” for 50 years now, and the best Scripture study I experienced so far is at yadayahweh.com We really need to go much deeper than just using dictionaries and Strong’s. I am looking forward to having the Dead Sea Scrolls posted online (soon, I hear) with tools to search, etc. Quite a difference between the DDS and the current English translations.
