Hello! Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Movement. We are a community of Jesus followers. We are a diverse people from diverse backgrounds. We meet in Fort Worth on a weekly basis to share life, read scripture, ask questions, and encourage one another. I suppose you could call us an organic church or house church if you're really into labels. But we just want to be known as part of the church scattered around the world.
We welcome anyone and everyone to join us at any time. You're welcome to come and be a tourist and see what this looks like. Or feel free to dive right in and play a role in our community. Our gatherings vary in substance from week to week. We typically share a meal and then spend time talking. The agenda changes each week, but it typically is centered on sharing life, prayer, scripture, and a period of reflection. There is no single leader in charge, instead everyone plays a vital role in bringing something to the table.
If you're interested in meeting with us or just hanging out, leave a comment and let us know. We'll get in contact with you and work something out. We'd love to buy you a drink and have a chat with you. We look forward to crossing paths with you.

i'm interested in your movement. could you please email me info at dani.spano@metrognome.org?
ReplyDeleteThere is a misunderstanding in saying the insufficiency of Jesus, saying "All I need is Jesus" is referring to Salvation. Jesus fills a void we have in our lives. Of course we need people, and as the body of Christ we need to support one another in many ways like encouragement and prayers. All I need is the blood, not works it what they are saying. When we enter heaven our only key is Jesus. If you know him, him whom all power is given, he can exceedling, abundantly above all measure provide. Don;t blame the woes of man on God. If you know him it it not his will that our situations are as such.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous- I think you left this comment on the wrong blog post. But I think your application and explanation of the common phrase misses the point both in the application of the phrase and in the theological implications you put forward. I think anytime you have to add to the phrase when that's not how it's presented, you're really creating a whole new idea. If people are referring to Jesus in salvation, then they would say that. That however is not how it's used or said. And that's most definitely not the context that it's used every day across america in youth groups and pulpits. I'm sure you can qualify the statement like you've done, but then I think you've missed the point of my original post. People use the phrase in every day life and not primarily eschatologically.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, if you'd like to qualify the statement as you have, then I think we've come up short again theologically. We get into some nasty "isms" when we try to break down the trinity to where we just need one part of it. So if you think you can suffice with just Jesus and not Spirit or Father, a grave mistake has been made. Jesus alone is still not sufficient and so the phrase still fails to stand.
I agree, a quick reply is no justice. This is a big subject. "Jesus alone" I guess can be abused by others. But for the believers I know, his blood paid the price. As for trinity, there is one God who reveals himself in three persons. So if I say Jesus is all I need, then I being a temple of the Holy Spirit have all three, because they are one. Remember we baptise in the name of...not the names of. Phillip said show me the father, and Jesus answers as the father. I did not know that ther term, Jesus only was being misapplied across the country. I do know that American Christianity looks like the world and has become entertainment centers. I was passing through looking for a church for a friend, I'll move on. God bless you in your work. We have a wonderful grace, saved by faith.
