2005-12-04-1830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this evening December 4th, 2005 in the 6:30 service.Scripture Ref: I Corinthians 2; James 5:13-18; Acts 5Topic: The ChurchNotes:- American church is abnormal- Paul preached a simple message, not to impress, that our faith be in the power of God- Bad assumptions made in the body of Christ: 1.    fervor = fanaticism (if you lack fervor, you lack spirit)2.    the church belongs to the community3.    teaching is a substitute for (more important than) prayer4.    strong, desperate, pointed preaching is unnecessary, uncompassionate- You can't love anyone or anything more than Jesus- You cannot be a saint and live in sin
