What is the Shovel Shack about?

Wed, 01/11/2012 - 18:16 -- theShovel

The Shovel Shack is a discussion group centered around Christ, our life. Here are my desires for this group:

  • That we would come to see more and more the openness that exists only in the narrowness of Christ. 
  • That we would come to tolerate the freedom of another, not based upon "freedom of speech", but upon the miraculous reality of Christ. 
  • That we would discover the reality of how our own true freedom in Christ allows us to truly hear beyond the limitations of words and communication skills so that our responses are not merely reactions, but instead, living expressions of hearts set free.
  • That our words would continue more and more to be real expressions of our freed hearts and not to a learned conformity or established pattern of our "persona".
  • That we would stand upon the only real freedom that has ever existed in this world, which is such a miraculous freedom that it keeps turning our world upside down so that we find ourselves strangely concerned about the freedom of another even beyond our own.

We would love to have you join us!
