Cultivating Fellowship Within the Church: Exchanged Life Discipleship: Eddie Snipes

My husband Eddie has a new post up on his discipleship blog called 'Cultivating Fellowship within the Church' which he also preached at church on Sunday. This subject has been very important to us lately, as we feel that the church today has largely neglected this aspect of Christianity, which is commanded by the Lord. We are His body, and we must fellowship with Him and with each other in love.

A Conversation Between A Catholic (Leo) and A Protestant (Me)

Leo and I have been having an interesting conversation in the com box of this post. Leo is concerned for me because I am no longer Catholic; I am concerned for him because he doesn't see that I don't need to be Catholic to be a Christian. The church is not what Leo thinks it is, I think.
UPDATE: I would also add that if Leo is trusting in the Catholic Church as his salvation, as might be inferred by the fact that he thinks there is no salvation outside of it, then I am very concerned for his salvation too. We must trust in Christ alone and come to Him by faith, not to the Catholic Church. We don't come to Christ through the Church, but to the church through Christ.

Francis Beckwith: ETS Shows Sympathies for the Catholic Canon: aomin.org/James Swan

Here's a blog post by James Swan on aomin.org about Francis Beckwith related to his views on the proof for the Roman Catholic Canon.
CORRECTION: My explanation of Francis Beckwith's statements was inaccurate. He was not attempting to prove the Catholic Canon, but was "assessing the ETS statement of belief and whether a Catholic could sign it in good conscience."

On Disciples and Believers: Part 1: Drunken Mystic

Britt Mooney has a new post up called 'On Disciples and Believers Part 1' that is very good. He writes about how modern Christianity propagates a false teaching that one can be a believer without being a disciple: one can 'just believe' without living the faith.

Wash One Another's Feet: John 13

What did Jesus mean here? How do we do this?
Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean"....So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet."
Jesus also says "For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them."
If we want to be blessed, how do we wash each other's feet? I don't think it's a one-time thing, nor even literally washing each other's feet. I think Jesus was talking about a day to day thing, that has to do with helping each other be clean from our daily 'travels' in which we pick up 'dust' from the road along the way. How?
