So tonight i went to frontline in arlington. it was a lot smaller scale than frontline at McLean, so it was much more like the size of large group back at Va Tech.
i'm not really sure what a typical service there looks like though, because this was a special service. the whole theme of the evening was the book of Philippians. through some different ways we read the entire book. it was good to read scripture in its entirety, rather than just selected verses at a time.
also there was worship woven into the readings that was applicable to the verses being read. i really felt like it was what i needed. i've gotten some scripture, but i haven't gotten the corporate worship aspect lately.
so all in all, i really liked the service and i'll have to go back next week and see what the regular services are like.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
-philippians 4:8-9

You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. -Romans 8:9-10

Hello brother,
God's Word is so powerful and last night was an incredible reminder of that. I thank the Lord that He brought you there last night and you enjoyed it. Please come up and introduce yourself next week. I lead the Connect meeting after service. If you need anything in the meantime send me an email, edward.hunt@mcleanbible.org.
Your brother in Christ,
Edward Hunt

jeremy! i had to do an update on all of your posts...i hadn't read in a while. sounds like you're still adjusting to this semester. i'm glad you found a church that might be a good fit for you.
in response to w(holy) discontent, i am right here in glenwood and have had the same feelings as you. i struggle all the time with a good chunk of my life being completey unrelated to loving the poor. but remember that conviction is from Christ but guilt and condemnation are not! His mercies are new to allow us more opportunities to obediently love others. thanks for the good reminders.
p.s. "You know, if my dog was as ugly as you. I'd shave his butt and tell him to walk backwards." ah, the sandlot...
