Rebecca Hein posted a blog postUnity among Christians is possible
The early Quaker experience shows that unity is possible among those who are listening to Christ. George Fox, founder of the Quaker movement in seventeenth century England, saw that God speaks to all with one voice, and therefore does not contradict himself.When differing points of view on important matters emerged in a Quaker meeting, all present waited for God to show them who was right. Sometimes the task fell to one person to turn the whole group in the right direction, as when the Lord…See More
Patricia Dallmann commented on Rebecca Hein's blog post Why Jesus recommends the Lord’s Prayer"More than 20 years ago, our family was visiting friends in Maine, and when Sunday came, we went to a nearby Protestant church. It was a new experience for our children, then nine and seven years old. When the congregation stood and the minister led…"
Rebecca Hein posted a blog postWhy Jesus recommends the Lord’s Prayer
Almost all Christians incorporate the reciting of the Lord’s Prayer into their worship services. After all, Jesus said, “This is how you should pray,” before speaking the words every believer knows so well. (Matt. 6: 9-13 NIV)However, the preceding passage in Matthew illustrates the reason the Lord’s Prayer is necessary: “[W]hen you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.” (Matt. 6:7) This admonition goes to the root of a…See More

Rebecca Hein posted a blog postThe story of the rich young man
There’s more to the New Testament story of the rich young man than the passage in Matthew 19:16-26 records. This additional information, when I recently learned it, explained many things to me and deepened my understanding of the episode.In brief the story is: A rich young man asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. After Jesus establishes that the young man has kept all the commandments, the man further inquires, “What do I still lack?”“Go,” replies Jesus, “sell your possessions…See More
Rebecca Hein posted a blog postIn Church You Are Safe from God
Church is supposed to be the place where Christians gather to learn from God and to draw closer to Him. However, too often church actually buffers the believer’s possible encounter with God.The crux of really knowing God is listening to Him. Therefore, it’s easy to see how a certain component of a church service is not listening: hymn-singing and group prayers, for example. However, when the sermon is given, the congregation listens. All present assume that the minister is inspired by…See More
