:thumbsup::thumbsup: We cannot obey most of the Nt one anothering commands when we do remote viewing....

Galatians 6:2
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Ephesians 4:2
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

Ephesians 4:25
Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

1 Thessalonians 5:11
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Hebrews 3:13
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Hebrews 10:24
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:Hebrews 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Romans 15:14
And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

Hebrews 13:7


7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

 

We live stream our services and have many people who tune in and watch. There are also archived immediately so they can be seen later.

We love our live stream. It helps keep some people connected and we have a large amount of first time guests who check us out this way before stepping on campus. Our shut-ins especially love this aspect of our ministry.

However, we tell our regulars that nothing replaces physical proximity for fellowship. One of the challenges with live streaming a service is that eventually some people realize they can just sit on the couch and never connect with anyone in a meaningful way. That is a bad thing. So we encourage those who can attend regularly to do so.

 

No, we've recorded IPs from all 50 states, Canada, and about a dozen countries.

 

You know, we've never set a specific range or mileage. In general we would say so long a person can make it to our Sunday services with some degree of regularity we recognize their membership.

We use a covenant membership model in which we hold our members accountable for their involvement and support just like they hold us accountable for stewarding the provision we've been given.

Its a good point. I guess I would say that we would expect them to be able to make it to our campus within an hour or so. We are positioned in a major metro area and Sundays are pretty open on the roads so that could put them about 40 miles away or so.

Its a good question.

 

Elder Mike Slone(old regular on here), the church he is asst. mod. at, has a website that you might enjoy. They are ORB, who lean towards the PB's in their beliefs. Here are two links that should work:

www.oldregular.com

or

www.cumberlandbooks.com/oldregular

I'm not for sure which one works right now, so try both of them. Plus they have a bunch of lined-out songs you may enjoy.......

 

What is your distance parameter to assemble with others who share your beliefs?

 

I'm currently in the process of planting a new church for the Deaf in west Texas. To our knowledge there are no other churches for the Deaf from Lubbock to the north to San Antonio to the south and from Fort Worth in the east to El Paso in the west - a huge area with several hundreds or possibly thousands of Deaf. So our vision is to start in the "middle" and branch out - in essence a regional church.

Part of the ministry will be using archived videos of my sermons as an outreach. We do plan to spend time in the outlying communities attempting to plant churches there - most of the communities I can reach in 45 minutes to an hour easily, so it's not too far to go to pastor the people.

I suppose we're trying to replicate the "circuit riders" of the old days, but it sure is nice to have video to fill in those gaps.

 

Telivised church services are a great GREAT blessing! There are 2 or 3 that I watch quite a bit. You just cant get too much good teaching, be it in the assembly, or on tv.

Or the Radio. I listen to a lot of radio teaching broudcasts

 

Church that I attend is 32 miles from my home.
