I mention the delphites from time to time. Those are folks who, like myself, visit Delphi Forums. I go to several forums on the site – three related to the ICoC and ten related to sports board games.
From one of the ICoC forums, a poster identified as Bruford1 says the following:
There is a world of difference between people who love God, and people who love church.
This is listed as one of the lessons he learned from his time in the ICoC. I wish I had thought of that. I agree with it as a standalone statement. It seems to be true from my experience with the 700 Club, ICoC, and other groups.
In case you were wondering, my list was
- Those that pretend to speak for God do more damage than those that reject God.
- Power Corrupts. Power still corrupts. Nice power corrupts nicely.
- God is bigger than I can imagine. He will not be put into a box.
- My life is mine, even as a Christian. He gave it back to me because He trusts me.
- Follow the money.
- Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.
- All politics is local.
It’s an incomplete list. I should also have added the two things from a previous post about the good of the ICoC.
