Church and mission 11/30 Love the anabaptists!
I love the anabaptist definition of the nature of church. It is made up of believers who are supposed to live in a particular way. The emphasis is on faith and a lifestyle that reflects that faith. It has nothing to do with the state and everything to do with the cross. Last year in April we had the opportunity to visit the Amish and Mennonite Center in Berlin, OH and viewed a cyclorama of Anabaptist history called Behalt It is a wall to wall picture history of the Anabaptist movement (Amish, Mennonites, and Hutterites). Behalt means "remember" and remembering these saints who gave their lives in testimony to Jesus inspires me to give mine as well.

Amen brother. They were willing to give all for Christ when it was easier to compromise. May God grant us to do as they did and live like they lived, for the glory of God alone.
