It is interesting to note that secular approaches have embraced an approach to confrontation that mirrors church discipline. It is technically called intervention. In essence it says that we can no longer wait for people to destroy themselves and others. They must be presented with the facts about their problem. They are out of touch with reality and need others to present it to them. Furthermore, this is best done by a group of people who deeply love the substance abuser. Curiously, intervention is hailed as one of the most significant advances in drug treatment. Yet church discipline is the original and intervention the imitator.

A DELUGE OF MAIL - A MISTAKE AT SERMON SEEDS

Hello Friends,
 
As you probably know, we have switched list servers from Yahoo to welovegod.org.  In the process I have inundated with mail and technical things to deal with.  My other list, pastormail, is a discussion list. There is participation by all who want.  On this list, Sermon Seeds, there is to be no such discussion.
 
What I thought were messages to pastormail turned out to be messages to sermon seeds, which would have never made it to you, if I realized what was happening.  Please forgive me and the situation. I will try to not let it happen again.
 
Yours for the Master,
 
 
Jack Peters
