Some would suggest that Jesus was “seeker sensitive” in that He worked His miracles in order to attract large crowds to which He could share the gospel. But in several passages it is plain this is not His motive: Mark 5:43; 7:36; 8:26, 30; and Luke 4:9-12 (and these are by no means exhaustive). Clearly, Christ did not intend these miraculous works for public exploitation. There is little to indicate Christ worked miracles in order to draw a crowd. He was opposed to selling the gospel by appealing to their love for the sensational. (See Jn. 2:23-25)… He sharply rebuked the five thousand for seeking Him for merely physical satisfaction. Jesus did not teach us to draw people to Him by appealing to their senses. Instead He claimed full responsibility for drawing all to Himself by way of the cross (Jn. 12:32); therefore, exalting Christ, "and Him crucified," is to be the primary object in worship, as well as evangelism. (See Rev. 5:8.)

Hi All,

Thought I would share what works well for me, in case this solution would
work for others as well.

I have created a cryptic hotmail account ( h70k580@hotmail.com )

This account is set up to receive individual churchbass mailings.

In outlook express under tools:accounts you can add hotmail ( and other )
accounts.

I have an inbox under local folders that my regular SMTP mail goes to,
paul@follmer.com, Jacque@follmer.com, etc.

I have another set of folders under h70k580@hotmail.com that all of my
churchbass email goes to.

I can easily keep track of what messages I have read, regardless if I am
checking them from home, or work. I don't need to set up rules as the
h70k580 account is for churchbass use only.

I have set up my paul@follmer.com account to postpone, so I can still post
to churchbass from that account.

I love being able to sort by both thread or date. This is how I was set up
before the listserve migration, and after trying rules, etc to keep things
organized, this is the way that I found really works for me.

Note, setting up a cryptic email is essential for hotmail to avoid spam ( I
get none on this account )

HTH
Paul
