James C Schultz commented on Doug Bennett's blog post 'More on Evangelicalism, Fundamentalism and the Bible'"I have talks with God all the time about the possibility I am being deceived by what I think He is showing me.

James C Schultz replied to Howard Brod's discussion 'Let's Get Real' in the group Liberal Quakers"I have only been a member of two quaker monthly meetings so Idon't know how most liberal meetings are.

"Thank you, Friend James. You speak my mind.
I agree there seems to be a growing Spirit moving us toward greater Love. There is an excitement in love-centred evangelists like Rob Bell and Shane Claibourne, the "emerging…"
James C Schultz posted a blog postConsciousness of Love
The bible speaks of the mind of Christ. In 1Co_2:16 we read "For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ." And again in Rom_7:25 Paul writes "I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin." where he tells us it is with this "mind" that we follow the law of God. Slowly but surely I am coming to believe there is a new revival that is breaking loose among…See More
James C Schultz commented on Doug Bennett's blog post 'The Bible As Inspired Work'"So are you discussing the bible or our understanding of the bible? In my mind they are two different things."
James C Schultz commented on Doug Bennett's blog post 'The Bible As Inspired Work'"While I might and I say might argue that the bible is indeed perfect, I don't think anyone (outside the RC church) can argue that anyone's understanding of the bible is perfect or inerrant. I think the word perfect should…"

Soul Festival at Manhasset Quaker Meeting House
5th mo. 11, 2013 from 9:30am to 4pm
Dedicated to raising awareness of our spiritual nature, the Manhasset Monthly Meeting is holding a one day Soul Festival to allow the Light to shine on our souls. Through Quaker worship and contemporary music to food and fellowship, attenders will be given the opportunity to evaluate and in some cases re-evaluate, their lives in a world dominated by materialistic pleasures, desires and needs. Hoping the Light will help us obtain experiential knowledge of our Spiritual nature speakers will…See More

It’s sad but it’s true, his life ended with tears
life’s celebration postponed, because of lost years
his heart was too tender to live with love’s pain
and failed him before he could savor pain’s gain
For like grapes from a vine, that are crushed by a press
our hearts must be squeezed to surrender their best
but too often we run from conflict and pain
and miss the rewards that love’s battles can gain.

I love the Man of La Mancha score. I drove my family crazy playing the album over and over. It's probably ahead of Jesus Christ Superstar and my BJ Thomas christian albums. My spirit soars as I hear "to fight the unbeatable foe, to strive with your last ounce of courage, to dream the impossible dream!" I guess you have to be mad to live that kind of life but isn't that what disciples of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, should be doing? Shouldn't we live and die as lovers, forgiving those…

I love the book "What would Jesus Do". I love the bracelets. We need more of them, but the title of this blog is not meant to stand for What would Jesus Do? but What would Jimmy Do? In this case I'm not asking what would Jesus Christ do but what would Jimmy Carter do if he were president and Dennis Rodman came back from North Korea and said pick up the phone and call your enemy. Based on his post- presidential record I think he would pick up more than a phone. He would pick up Dennis,…
Continue Forest for the trees
Posted on 3rd mo. 4, 2013 at 9:52am 0 Comments 2 Likes
Instead of not seeing the forest for the trees, I have recently come to realize, that the we are in danger of not seeing the trees for the forest. Concerns for the state of the Religous Socienty of Friends overshadows concern for the individual souls of its members and of those who enter its doors. Discussions over what is a Quaker miss the point entirely. When Jesus told his listeners to love their neighbor he was asked who is my neighbor. He then told the parable of the good…
