What a great teleconference we had tonight! We encourage those who were unable to join us to listen in on the recorded session by dialing 218/237-3850 and use access code 124393 and Recording number 102611.
I thank you for your ever-mounting interest as we continue creating a community of what I can best describe as finders-seekers.
God knows we like to be part of something bigger than ourselves. It is a part of His thinking – His design for each of us. He created us to seek new beginnings, to ask “why,” to think, to find, to act upon the reality and the glory of His eternal Word.
Your stories, our stories: some end of the road stories, some turn around prickly stories – we are an odd mismatch of beauty and pain.
We are SeekerFinders entangled together – not in a barbwire maze but within a community of faithful and disenfranchised, all at different stages of finding, yet all still seeking. FinderSeekers all.
We remain committed to you, to the growth of this community, and to helping you find God in the world. Together we can make an impact in the marketplace that comes from being bearers of Christ, spreading His fragrance wherever we go. And who is equal to this task? We all are, because God has made us adequate as servants of His new covenant.
As we seek to help you to this end, we ask that you might be generous with your gifts at this time. The scriptures encourage those who are taught to share all good things with their teachers. It’s a mutual relationship and we are looking to you for financial support.
We are full of gratitude to you and wish you would invite others to join our on-line citizens as fellow shareholders in the lives of many, where the yield is a greater connection between each other and thus a greater impact in the world.
John Fischer The Catch 
Cat Stevens could very easily have been expressing his Muslim faith. The Koran repeatedly emphasizes that there will be a judgment day, day when all have to answer, and one place calls it the sorting day. It does declare they will have light and gardens and wonderful things for those who believe, and accept ALL of the messengers Allah is supposed to have sent. That includes Jesus but is a completely different message, denying He is the Son of God, that He is deity, that He died on the cross for us, that He intercedes for us. In fact it denies any can carry the punishment for others sins, or that anyone can intercede for another. It softens that with saying, without Allah’s permission, but although it allows that Jesus was sinless, it does not accept that the creator would accept his efforts. (At some points it suggests Mohammed could, but mostly he is listed as a warner who is to be obeyed here.) However, the requirement for Islam is that Mohammed must also be accepted as the messenger, and accepting only part of them is not okay. And you must not “associate partners” with the Almighty, such as believing in the Trinity. The Christians in the Koran that are the “good ones” only believe in him as a man. The gospel IS clearly presented in the Koran, but mostly it is by what the bad guys say. And those are sometimes called the Unbelievers, the Hypocrites, or the People of the Book (which sometimes includes Jews.) You have to read in the context. And they say God has a Son…(then ridicule it as if we believe in a Zeus like god who molested Mary. And they say they have an intercessor. And they say Jesus the son of Mary was crucified, but they crucified him not. And the People of the Book are told to stop saying Trinity. These points are consistently placed throughout the Koran, so anyone who has read it will have no excuse to claim they never heard the good news. Though the Koran calls theirs the great news!
Thanks for the “inside” look!
