Purpose

This blog's purpose is to discuss several themes of being a Christian in our post modern times. One is the personal spiritual journey seeking the Kingdom of God. Second, an account of experiences as workers in the harvest field (Luke 10:1-3). Third and probably not last, sharing experiences as we chase the Wild Goose (Celtic expression for Holy Spirit) as revolutionary disciples of Jesus.

You reader are encouraged to be part of the conversation.

The name of this blog fellowship Xp needs some explaining. Most of you reading this would have seen the movie or have read the book by J. J. R. Tolkien, Fellowship of the Ring. The term fellowship in this context is a small group united in common purpose. In the case of Frodo's band of adventurers, they were united in purpose in assisting Frodo get the ring to Mordor. In our case the fellowship is a group of disciples of Jesus following His Spirit in advancing the Kingdom of God.

The XP is not the prior version of Micro Soft hardware. It is the the Greek letters Chi (X) and Rho (P) from the Greek work Christos or Christ. It's the second oldest Christian symbol used by followers of Jesus Christ. The fish <>< symbol or ichthus being the oldest. The cross actually came later.

Now here comes the tricky part. It's pronounced fellowship in Christ, not fellowship 'x' 'p'. Saint Paul writes often in in his epistles of being 'in Christ'. So we are a fellowship in Christ.
