Church's
Just a thought.
I attended a Church for about 12 years, my longest run ever in any Church. I rarely missed a Wednesday or Sunday service, at first loved it. I felt needed there mainly because I felt like there was so many things that we could be doing that we were not doing. In the end this was want got me. If you go into a Church thinking things need to change here or they need to do more. Then most likely you should run from that church is dead. I mean the more folks I seen give there lives to Christ each year there twice that many left that church hurt beaten and battered. I think that is because those leaders those that started that church was hurt by a prior church they attended and have passed those bad things down to this new community attending there. I have heard several ministers and other say that that pastor is hurting and needs to be restored before he hurts anyone else. The more control this pastor has the more lives he ruins.
The cool thing about it is that the church I attend now is nothing like the last and there is not one thing I'd like to change. Nothing I need more of, nothing that i feel is missing. I am being feed well, I am receiving blessings from God and I am able to worship in spirit and truth. There is no one being disruptive during church, no screaming kids, no cell phone going off during service, everyone is respectful, no one comes in late every time they come, no security is needed, no schedules missed, no stress because the other deacons aren't there again, the deacons have always been there at my new church every time I walk in the door I see them first, everyone Carry's a bible here, bible studies are going on before church, and still the pastor teaches as long the the old church did.
Just remember chances are if you feel that the church you have been attending is missing something, hear that the church was formed from some split in another church. Chances are you could be in big trouble. The split off church's will always be talking about those others and how they worship. I have not heard one thing from my new pastor dogging on other church's and how they worship not once. Its all about God, Jesus & His Holy Spirit.
