That's what I meant.

The gospel is that Jesus died and rose again, to set us free from sin. Well, that's it in a nutshell.

So You Don't Want To Go To Church Anymore
So You Don't Want To Go To Church Anymore
There a really cool website that puts this phenominon in perspective...and it does it in the form of a story.
Chapter 10 has just been posted recently...but I really can relate to the main character.
Heres the link. Since this is a book I really don't expect any kind of response soon...but it would be nice to discuss it sometime in the future...
So...you don't want to go to Church anymore
Enjoy!

Lucky, I just noticed your new user title. :chuckle:
I tried to give you some rep points for it but lo and behold...
"You must spread some around before giving them to Lucky again" :blabla:
I don't even remember giving you any yet.

We have this mega-church here in the city I live in. They have the huge building, youth center, book store, coffee shop. It's real showy, and they do believe and preach the gospel, but it's too much. People get too comfortable with all their temporal pleasures, including nice buildings, fancy worship music services, etc. My son goes to some of their youth functions, and he tells me about all the drugs and stuff going on up there. There's too many kids to keep up with. I think when a church starts getting too big, then another sister church needs to be planted.
Is anyone here a listener of Harold Camping's call in show on the Family Life Network ? His focus is that we have reached the end of the "church age" and that churches are superfluous.

I got about halfway through chapter one when I came across this:Lucky said:
"And with all that love, [Jesus] was completely honest. Yet even when his actions or words exposed people's darkest motives, they didn't feel shamed. They felt safe with him. His words conveyed not even a hint of judgment, simply an entreaty to come to God and be freed by him. There was no one you would trust more quickly with your deepest secrets. If someone were going to catch you at your worst moments you'd want it to be him.
"He wasted no time mocking others, nor their religious trappings."
:doh:"He wasted no time mocking others, nor their religious trappings."
I read the first two chapters, last night.logos_x said:

To go to church or not. That is a difficult question. I have gone regularly during some times and others have not. Church is about fellowship and helping one another. That is needed. But I cannot find a church that I can agree with their doctrinal statement 100%. So I feel I have to keep my mouth shut on some issues and that limits fellowship. But an organization has to have its positions or you have chaos. We do need organizations to run outreach/missions and that comes through churches.
