2 | I need to know if this is a cult? | Titus | Makarios | 8382 | ||
Hello donnag! Good question! Are there divisions within your small church? There is no problem with meeting within someone's home. I know many Amish families that do that very same thing. The real question is: Are you being spiritually fed at this church? Does the church follow the Word of God? What does this church accomplish as a body of Christ? Are there ways of 'reaching out' to the community as a church family? What is your feeling about this church after you pray? These are some 'searching' questions that you may want to ask yourself. Starting a brand new church is a blessed thing! But there are many pitfalls that the enemy will throw into your path, and your church must be on the 'lookout' by diligently keeping within the Word of God. Hopefully your 'group' of six people can begin to expand in their vision and have an 'identity' together.. Does your church have a name? It doesn't matter how large or small a church is, God can still use it! God can still draw people into it, and there needs to be some growth in your church as evidence of the spiritual growth of the members involved. But this is not always the case! There may be other reasons why your church doesn't grow. Your church is fragile here, and needs to begin growing a lot! If it is not growing, then there are some issues that need to be addressed in a "Pastor/Parish relations commitee" :) or in a 'church meeting'. That way, you can bring out some of the very things that are holding your church back from growing. Sometimes you just have to be patient. If you know that God has called you to be a part of that church, then just be patient and God will see to it that your church will grow. Be creative and as a church begin to invite people or make yourselves visible to the community. You said that 'not too many people can get along with her' in reference to your woman pastor. Are there specific reasons why? Blessings, Nolan! |

There are a lot of that find her very controlling and she curses the people we are trying to minister to.I think what I'm trying to say is that I had a dream not too long ago about (Satan worshippers surrounding a building that we were in and in the dream I wasn't allowed to pray for anyone.) I know it might just be a dream but my spirit isn't sitting well with it. | ||||||
4 | Will you tell us more? | Titus | EdB | 8417 | ||
Donnag, You will get a lot of people giving you opinions and I'm amazed how many do so without knowing the complete situation. When you first asked the question you implied you were worried about the size. In this response you mention the pastor curses the people she is trying to minister to and a dream you had. What do you mean she curses the people she is trying to minister to? Does she call them bad names? Does she speak disaster into their lives? Is she not doing what you think should be done? What exactly brought you to the church in the first place? And what is keeping you there? |
