1 | Purpose Driven Life? | Bible general Archive 2 | Norrie | 101842 | ||
What get me is this is our NEW pastor that everyone is so crazy about. We've been having problems w/pastors. Our church had a wonderful pastor for 25 yrs, then he quit to be like a minister to pastors and we were w/o a pastor and had interin for 3.5 yrs. Then we got our next one which I thought was great too, I really liked him also, got his tapes to relisten to sermons even, he left after 2 yrs to be closer to his aging parents. We were w/o pastor for another year, had good interim, then got this one and everybody seems to be bowing down to him. I just never got enthusied and it doesn't look like I will either...esp. after this. He was good before this but I just didn't connect w/him. I don't know, I stuck w/the church thru everything and we got along fine thruout all those years of interims but some people just have to have the real pastor I guess. Attendance is up, more people getting involved so I guess that's good, but still you wonder, are they fair-weather Christians since they didn't hang in thru the interim. |

Dear Norrie, Tim has made some excellent observations and I agree with him up to a point. That point, for me, is when the gospel ceases to be preached. I left my former church because false doctrines were being taught. Worship had degraded into entertainment. Emotionalism was equated with spirituality. I spoke to the pastor, but was not satisfied with his response. It pained me to leave, but I had no choice. I could'nt go there again. I just could'nt bring myself to listen to the man-pleasing drivel any longer! God moved me to a new church. If He wills that you move on (as He did me) you will feel much the same way as I did. You just won't be able to worship there any longer. Trust in Him, John |

I understand what Tim is saying and what you're saying. If it ever gets like you described, I'll be out of there but hopefully it won't. I just can't help but wonder why since he came, the church is so filled/popular-are they coming for him or for Jesus? That pastor is NOT why I go to church, I go for Jesus. It helps to have a preacher who gives the Word the way it should be and we've always had the Word preached, I just don't like it coming from a particular book that's not the Bible and has all those different versions as it's base... | ||||||

"If it ever gets like you described, I'll be out of there". God willing of course... John |
