Subject: How many local churches have you tried? |
Bible Note: Well, my old church was more traditional based. My new church is more of a street ministry outreach. I don't think it is so much the differences in the church, as it is the difference in me. There were plenty of areas at my old church where I was asked, lead, and did, step up to serve, but many times it seemed to be human effort based instead of Spirit lead. Our church services are much different, with a time of praise and worship and a time of serious “in the Word” Bible teaching/preaching, in which I lead at times. I would say my new church is more Spirit lead, and less tradition, program, and committee lead. My new church accepts the gifts of the Spirit and there operation and function according to scriptural guidelines. My old church tried to suppress and deny any so-called “sign gifts”. My new church encourages God centered praise and worship. My old church was happy with that “old time religion.” Nothing wrong with that, except for the “that’s good enough for me” attitude that often goes along with it! retxar |
