Subject: Which Church is the right one? |
Bible Note: Good response, CDBJ, and if you were "soapboxing" it seems to me at least that you were on the right box! Years ago when my family and I were newcomers to town, a pastor from a certain "upscale" church we'd visited called on us in our home. He was cordial and affable, and I remember still the way he kept referring to the church as the excellent "campus" that provided such great "facilities." offered such a variety of "programs," and had such a marvelous "vision" of the future. I really began to wonder whether he was inviting us to join his church or matriculate in the local college! I fail to recall a single instance in which he exalted the name of Jesus or even mentioned His name. Later I discovered that this pastor was quoted as saying that his church was so blessed to have so many leaders of the community among its membership. Well, the bottom line is that we chose not to unite with this church and through the years have had no occasion to regret our decision or to return to this church even for a visit. --Hank |
