Subject: Worshiptainment |
Bible Note: Hi, N.C.; They got the name wrong. It's the Lite Family Faith Center of the valley. "Church" turns people off. Gotta get those "seekers" in with smoke and mirrors. That said, it rubs me the wrong way when people like Dave Wilkerson utter blanket condemnations of "our churches ...". Maybe "their" churches have "lost the power"; ours hasn't. My congregation is part of a mainline denomination that is stumbling toward liberalism and confusion (pardon the redundancy!). Yet we are reminded weekly that we are there to worship God, not to be entertained or to feel better about our shortcomings. Our allotment of pew-warmers is filled; new members will have to get involved in our ministries. And we are growing while the denomination shrinks. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
