Complaining!

When we complain about things in our church family, is it because things aren't the way they should be, or is it because we don't want to have to do things that inconvenience us? Being inconvenienced is a part of our lives in our world and we complain, but the things of the church have been thought out and planned for the good of the church and those who are thinking of becoming a part of our spiritual family. It isn't about the individual, but the whole. Are you a part of the whole or an individual who puts their desires first.

From all I can find, when we seek our desires over the needs of our church family we make our family dysfunctional. I don't think God wants any church family to be dysfunctional.

I'll see you later!

Amazed

As a minister I have had ample opportunities to be amazed at some of the thing that have happened to friends and family in the churches where I have ministered.

Amazement doesn't even get close to depicting the feeling that I have when I look around at how hard the liberal anti Christ movement is moving against Christianity. So I have decided to publish these ideas and or questions that I have concerning those who want to destroy Christianity and those who claim Christ as their God and Savior.

1. My faith may not be as deep as those who are claiming God doesn't exist. (After all, neither of us can produce physical proof that what we are claiming is right or wrong. Therefore, I chose to believe in God and they do not. They have faith in what they believe the same as I do. In fact their faith may be stronger than mine or many of my Christian family.)

2. The sharing of my faith is not dependent on someone else's faith. (Everyone has the right, God given by the way, to believe what they want without having to align with anyone else.)

3. If you believe that you have to defend yourself and your belief with argumentative attitudes then I do not believe you are comfortable in what you believe. (I don't have to get angry when someone disagrees with me or can not handle the fact that I am not going to get into a argumentative debate with you over it.)

4. Time will tell! (I think that when we die then we will know the truth of the matter. To bad we can't come back and tell anyone else about it. Wait, Jesus did that I believe. But you know what I mean.)

5. Coexisting doesn't mean I must accept your beliefs. (All of us as adults can sit down and discuss our views. Whether or not we do that is up to us. However, just because I am not arguing with you doesn't mean I agree with you or accept what you do in your life that goes against my beliefs.)

6. Not all "Christians" share the same ideas concerning the Bible. (Just like there are those who interpret the constitution and laws that rule the world differently there will always be those who agree toward God's word who differ, and majorly sometimes, in the interpretation of that word.)

Thanks for reading.
I'll see you later!
