Jesus took our Sins. The legalist can’t control you if that gets out

Egad!
That is what I said!!
Then they would testify!
Then there are all the Cowboy Churches.
It’s just to much.
...and that teaches “love thy neighbor” how??
There is a lot of truth in that article.
I think the problem can be boiled down to trying to reach people where they are, when in fact the whole point is to worship God. It’s as if people think that The Son of God is not attractive enough to people so they have to entertain them.
If we focus on our relationship with Jesus, as individuals and as a Christian community, and let Him show forth in our lives, the pews will be full (which they are, by the way, in Arizona).
Of Course, Father Mapple preached from the ships bow in Moby Dick.

The Church is the body of born-again believers around the world, not the individual church building or denomination - the Bible says that nothing will prevail against it. The little-c church will fall when it no longer follows Biblical principles, but the Body of Christ will overcome.
Nope, the last one I dropped in to just had a 5 piece band and a video screen high and to their right.......
The Baptist church I attended before that didn't even have a standing crucifix.........When I asked my friend about that, he of course had a prepared church statement why they didn't.
And Pastor Bob gave me the creeps.......
I'm still looking..........
ever heard of "Breaking 4 Jesus"?
I was at a Truck Stop Church in Terrell, TX before
I’m done with churches with segregated services - traditional and “contemporary.” It is a travesty of the highest order.
A church doesn’t need a cross. A church doesn’t need symbols.
A church just needs people to worship and glorify God. It is the message not the messenger (besides Jesus) that is important.
Where the gospel is preached isn’t as important as WHAT is preached. It must be truth...as taught in the Bible. Anyone can preach the Word anywhere. “Where two are more are gathered in My name, there I shall be also”...said Jesus. Matt. 18:20.
Filling young minds with “pablum” doesn’t give them anything to grasp and it becomes meaningless.
Many churches are just club houses....................
It is new to me.
I never was comfortable with that stuff.
