To: Salvation

No, I grew up Lutheran. And once I accepted Jesus as my Savior in a mature way, without it being a parental expectation for me to get confirmed, I went to the Catholic Church. My hometown is over 77% Catholic (and then I think about 10% mainline Protestant) so most everyone I knew was Catholic. And until I was 30, I never knew one person whose faith was their life, except for Jehovah’s Witness I was friends with who mentioned to me that Easter bunnies had nothing to do with Christ’s Crucifixion. If I didn’t know that JW was a cult, I’d have talked more with her, because I had believed the Gospel but found no fellowship anywhere.

Faith is Christ is more than mere fellowship.

A support group is important, yes, but Christ is supremely important.

Unless Christ is the center of your service (Lutheran still?) the something is terribly wrong.

I know of a church that had young children sing and dance — and that was the service.

Not centered on Christ.
