BTW, what does "church" look like?

Do you think "church" looked to Paul like it does to even the most conservative country church among us? You think Paul's "church" looked like a twangy guitar and some half baked singer leading "It's All In Him?" Do you think Paul's "church" looked like some white sideing church with its wood pulpit and its red faced screaming precher hollering something about "git those sleeves past your naked elbows?"

Laughable, if it weren't so pathetic....

I am old so in my time of being a young person we didn´t have anything like people use today...
I told our young people the rule is this: If these things take place of the pw=ower of God then out the door they go...if they are used to help draw other young people to Christ then I will rent them what they want for their special services.
Those that have looked though the pictues on the missionary thread will see that I work in a country that loves special outfits for everything. I think we should consider culture, age and many things.
Once an american said to me you ought to line up a certain girl...I begin weeping and told the American, "if you only know where she is coming from..."

I am not talking about people continuing on and on in sin but LOVE is the first fruit of a christian...and not a white shirt and a lady with hair up...
sorry...and I am probably considered ultra con...whatever that implies...

I cannot speak for the states but here God is moving in an awesome way.

I don´t think kids wanting certain things makes them lose out with God...We all want a computer don´t we?

I am not talking about some Hollywood gay sex concert...however good clean worship is what kids need...had a bunch at my house last night...I don´t care for all their songs but I am not 16 either...

I know you don't agree with me and most the people here don't either but I think Young Congress was sickening. Our young people do NOT nor will they ever go to such events. Thank God for Heritage Conf in Colorado and Fort Worth where our young people.

We might be "Few" on here but I promise you that the GYD got more than just a "Few" letters and complaints in the mail on this one.
