Re: The Good News Cafe Forum
I learned a long time ago to not "walk" with my eyes on individuals in the church but instead on Him.
I've never been in a church where I heard a never ending money beg let alone the church being instructed to go take out a loan and give it to the church..
We have 3 services a week. Nobody get's chastised for missing any and they certainly aren't 3 hours long. We also have bible studies and cell groups. Lots of non Pentecostal churches do
I also learned that Prayer is more about spending alone time with Him than it is receiving something from Him.
Before I was in church, I was miserable. I hated every moment of the day, so I medicated myself with booze and pot.
I am thankful for what Jesus did for me and "Pentecost". If my local congregation became unbearable, I'd leave it for another. That is a reflection on the congregation and leadership not on God or "Pentecost"
