Let's try again. Please keep it civil. What denominatin are you? What are some outreach minitires that your church uses? Are there there any doctrine that you have questions about?Do you have questions about the meaning of a scripture? Let's try to have civil discussion and help each other grow in the Lord. Thanks.

Just heard about a church that a friend of mine is Pastor at, they are going to the laudromat passing out rolls of quarters to everyone coming in. Then praying with them and sharing the Gospel of Jesus.

We are talking about that very thing right now. We have 41 churches in our local SBC association. One of which is a megachurch for our area. (2400 on roll). Our missions director said that church is growing about 100 per year but all from other congregations. Not much outreach.

I think the same fellas that put the bible togeather wrote the UKC rulebook. Both are interpretated differently by everyone who reads them.

Denominations were set up by man. The Gospel was conceptualized by God, Finished by Jesus Christ, and spread through the work and actions of those who Loved God first and foremost. I think the whole denomination thing is one way Satan has used man to muddy up the waters. I am not saying denominations are terrible, just that there is division and divisive spirits. When we dumb down the gospel, or skip parts of the bible because they are unsavory or thought to be non-relevant to today's culture, are we doing what God wants? We are to teach the whole counsel of God's Word. We are sheep, we are to reproduce sheep. If it wasn't for some bold folks in the beginning, none of us would be called Christians. They didn't believe in the "us four and no more" philosophy. Sure there was some issues between the Jews and Gentiles for a bit there with the whole circumcision deal, but, God took care of that. Seems man is always looking for a way to make his club smaller. God is an all-inclusive Creator. He wants all men to come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Yet we continue to find ways to tinker with God's creation.

I think all of us need to take a good hard look at ourselves in the mirror. What can that guy looking back at us do to get out of God's way? How can I be better used? Am I broken? Is pride keeping me from doing what God would have me to do?

We should all read Galatians 6 and look hard at ourselves.

quote:

---

Gal 6:1-18 NKJV
(1) Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.
(2) Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
(3) For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
(4) But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
(5) For each one shall bear his own load.
(6) Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.
(7) Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
(8) For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
(9) And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
(10) Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
(11) See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!
(12) As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
(13) For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
(14) But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
(15) For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.
(16) And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
(17) From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
(18) Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

My wife Leslie was diagnosed today with Chiari malfunction 1. She has to see a neurologist. Be in prayer for us as we find out more. It is a disorder where the brain stem and the spinal cord are growing in the same place. (laymans terms) thanks.

I love the old hymns and quartet music. I am 36 years old and most people my age like the new music. I prefer the old stuff but our churches are so traditional that we are missing the younger generation. We have to allow something different and as long as the gospel isn't compromised then I think it's ok.After all our hymns and southern gospel music isn't the same music that was sung 2000 years ago. Statistics say When a person visits your church they decide in the first 10 minutes whether they will come back or not. So love and welcome them when they do come in.

Sometimes it is hard to be brave. But we are told to do so. It is time for a spiritual awakening and revival in our nation. We are so caught up in tradition in our churches that God is not even allowed time to move. We are scheduled 3 hymns offeratory hymn, message, altar call and dismissal prayer. What if the Holy Spirit leads our music director to sing seven songs or the preacher to preach until 1230 or we just have prayer for an hour? It's time to pray for the Holy Spirirt to guide our services and make a movement on our people. It's time for us to see souls saved and lives changed. Our churches should be hungry to see The Spirit move in our services. What a change could be wrought in our city, state, and nation if we ask for it and allow it.

Brother Ron sent me a pm. He asked for my name. My name is Dean Bearden. I have been married to my wife Leslie for 17 years. I have a daughter, Samantha, that is 16 and a son Joshua that is 11. I am 36 years old. I am a sinner saved by the grace of God. I have been blessed that both of my children have been saved and know Jesus as their savior. God started calling me to preach in 2003. I have ran for years. I was scared of what my wife family and friends would think. I quit going to church for about 4 years and lived in the world. We had marital troubles and my career fell apart. It seemed my life was in shambles. Leslie told me to leave and not come back. Our children seen me act out with verbal abuse to their mother. I didnt respect anyone or myself. Finally when she told me to get out I submitted to Gods call and asked him to please let me go home. He did. It took 4 more years but in February of 2012 I finally walked the isle and made my call to ministry public. Since then he has put me to work. He restored my secular career and most important my family. God is so good to me. He is to you too. If you do not know Jesus as your savior, accept him today. Please share your testimony on here. Thanks.

at one time in my life i didnt believe in god and bad as i hate to tell this i use to cuss him.i grew up in church and at 10 years old god spoke to me and knew i needed to be saved,but i wouldnt give in to his will.i aint kidding about this but sometimes during alter call i would grab on to the back of the pew in front of me to keep from going up front to get saved.this went on for about a year,i finally told god while i was at church to stop dealing with me,after i told him that he stopped dealing with me during the alter call.i figured i was doomed for hell now,and while i was playing ball if i made a out or made a bad pitch i would cuss him.as i got a little older i just stopped believing in god,i figured if there was a god i done doomed myself for telling him to stop dealing with me.on aug.11,1976 my mama was reading a bible story before bed and like always my mind was on coon dogs are baseball after she was done reading she told me to take a bath before bed,as i was takeing a bath i felt a guilt i never have known before,i started crying like a baby and i never cried because i thought i was tough.after i got out of the tub i went to my mama told her i needed to be saved,she got the bible out and showed me how to be saved.i begged christ to live inside my heart and he was faithfull enough to do just that.iam so thankfull i dont have to worry about where iam going when my days are over here, and without a doubt there is a god and he saved my wicked soul then, now, and forever.

Amen! There is nothing like feeling that conviction! White knuckling that pew then letting go and making that first step down the isle is an amazing feeling! Keep the testimonies, comments, and ideas coming.
