Church As I Knew It

Church is not a building. Never was.

Right on. Church is the body of believers. The concept of a building called church and how to run as caused more trouble.

....... You come to the church I attend dressed any way you want, we will not judge you...but when the Spirit of the Lord works in your life, you might find yourself changing.

When you are in tune with Gods word and his spirit ( Holy Spirit) you will change to fit into his plan. Each one of us will experience diff. changes and convictions. Often we experience the same, but at diff. times.

Never forget that we are very lucky we can go to church. There are men women and children dying because they go to church, read the Bible, or even get caught praying. I want to have that kind of faith...

Would you die for Jesus? He died for you.

I was brought up in the Roman Catholic faith. When Vatican II took effect and mass in Latin stopped, I felt things had changed too much. Not that I understood all of the Latin, but it was traditional.

Maybe I went into the Corps because I'm just a traditional sort of person. Also, I no longer consider myself a Roman Catholic anymore, simply a Christian.

If we are to be like Christ, and Hebrews 13:8 says
"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
then why does the church have to change? God doesn't.

You come to the church I attend dressed any way you want, we will not judge you...but when the Spirit of the Lord works in your life, you might find yourself changing.

The church is NOT God, it is the people who worship Him. People change and even YOUR church has changed over time, I assure you of that, thus the church changes over time.

To me it boils down to one thing: my relationship with my God. HE will always be there for me, whether I'm in a $500.00 suit, or nude in my bed, if I ask for His help, He will answer!

May all of you have a happy, and most importantly, spiritual Easter.

Happy Easter to all of you. Our Lord has risen as foretold in the scriptures.

Bless you all and may he protect our brothers and sisters in harms way and comfort their families.
