I would be interested in knowing your reasons to enable me to give back more on the discussion. I would agree with you. It has always been hard for me, but I have held onto my faith for over 30 years now while not attending church as a 'regular'. I am a true introvert, and the modern church is...

I have never thought of them all as such. Never actually thought of 'any' of them as such unless they proclaimed it, and even doubted some of them that have. I don't think you can 'box' them all in any way. The point I would make is that many of them are just products of unrestrained human...

It sounds like a local congregational method. Honestly, I have never much thought about it. In most of the churches I have come up in, I remember using first names, but it has always been 'Brother ...' and never have I used the Pastor title.

In response to Apex I would just like to say that I don't think anyone here is calling a mormon wierd and trying to paint an ugly picture of them. Mormons are the nicest, most family oriented, people I have ever met. They are just completely misguided. You can be sincere, and you can be...

Mormons believe that Christians are apostate and they are the TRUE church (just as all the rest of the cults proclaim). Their beliefs are very 'out there' and they shared none of them with you. They simply shared what they see as the similarities between our faiths. It's how they keep you from...

None of those things would be out of place in the churches that I attend. I attend several different churches due to scheduling and location but they are all Southern Baptist. The only thing I haven't seen is the foot washing, but it wouldn't be out of place. I think it sounds nice. Actually...

Moses, Jesus, and an Old Man were enjoying a day on the golf course. Moses tee'd off and his ball soared through the air landed with a plop in the water hazard, just off the first green. Moses pulled up his robes, stepped up to the water hazard and with a motion of his hands parted the water...

16 of 25 - yay.

Yes, it's a great song and the first time I heard it, it just spoke directly to me. I have it up on my myspace page now if you want to hear it sung: http://www.myspace.com/scjarrell

Heh, next ? - how do you bless someone - hehe

That would be the one. Thanks and Bless You. :clap: I don't know what happened with the search, 'Resurrection' was the first thing I searched for. :scratch:

Hey guys and gals! Just a quick and easy post cause I couldn't find a forum really appropriate to ask this: I heard a song on the radio the other day (Christian Radio) and I don't know the title or artist. I would like to look it up on Rhapsody and buy it cause it was a great song. Could...

I am looking for advice and positive insight on seeking out a church. I am not looking to insult any denominations or to spark any kind of debate - I just want thought and outside insights on what me and my wife are experiencing in our search for a church home. I have been a Baptist for all of...

I am with ya! My wife and I are currently in the same boat. Looking for a good church and having a rough time of it. I know that we aren't going to find anything perfect. I guess we are just going to have to keep praying that God directs us to the right place. As far as music goes, I listen to...

I see this a lot too. I like the posts so far and I highly agree with ub4me and think she has a great perspective. I have left churches, and actually currently looking for a new, because of this problem. I don't think the problem lies in the 'cool' people who, like ub4me says, are usually on...
