Christians in the south

[n2wolves]

cherokee sometimes it's hard to see the good in people when the bad we see just jumps up and smacks us in the face...at least thats the way i see things sometimes. I find myself sometimes wanting to say something negative about someone and second guess myself...should i say it? would it offend anyone? am i being christlike?....but every now and then i open my big mouth and out it comes something i shouldn't have said in the first place. sister you've erred and i forgive you...just as all of us err in our walks with Christ. God Bless, In His Majesty's Service, John

It all depends on which church you attend their are some differences in church worship styles.

Hmmmm. . . .. I grew up in the South, traveled quite a bit, and settled back here. I would have to say there are "cultural Christians" all over. I find it gratifying, traveling thru the Southern states to see how many churches there are. . . . . The Lord is ALIVE in the South
But I don't argue that there ARE some who go to church - in the South and in most areas - only one day a week. They are "church goers", not Christians *giggle* I pray for them to truly come to know and accept the Lord.

Sandy who are you to say who is and who isn't a Christian? Only our Lord and Savior has that priviledge. Last time I looked which is everyday scripture doesn't count the number of times you attend church as a basis of our continual walk as Christians.

I live in Louisiana and I go to a church where everyone I met is on fire for God. There was once a time I had the same passion, and lost it, but because of the church I am going to now I starting to feel the fire again. The south is going through a progresive revival, it gets stronger every year.

Ya'll are harping on a pointless subject. Who cares if the South has more unsaved people in this country. If you don't like what you see as far as Christianity is concerned, THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Jesus called us to preach the gospel to every creature.

QUIT HARPING ON THIS SUBJECT AND GET SOMEONE SAVED!!! BLESS GOD!!!

Exactly my point! It's walking the walk - not standing in a church or talking the talk.
Good for you, staying daily in scripture!

I live in the South, and the churches that you refer to that around here are the Baptist Churches. When I went to one and hear of others talking about it, it seems that those are the churches which are more "traditional". They get up sing 3 songs, (with no spirit to me), and listen to a preacher, and leave when the service is over. Now, I'm not saying that's the way it is with all Baptist churches, cause there is a spiritual one in the next town over. But the ones here that I've been to are like the ones you described. However, I go to a Pentecostal church, and we are very spiritual, we sing, clap, shout, and feel God every time we enter the door. We fellowship, and we are expected to live a Christian life, not a two-faced one. Alot, of the Pentecostal Churches are full of love, and welcome. *Not saying it's the only church of course.

Hmm.. I live in Fayetteville, Arkansas and I know tons and tons of saved christians. I love christ, and I love the people at the church I attend with, and I love the church I attend.. I agree, there are people that just 'attend church' but I have to disagree with the comment that The South the leads the nation or world whatever with unsaved souls because there are tons of saved christians. Go South!
