[QUOTE="movin_on_up, post: 1717262, member: 24427"] Cherokee, in a few posts back, you mentioned your frustration at not having Christian coffee shops where all people could feel welcome. Perhaps that is a ministry/vocation for you? You seem to feel passionately about issues so rather than be frustrated and angry, why not use your passion to make the changes you mention? As for 'genuine' Christianity in the West (AZ), you should know that statistically the West is the most unchurched in the US. Thus, the on-fire Christians you meet in church are on fire because they are in the minority every day of their lives. I'm in Wash. where less than 3% of the population attends church. It would be refreshing to live somewhere where stating you're a Christian isn't met with suspicion or ridicule -- or an immediate reply of "that's not for me." I can't address other parts of the country I'm not familiar with, but I do know this -- the Lord directs us to forgive others, esp our brothers/sisters in Christ. Rather than view other Christians with anger, disgust and scorn, why not forgive and move on to do the work the Lord has put in front of you? In His love, Kathy [/QUOTE]
