What Church do You Attend?

[Guest kreatha1950]

Amen God-Man!

But if I need to put a name to it?....I attend a PAOC church-That is we belong Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. I have been at this church since I was little, so about 25 years total. But around my pre-early teen years I have been and gone to other churches to 'try' them out. Mennonite, Baptist, Evangelical free, Seventh-Day Adventist, to name a few.

I find my church I go to now a gathering of people who are like minded in focus, ministries, and vision. That is why I worship and fellowship here. Because here, I have found my place. Here I find that though I am comfortable and familiar, I am also learning, growing, and being streched.

I could go off about my church this and my church that......but the reality is, is that we are not perfect, but we are striving towards God and understanding his ways. Fellowshipping with each other and trying to lift up and encourage the body of Christ. I am grateful the Lord has placed me here....

How was it that you came to choose that particular church? What makes it different from others that you've seen?

I know I will get some harsh feedback but I don't go to church. Too many distractions.

OK, I promise not to bite.

Why don't you go to church?

Steve, it's probably OK to bite so long as the one biting has had all appropriate vaccinations. I've had all mine, but NITE OWL is in luck being that I'm not much in the mood to bite. I'm in the "sit and stay" mode myself.

In answer to the originial question though, I attend Perimeter Point Church in Helena, AL.

Houston's First Church of the Nazarene. Bible based and full of love. Great music.

Great preaching. Jesus is the center. Strong prayer life. It helps me to hang out with these people. "Show me your friends...I'll show you your future".

There's really nothing there for me. I'm going to be 48 and of all those years I've spent 6 months maybe a year in church. All I got out of it was lighter pockets. I've learned more on my own with Christ as my teacher than anyone could ever teach me.

I don't read other peoples teaching's. Everything I get I get from the bible. I truly believe I was called. I accepted Christ back in 1978. No one ever witnessed to me. No one ever talked to me about God and who He was. I found one of those little comic books on the seat of a greyhound bus. I read it, said a prayer, put it down and forgot about it. A lot of things happened to me in the last 27 years, some good, some bad. I got some stories...

Like I said, there's nothing the church can do for me. God said we were to all speak the same thing and I just don't see that. The church has gone the way of the dollar. Which denomination should I pick? Which teaching should I follow?

I simply don't trust anyone but Christ with my eternity. I mean no offence to anyone. It's just what I believe.

I never really took God serious until just afew years ago. I studied His word and things started happening. Once He started answering my prayers, I never looked back.

This sounds crazy but He shows me things in my sleep. I saw the twin towers go down back in 91. I saw the flood that devastated the mississippi river valley in 92. A year before it happened.

I don't know...I think I'm doing ok going it alone.

I have nothing against those who attend church...It's just not for me.

I hate being lucky.

I can handle your question's if you can handle my answer's.

I too have been vaccinated.

I must say that's an honest answer, Owl. I share your concerns, and have shared some of your experiences - but not your conclusions.

In any event, I find it refreshing that you haven't made a lot of pompous, arrogant excuses here. Quite rare these days
