Well, I have lurked long enough! It is time to share some. I was raised in a Christian home and had a desire to serve God by the time I came (a
little later than most) to college. What attracted me most to "
THE CHURCH" was something that was missing in my ife, that is: boldness with the gospel.
That is something I definitely grew in while there!!
I probably did not notice some of the strange stuff right away because of my own legalistic background.
The church I thought I joined had a deep committed love to each other and out of that grew a love for the lost because they had the potential to become one of us! The church I know I left was only interested in numbers and performance, evangelists only, no other spiritual gifts need apply!
(To be fair I also thought I was joining a church where, like me, no one wanted to be married
, (sometimes we hear what we want to hear!)
I never totally subscribed to the "we are the only ones doing it right since the first century" attitude, that really irked me and got me more that one reproof :? LOL
I have other stories I will share later, for right now I just wanted to get registered etc.
I wish thtis site had existed when I left, I definitely had wounds that needed support. (Again, to be fair, I wish the internet had existed when I left :roll:
later and thanks
