Yes, your blog is on point. So many times wordsthat have been said by another person, you have over heard or said or thought to yourself. Can be so emotionally damaging and long lasting. Telling a child or anyone for that matter that they are worthless or won’t mount to nothing is very harsh.
There has to be something positive somewhere To say.

You scripture will definitely help the person or persons that have read this blog.

Comment on Going back to church, what I’m not looking forward to. by Cynthia

This was a good article. People are so traditionalize that can’t see the really vision of worship and fellowship. Sure there are a lot choose that do the stand up, fight, fight but then there are those church that are true to the word and the people. We sift through until we find that one church. “we are the church” people still don’t know what this means. Whether you worship God in a building or on the back porch you are the church. But, they are displaying is we need people and organizations to function. Tell me what’s in the bible because I’m not going fight what told me. You are the Pastor.

They say reading is fundamental but we rarely use it when it come to the bible (reading it for ourselves).

So going back to church would not necessarily but to be with the people but to be replenished, filled up or be fed. We have to eat the meat and throw away the bone.

As long as people don’t know how to connect events that happen around them; as long as people don’t learn how to think and create ideas – 1. Formation of new ideas ‘to solve problems’. “The whole of our thinking, the whole of our education, and the whole of western culture is concerned about the formation and communication of ideas,” Edward De Bono in Mechanisms of the mind;
as long as people don’t learn how to connect sentences using development methods – masses are at the mercy of Mass media, Religion and Political rhetoric.

Awesome post. I understand. The pastor does not run every aspect of your life. The pastor is just a church administrator who gives the word and sets order.

And yet as a nomadic attender of Western Evangelical Christian churches, I see all manner of things that attract people. Mostly, it’s the rock concerts complete with strobe lights and smoke machines, but not all of them.

Comment on So you did'nt go to church on Sunday? by nlewis

Thanks for reading. I find it disappointing and yet alarming that many women in the church will accept and take for the Gosple truth,every word the proceeds out of the mouth of pastors and evangelicals over what is truely written in the word of God. I pray that no man has to step away from the one they love for a few days and it’s so unfortunate that many wives don’t realize their husbands are close to that point. Many wives take for granted and rest in the fact they know right well, their husbands will never leave them, abandon them or cheat on them, but they also forget that we are men with hopes, dreams, desires emotions and feelings. I can and have written such articles as you have mentioned, but what women will read an article telling her she needs to honor, heed and show more trust, honor and respect towards her own husband “the priest of the home” over the pastor in the church. How can any married woman, claim her love for Christ and yet shown contemp for her faithful husband, this very act takes place in many churches acros America.

AMEN! I am so glad for this article. Thank you for that! And I believe the same for my marriage, yet my wife does not understand that! I have NO intentions of leaving her, committing adultery, or refusing to provide for her financially. But there are times when I feel the need to be gone for a few days. I have tried to share with her that Christ did that often with his disciples! You can’t tell me that none of those men weren’t married.

It would really be nice for you to put an article of the Bible’s teaching on this!

Thank you!!!

Comment on The iPhone 5 – What a disappointment. by nlewis

I think the next few months will be interesting to watch as it relates to IPHONE 4S sales, as more and more loyal IPHONE customers jump ship and go with another smartphone (ANDROID); maybe another carrier. Apple kept loyal customers waiting for more than a year, only to bring to the market a device with features that other smartphone users have enjoyed for more that two years. I think that s step in a direction of decline and …”Its too hard to keep up with the competition”

Thanks for reading!
