Today one of our leaders mentioned that on his recent trip back to his home town he connected with some old church friends. In his conversation he mention about our church and how we meet in a theatre, are progressive and have a kicking band. His friends couldn't understand it and went on to say that some churches are changing too much and getting too modern. Why on earth would a church want to be relevant - it's beyond me (sarcasm).
I can't understand it for the life of me why other Christians waste their energy criticising churches like us. I don't really know why for sure? After all, we are on the same team. God will use all us
I am committed, no matter how frustrated I get with other churches, not to bad mouth them. So, I need to ask forgiveness. This past Sunday afternoon I drove past a church in Niagara Falls and said a critical word about what they had posted on their sign. The sign was stupid, but God uses stupidity -- just look at me. My words of criticism have been few and far between, but I need to move completely away from it.
The church needs to stand together. People are dying and going to a Christ-less eternity while some churches complain about the other church down the road. Shame on us.
