My Church


My church is right now in an iffy place. It is kinda a smallish medium "mega church". The pastor is pretty good though about not wanting to do the "mega seeker church thing". He tries, but I think he is not the only one making decissions and sometimes some of that stuff slips through. He has made it clear lately to the church that he has recently decided that of the two ways to go, "Seeker/Mega" or Gods way, he is gonna go Gods way. I have accually been impressed and started bringing my Bible to church again cause we accaully use it now. He is trying to get people to "really" worship God, in community and not just clap and sing the words to songs. They are also right now prepping people to lead more small home groups, but this time as shepherds not facilitators. That should be good. I tend to lean more toward finding a roll in a church and work under someones authority than to just go out and start something new and unaccountable. I have been through that phase in my past, almost an entire church was destroyed through that endevour and I'm not sure how many of the people involved are still faithful to God. I know I wasn't for a few years and am now just getting back to him. At least He is always willing to take me back. I hope that I never leave Him again like that. Anyway, so my church is kinda in a middle place I like the direction that the pastor is pointing and I pray that God would continue to protect him against the ones who might want to put a stop to it and take us back the other direction. I think it would be cool to have a "mega church" that is full on in the right direction. Thats the way they do it in South Korea, so it can be done.
