Why I don't like some of the new trends in churches

It feels like the new churches want to have a Corrie ten Boom faith with out the hardship of the Nazi rule. It feels like they ignore the pain and hardship out of the immediate church (sort of like how entertainment is). It feels like to me that they want to create heaven on earth. This is not the goal of the church at all. Heaven is saved for Heaven and I'm glad that it is there. I'm not saying that there should be no glory ... heaven like points but that is not the point of our life on earth. We should be focusing on following the will of God.

Working on Progress

The plan for this blog is to put down thoughts and maybe help clarify them, work them out. Any feedback is appreciated (with moderation).

Sometimes I need to write stuff down and it comes out like this.I'm not an authority on anything, and I will change some of my ideas, so think for yourself, otherwise I will mislead you. I will fail, because I am human.

God Bless

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson
