man I havent posted anything on here in a long while. I have been keeping a writen journal however. I was just reading it and the more recent posts have more to do about one thing than any other
( Read more... )
lame, youth leaders should be so excited that youth are really finding a place where they fit and feel comfortable and can bring out other friends after all it's all "unto the Lord" not to man.
Sheesh... Peter, the youth pastor at our church and I had a talk about it one time, and he was talking about how great it is that there are so many options so kids can feel an accepting environment, a place where they belong and get more kids out... he's pretty cool like that
when questioned "Peter, don't you think it's wrong to bribe kids into coming to youth by giving out cds to whoever brings the most newcomers?" he replied
-Not at all, I mean, wouldn't you do whatever it takes to get people saved? Sometimes you have to do that, because 'money' and 'things' aren't as important to me as souls... I'm willing to spend my money to get people in the church to hear the message because it has the power to change lives. that was somewhat paraphrased but I dunno... he's just rad. All about people moving around to find a place that's comfy
if it's only about getting numbers, then it's not Christian. It's for personal gain.
