Trends in the church
Somehow, I cannot help but be struck by the fact that if the church spent less time worrying about trends and more time dealing with God, we'd all be much better off.Amen.
Helping preachers to proclaim, and all Christians to hear, the transforming Word of God

Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may be able to determine what God's will is -- what is proper, pleasing, and perfect. - Rom. 12:2

Linking to a given site doesn't mean I necessarily agree with everything it says. And since this is a blog, not a sermon, I'm not being fastidious about qualifying every post. If you're a preacher of the Word, you ought to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff. If you want to see what I believe and preach, go to my sermons page:

I was tempted to comment wihtout reading the rest of his article, but I didn't. Now that I have read it, well, my thoughts are pretty much as they were.
It makes me wonder what it is that we think we are really looking for in and through church anyway. Really?
I mean the simplicity of serving, worshipping, praying and fellowshipping in and with the Lord and each other, somehow are percieved as insufficient.
Which only makes me wonder more as to why this is so?
Blessings in Christ Jesus!
Mr Stanley,
When mainstream 'Christianity' begins to understand that demon-inations are divisions and are against God rather than for Him, you will then understand why they have trends and gimmicks to keep them 'alive' - in reality, an impossibilty.
Demon-inations are not The Church - people are The Church and the sooner the people - The Ecclesia - those called by The Father to His Son get themselves out of the Demon-inations, the better it will be for them.
