If I could change one thing about our church.

God wants to change your life and mine.

What is a "gurl", and why is that relevant?

[teresaq]

how was that particular post not "personal"? and meant to insult both neild and women in general?

[Guest]

Good grief! Lighten up why dontcha. Some people just love/live to be offended....

[Tom Wetmore]

Apparently unwilling to give an intellectually honest answer or contribute positively to the discussion, you seem to prefer to resort to snarkiness and insults...

Very mature...

[LifeHiscost]

Any answer other than that, is a serious breach of relationship.....

Is that the reason for this comment by the apostle Paul?

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"Romans 3:23 KJV

As it is said, "Misery loves company".

Regards!

>>...we are missing the one thing that WILL bring us together.<<

jasd 12:12 And eastwards, toward the rising of the sun – shalt thou pitch the standard of praise – in the midst of thy dwellings shalt thou place it.

There is insufficient expression of praise to Gd, and of joy amongst His people – which are easily remedied with best effort re potlucks.

Call me...

Moreover, the stewards of the church have not brought forth, together with the old, that which is new – from the storehouse of the Lord, ie, Holy Writ. They’ve beaten the hackneyed to shreds and enshrouded themselves with the gravecloth of obsolete dogmas.

Oops, have I criticized? Oh Oh Oh. Best I search for an example wherein the Lord did also criticize...

[Twilight]

I would like people to stop looking at the problems in the "church"...

...And take a good long look at themselves.

If we spent more time worrying about our state with God, than anothers state with God, then improvements would be sudden...

The Holy Spirit is given to sanctify each of us, that is His focus.

But we think the first work of the Holy Spirit is enable us to pull everyone else down.

I have so many failings in my own walk, that until I have addressed them, do I really have the right to point out someone elses?

SO have you joined the ranks of the church haters that Ger has determined should just leave to make this a better place?

Nope

I totally agree Twilight, we spent to much time looking at the bad things and not focusing on the good, and that God is running the church with or without our consent.
