Q&A: “Why should I go to church?”?
Question by Tell The Truth!: “Why should I go to church?”?
Somebody posted these reasons for going to church. Can you think of any others?
“Want to find out the truth about Christianity? Why not come to church and find out for yourself? There are friendly Christian congregations everywhere!
Church is about worshiping and learning more about God, not judging others. We’re ALL sinners, that’s why no one on earth is “better” than anyone else. As sinners, we’re all totally powerless to save ourselves. But Jesus Christ, who never sinned, came to earth to save us from condemnation by taking our penalty on Himself. He gave up His life and rose again three days later to accomplish God’s great purpose of eternal salvation for all mankind! But each one of us must ACCEPT the gift of salvation; God doesn’t make that decision for us.
A church fellowship is also about building strong communities, connecting with neighbors, and making new friends. In addition to the familiar Sunday-morning worship and children’s programs, many churches offer extra worship services, Bible-study groups, youth activities, community service, volunteer opportunities, outreach programs, and other ministries throughout the week.
If you’ve been to church before and thought Christianity wasn’t for you, please, keep on trying. You may need to visit several different churches, remembering always to pray for guidance, before you find the right one for you. The key is: never give up! True peace, joy, freedom, love, happiness, fulfillment and eternal life are like rare and precious jewels. To gain them, we have to seek them patiently and persistently.
Won’t you join us this Sunday? We’ll be happy to see you and, most importantly, you’ll be pleasing Someone who already knows and loves you!
God bless!
P.S. DID YOU KNOW? Going to church doesn’t hurt a bit; in fact it feels great! And besides being fun and spiritually rewarding, church attendance actually boosts people’s physical, mental, and emotional health!”
So, what are some other reasons to go to church?

Prophetic Dream-As the Church moves into God’s calendar/rhythm His bridal love will be released
Robert Stearns shares a powerful prophetic dream in November 2007 at a Family Foundations Conference. This is a fascinating dream and revelation from God regarding the changing time of “Mother Church”and of the Gentiles. God is aligning time with His purposes through a new understanding of God’s lunar calendar. As we come into the understanding of the anointing in the lunar calendar and God’s feasts, the bridal love of God will be released as time itself gets realigned with God’s calendar. As we worship and receive according to the rhythms of heaven, it begins to motivate us to obedient exploits that will manifest the glory of God on earth. www.familyfoundations.com

Did you know that Wright’s church is blaming the media for this?
Question by Cerberus: Did you know that Wright’s church is blaming the media for this?
“Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.’s character is being assassinated in the public sphere because he has preached a social gospel on behalf of oppressed women, children and men in America and around the globe.” ~Reverend Otis Moss III, (new) pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ.
So, their defense is that Wright’s comments were a “social gospel on behalf of oppressed women, children and men in America and around the globe”
I didn’t notice any mention of “oppressed” WHITE “women, children and men in America”.
Is the pastor unaware that people of ALL races fall on hard times, and that they have to pick themselves up and work to better their OWN situations? Or do they feel that somehow complaining about it is going to help?
That just doesn’t sound like a very inspirational message to send to your congregation of church members. Don’t people go to church seeking spiritual enlightenment, fulfillment and HOPE? Why speak of despair and oppression?
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/03/obamas-church-b.html
@Blackjet: I agree. Sometimes silence is golden. I’m afraid that they’re just going to make it worse, and help to keep the issue in the spotlight.
@Josha: yeah, I know…MLK? More like Malcolm X.
@Rose: I watched the videos. I heard what Wright said. He was NOT speaking of the oppression of white, hispanic, asian or any other people. Trust me on that one…Or, listen to him yourself.
@Angela: I’m not sure what you’re referring to, as I have never said anything about Obama being a Muslim (but, since you brought it up, I have no reason to believe that he IS), nor did I even mention Obama AT ALL. If you read this question, I was referring to Wright’s church and their defense of Wright’s words (which, in my opinion, didn’t make sense).
I am also confused about why these types of things would be said in church, in ANY church. The statements do sound racist to me, as they are disparaging people based on their race.
My questions were: Does this seem normal? Why would anyone say things like this in a church?
I am also surprised that this pastor feels like this issue cannot be blamed on the person who said these things, instead, he claims it’s the media’s fault.
So, what you have said, has absolutely nothing to do with what I have said.

How does your church help resolve marital problems in its flock?
Question by Chris C: How does your church help resolve marital problems in its flock?
Giving the high divorce rate this is a problem that even the Godliest Christian’s are not free from. I am intrested to know how churches help their flock deal with this. What resources: this could be professional counselling, classes to learn commuinication skills, support groups, chats with the priest, peer group encouraging them to stay together, bible reading etc. If you can name your church as well that would be great. If you use bible readings what passages are most appropriate?

Answer by SSQ8
Dear friend Chris C,
Marriage relationship is a gift to a mature male human being who accepts a mature female human being as lifepartner in their lifetime to live with each other to create a family bearing children into the generations of mankind on the earth, if you believe in God the Heavenly Father.
Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. (Holy Bible Colossians 3:20)
Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. (Holy Bible 1 Corinthians 7:2)

Do you think that anyone doing unnatural sex acts should be banned from the church and politics?
Question by hot_joe_2000_1999: Do you think that anyone doing unnatural sex acts should be banned from the church and politics?
Unnatural sexual activity includes all sexually sensitive acts between two human males, between two human females, between a human and a lower animal, practicing withdrawal wherein the seed is wasted (Onanism – Gn. 38:9f), other interactive acts between a human male and female wherein sperm is wasted (including any variant of interactive masturbation), and all variations of anal and oral sex (Erism – Gn. 38:7). Compulsive singular self-masturbation, by either a male or a female, must be avoided and treated as grave sin but is considered differently than other forms of sexual activity unless its purpose is avoidance of procreation.
Wet dreams during puberty are considered as a natural associating process with the opposite sex, but are not considered as mortally sinful unless they are specifically desired while in the waking state. With proper intent one should be able to control and eventually eliminate such dreams. They should be recognized as natural, but should not in any way be sought after or be desired in a manner that encourages fantasies or otherwise come under the heading of depravity.
Wet dreams or fetishes regarding a person or persons of the same sex, or with lower animal life, need particular attention and will normally require counseling with a mature qualified person who can hold a confidence and be trusted. No counselor should ever be allowed to observe or touch a persons private parts. No moral counselor would ask to observe or touch a persons private or sexually sensitive anatomy. No true counselor will ever recommend any form of body contact therapy. The earlier tendencies toward homosexuality, bestiality, or fetishes are recognized, the sooner they can be overcome.
Homosexuality, etcetera, is seen by this author as a tendency acquired primarily through social associations (commonly some variant of family dysfunctionality). Such tendencies should be quickly averted before they lead to active homosexuality or other perversions that are highly condemnable. It should be noted that effeminacy is not automatically a sign of homosexuality. Parents and others near an effeminate child should seek proper counseling and not shun or otherwise treat the child with any degree of dissatisfaction. Professional counseling is strongly advised. Otherwise, moral damage may be the consequence.
Direct and Indirect Sterilization:
All permanent and temporary acts that remove or limit the possibility of procreation are morally to be considered as acts rendering otherwise natural acts to be acts of sodomy. In effect any act opposed to the initial command of God to “be fertile and multiply” is a sodomite act. The encouraging or practicing of acts that delay the onset of puberty are included.
Coaches of young women who direct diets and/or physical exercise knowing that such will postpone puberty (an act that is in itself morally condemnable) are direct participants in subsequent acts of sexual intercourse that have in effect become acts of sodomy. This practice is said to be common of girls in training for olympic competition under the direction of their coaches. The following is intended as a partial list of permanent and temporary sterilization practices:
1. tubal ligations and vasectomies (both conditions may be reversible)
2. unnecessary damaged to or removal of the uterus, testicles, etc.
3. birth control pills, injections, patches, etc. (abortions at times occur)
4. abstaining from sexual intercourse during the woman’s fertile period
5. using spermicides or otherwise rendering sperm nonmotile
6. inter uterine devices (abortions commonly occur)
7. male or female condoms or cervical caps
8. sexual promiscuity resulting in STD’s that inhibit procreation or cause sterilization
9. douches, morning after pills (abortions at times occur), etc.
10. procured abortion often inhibits fertilization, implantation, or causes miscarriage
11. excessive exercise or dieting with knowledge that ovulation will be delayed
