think depend on the pastor how he deliver GOD's message
the reason why i think megachurches are popular as their pastors are able to relate the word to modern living...this is what my gf (who was from a megachurch) told me too... -
Ha. Somewhat you and breytonhartge really seemed pushy, at times pointing your nose too high above others.Originally posted by laoda99:ok...sorry for giving u the impression that I am pushing u.
Just take ur time to believe, and find others who can encourage u, not bring ur faith down. It should be progressive, not gradually decrease until u dun believe anymore. I find that I am a lazy person, and without encouragement I dun think I can hold fast to the faith. How abt u?
Encouragement is what I want to give u, not push.
I know you didn't do it intentionally, your intention is very good an God-centered. Just the way it's delivered, is a little..... Do a self check ya? -
Noted...constantly doing self checks ever since the kingdom of god message. Think sometimes we get too excited. But hope you can also be more forgiving and less sensitive, we really dun mean anything bad or want to make fun of SIS...we are also humans and we make mistakes...Originally posted by M©+square:Ha.

I think my pastor is right, christians are more prone to be scrutinised...so I will be careful from now...

I understand the excitement and wanting to share the good news to others who were bothered by their lives.
They have to hear the message which could set them free.
However. At many times, it's not that they don't want to accept/listen.
It's the approach from Christian which they reject.
I have been rather tame leh.
Don't say like i am xiao qi la. -

You do call a Rafflesian a Rafflesian cos the Rafflesian is or was from Raffles. Similarly, Christians are all in the body of Christ.Originally posted by shade343:lol, I dunno leh, I find the idea of people who call themselves christians just because they belive in christ......funny. -
