Re: What church do you go to?
Church for me is everywhere, anywhere, anytime, whenever Jesus and I are together and since we are together all of the time, then so is church. I know it says we should fellowship with one another but not to the point where they become two distinct groups and the purpose we were called is not being fulfilled. Jesus came on this earth and met and mingled with the people who needed him, not the priests and pharisees and sadducees. They already knew what instruction was given, after all they were the holders of that, and so for Jesus the place to be was with the people on the Mount, by the sea, in the meadow, in the desert...on and on it goes. How do you tell people the good message if you are always amongst your own and not out in the world as directed. Remember, be in the world, not of the world. I have spent time in churches and have seen the affect the so called righteous have upon those who are trying to meet Jesus, and I prefer to attend my church my way, life and all things in it are my church.

What church do you go to?
Hi Jadie
Hallelujah! The post you made stating that you chose Christ over Wicca made my heart leap with joy. You are both so very young and have so much wonderful time ahead of you to establish God's Kingdom in your hearts and lives.
I too was a Salvationist and in uniform for 15 years. I was what was called a CSM or Corps Sergeant Major, ie 2nd in charge of the Corps under the Officers. It was a huge responsibility but unfortunately those 15 years were spent serving Christ and not getting to know Him. My wife, who was also in unform, felt as I did, that the S/Army Corps we attended lacked 'Jesus's Spirit', there appeared very little love and only condemnation and judgement. On to many occasions we would go to church uplifted an full of the spirit only to come away deflated, upset or angry. We decided to look for another church, as you are too.
We attended many churches and looked at the 'fruits' of those who attended. Were we seeing 'The Fruits of the Spirit' in those who attended? Was primarily our concern in the selection process. Eventually we were drawn to a Pentecostal Church called Hillsong in Sydney, Australia.
The worship is absolutely awesome and the congregation is 80% youth which is pretty amazing. We definitely are in the lower percentage group being in our late 50's. However God's Spirit is truly active in this church despite its large size [3 000] at each service. God showed me how I had diligently served him at the S/Army but how I had not got to know Jesus His Son. He told me I must start again in my faith. Be re-born so to speak. Forget my last 25 years of religious walk and enter a new relationship with Jesus right from the beginning like I never knew Him. I obeyed and enrolled in New Christian Courses. I was very soon after re-baptised in water and later received the gift of tongues. My life has been blessed beyond my wildest imaginings. My family has united and grown in love. We are seeing daily miracle in our lives and family. God is blessing us and we give Him all the Glory and Honour.
My prayer for you and your husband is that you too may find Jesus in your lives. If you place him at the head of your marriage, home and family life you will never look back. Never underestimate the power of the Holy Spirit. God Bless you and your wonderfully beautiful family in all pursuits.
We're in His Hands,
Robif
