A long time coming...

So I will admit I haven't been on here in awhile and I dont want to make any excuses just my sincere apologies...As much as I want to write I haven't found time. (there goes an excuse lol, typical)

Tonight, I want to "babble" I guess on how LUCKY I am to be a member of such a wonderful, insightful, bible-teaching church (i could go on with the adjectives but I wont). Let me give you a little background on where I come from as a christian...

I have grown up my whole life in a Christian home with two wonderful Christian parents that have raised me well (i think) lol. I have attended a Baptist church ever since I was a baby. I attended Evangelical Christian School from middle school till I graduated High school. I experienced many trials and tribulations as a christian struggling through my spiritual walk with God, BUT (a very big BUT) never have I ever learned about the DOCTRINE of God...yes I said Doctrine.

In high school I will admit that most of the time my motive for going to church was to socialize...not to worship God. However, I did have a point in my life where I did feel my closest with God...like a spiritual high, if you know what I mean.  At that time it was nothing like the way im learning and discovering things about God now.

NOW that I attend Grace Community Church I have discovered that the way I have been taught has been WAY off base and at first I was very prideful of my Baptist background and what I've learned to be true, but after studying the word of God, listening to the teachings of our pastor, and studying the works of scholars in the Reformed faith I can't possibly turn away from it. If anyone sits down and reads scripture and pieces the facts together in the way God intended you cannot argue any other doctrine to be right.

I have so much stuff to express and don't know exactly how to say it...but I will leave you with something to think about...

Think about where you attend church, what is the doctrine of that church, Are you going to church for the right reasons, If you don't go to church, Why dont you go to church...This is a serious issue and dont take it light heartedly. I am still learning myself....and if you have any questions...im free to answer them.

God Bless and Goodnight....look forward to talking again:)

p.s. this time I wont take so long to write again
