If that's the Christian lifestyle I don't want any part of it. Give me some real faith and show it to me by your works. I include myself in any criticism I have made.

amen homey..its like i am so over the whole church..the church is not about a thing..church to me is a four letter work almost...well as far as the church as a whole is concerned..people are out to get theres..as the world is..dont yall see this behavior with the non believin?? one expects that from them..not the church..
....the church cares about nothing other than playin a numbers game..lets see how many we can get "saved" this week..when i got saved..no one gave a crap about tellin me how to live the life...no one even cared to see if i had problems or needed a friend..nope not even when i was in bible school....or even if i showed up in church or not...the only person who has ever done that was pastor jeff the youth pastor of CLF and while i dont get a hold of him much..i felt that he honestly cared..in spite of his hectic schedule..he took the 3 minutes it took to email me and let me know i was missed..that was a first..and it gave me hope that not all christians are selfish religious bastards....thats nice to know...this is what its about....quality not quantity..i am more interested in quality of conversions not quantity..how about people really seekin to serve GOD in spite of their imperfections..and lovin their neighbor..this is why i like CLF..its like the one church i see that is relationship based..people are accountable to one another..and i think that things are gettin better as they go..i was almost ready to give up on church..but i have also realized that there are few churches that are doin good..the church as a whole is a joke..i think that there is the select few that actually make an impact..as clf has for the small time i have been there...i feel that after 4 years of relgious nonsense i have suffered at the hands of various churches..i have finally found a place i can call home..altho my head at times tells me lies just cuz i have not gotten confirmation..i wont get into my head about this one...
