Dawn, I also mentioned about the seeker churches on D students other thread.  There are 2 in my town.  Ugh.  So cool, so blah, don't offend ANYONE so there aren't 2 many scriptures that you could discuss!!  Pastors in jeans & sloppy shirts (not that there is anything wrong w/ that ;)), so cool, up on youth culture, the MTV generation....gag..see you can still be cool and still be a...Christian.

D both threads you have described vividly what is SO wrong.  Yes we all know not all churches are like that, but there are a whole bunch that are!!!  And like I said on your other thread they are replicating FAST!!!

Convenience stores, fast food restaurants, instant breakfast, disposable diapers, processed food, TV dinners...assembly line salvation (just say a few words and your in) --- do we see a pattern here?  We don't have time to shop, cook, eat, study!
We all want the easy way, the fast way and it all leads to the broad way
    :-\


Matt 7:13
    Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat

   " assembly line salvation (just say a few words and your in) "

  Hahahahahaha!!!  How true.

   And just like Christmas time at Kids'R'US, it's not cheap and most likely they'll chuck it when something
 faster & easier comes out on the MARKET... 

   By the way, have you heard about the, A.T.M's people are putting in their Church???

ATM 's  ???

No I hadn't heard and I'm surprised, although I guess I shouldn't be. 
Probably for those who don't have time to write a check.  What next, a card reader in the offering plate?

I have read several things on this forum about the things that churches are doing these days-and the deceipt rolling from the lips of pastors, etc.  I have to tell you that I still attend my Baptist church with my husband and it is nothing like any of these churches. 

The pastor does not preach about money all the time or about how wonderful the church is etc.  He is a genuine person who cares about the people in his church.  No one ever talks about these churches here.  The ones that are actually unified, where the pastor is genuine in his seeking and caring for people, a place where people work together etc.  It would not be hard for me to walk away from the kind of churches that have been described on this forum.  But this church I go to isn't anything like that. 

I am not saying that they teach the truth necessarily, but their actions and attitudes are nothing like these other churches described here.  I think that the people in this church seem to be honest, and loving and  truly caring!  That's what makes it so hard for me to understand this whole leaving Babylon thing.  There is a humility that doesn't seem to exist in other churches.  This church doesn't promote the things of the world but rather living a Godly life.  It seems that not too many people here have things to say about these churches-which is why I am so confused.  The pastor isn't trying to make millions off of people.  He isn't trying to decieve people-at least not knowingly.  I believe he must be truly decieved himself because he holds dearly to the things that he teaches and he is a student of the Bible.  He never went to Bible college, he is humble and honest.  What about these men.  They are good men, even though they are decieved, they are good men.  It does make it harder to walk away from these people, even though they may be decieved.  I hope this makes sense.
