Severe Brain Storm Warning


So many thoughts have gone in and out of my head about church these last couple of months. I've dizzied myself to the point of not being able to focus on what really matters, and have come full circle back to just wanting to follow my love and Savior Jesus Christ by loving and serving others in whatever manner suits my God. Currently I am patiently awaiting the prompting of the only One that matters, but have not been doing a very good job at it.

I've wanted to overflow all of my thoughts about the best methods and purposes of the church out into writing on this blog but have refrained thus far for it begging the question, "what purpose would it serve?" Why run the risk of stepping on friends and family's toes or for being labeled a rebellious misfit for questioning the practices of the church or asking if there's a better way? So what if there is a better way to carry out being the Bride of Christ, the church? No church is perfect and there are still numerous ways God is working in the traditional protestant church regardless of particular methods. Most importantly I've asked myself, "Am I reaching people without the hope of Christ if I'm consumed with the methods inside a church?"

All this and my mind still can't put to rest the thoughts and question of "Is there a better way?"
