Churches again*

When I think of Churches, I wonder about the things we believe. Some people are in the same Church the same congregation all their life. Some like myself have changed from one Church to another thru out their lifetime. We are all different and so are churches. I have been to small churches - 5 people or maybe less in attendance and to large churches with thousands in attendance. I have been blessed with a message in a small church and remembered a sermon 10 years or more down the road. I have been to a small church and left wondering what the minister actually said. I have been to a large church and can still remember a certain sermon 10 or more years later. I have been to a large church and wondered what was actually said. I also believe God's word does accomplish the purpose for which it was sent. I believe I have a responsibility to check what I am hearing from the pulpit and discern if it is the word of God I am hearing. I think it is important to become attached to God, not necessarily a certain church or preacher. We need to read for ourselves, yet we need to assemble with other believers also, to hear what thus saith the word of God from a pulpit. Allow God to mold and shape us throughout our life. We need to individually be a Christian and collectively with a body of other believers. We need to be accountable to others, even ministers need to be accountable to someone. We are all accountable to God. God has changed me and what I believe over the years. I don't think its all that important if we attend the same church for decades or different bodies, as long as we are growing and allow God to change us into his image. God Bless, LVZ. I wrote this some time back and revised it a couple of times, and today I guess I'll send it on.
