"The Bible says, "Don't live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants."
Oh yes, we are all different, Thank God for that, we may have been a rather dreary and boring lot of people!!! The Bible does stress that we should fulfil the Will of the Lord and not our own will...sometimes not the easiest thing to do, is it not?
We do need a clear purpose, without that , changing jobs, friends, churches and other externals will really just confuse one. I am so thankful that we are blessed to be in a church where the full and true world of our Lord is the one and only word we believe in...
I do however think that the church should "spruce up its act" in order to attract younger visitors and to stimulate them suffienciently to want to return Sunday upon Sunday
