Certain Faith
A few weeks ago We met with some guys form a pentecostal church as some of you know I was part of a chruch like that for my first 6 years as a christian.I found it very difficult to connect with them and found myself judging them.After a few days I felt God question me on my attitude and have tried to correct it as far as judging them goes.
But the thing that scared me most was how there certain faith and vision for a large church and building made me feel insecure.I began to questiion who we were as a church and what vision we had. I have no idea why it made me feel insecure because as a person I dont normaly suffer from that sort of fear.
I think it only served to highlight how much I have changed and my meeting with them reminded me of how I used to be.I wondered if it might be good to try to go back the way in terms of my theology but in the end I guess I have to settle for being secure in my insecurity.
My faith now involves different things like being flesh in the community like investing in the community like my willingness to go on when its difficult to see any real change.
My conclusion is that meeting with those who practice there faith in a different way will always strech us and that can only be a good thing I only hope the other guys thought the same way.
