It's Time

Ever since ive been going to Wayne State College, ive been attending Concord E-Free Church.

and ive never went to a different church.

and i saw nothing wrong with that.

i got everything i wanted from attending Concord. Worship, Conviction, Instruction, and Comfort in faith.
so i decided to visit Journey Christian Church a couple sundays ago.

and this is what i gathered.

The message was about something along the lines of God's glory. the thing is, it was so topical, it made me sick.
it was almost as if the pastor was simply talking about God. just a message that was telling you things about God. and how cool he is, and things he can do.
but it felt like it never went further than that.
it spoke of His holiness, and what that meant, but never mentioned how that applies to how we should follow him.

and this is nothing against Journey Church.. but it just felt like i was being fed milk.
milk for a new believer. simple truths and ideals that we need to know and understand before we are able to move on to solid food.
milk makes us feel safe, it is comforting. it doesnt upset, it doesnt change our lives, it just keeps us stable.
but solid food builds up our bodies, it gives us nutrients that milk cannot provide.
yeah we may eat something wrong, so our body just processes it like junk food, and we feel the repercussions from that. but then we know not to each such foods again.
but if we were to stay on milk, we would never feel those wrongs. we would always be in our safe little bubble.
but we would also never grow.

It's time to ween ourselves off the milk, and move on to some Man Steak.

  1. I don't think you can truly judge a church based on one service. You should be more open, and try to figure out how the message applies to you, maybe the pastor is trying to make you think, not just listening
