Although I can't be specific about my affiliation because it affects my annonimity a bit more, I'll give you the basics. As you know, I am a fundamentalist Christian. We believe that the bible is inspired by God and that we should strive to live our lives according to it. We do not discount any aspects of the bible, unless the bible actually allows for it, nor do we accept any reduction in the importance of the bible's teaching. Our strength is in the support system that we give each other to live by the bible in a world that completely condemns such a concept. Our services are alive, vibrant, meaningful and powerful. Our membership is committed and unified in thier believes. Most of all, there is a huge push to teach people how to get deep in their relationship with God, putting God TRULY before anything else in our lives. My church is the most wonderful environment in which to raise a child that I have ever seen. Our members are sought out by child care organizations, adoption organizations and foster care organizations because of their outstanding reputation with children. On the negative side, my church is heavily persecuted and hated by most other groups who do not understand that we are not out to pass judgement on other people, but to open their eyes to what we believe is the truth: The coming of Jesus Christ. |
