i got this in the mail today...

Finding a church at times can be awkward! Quite honestly that is more the church's fault than it is the one who's looking. Sometimes churches forget what it feels like to be new. At Creekside Christian Fellowship we thought of what it would be like to be looking for a church and what it is that people are looking for. Then we planned our church for you!

Thought a church should...

  • Be more interested in what's on the inside that on the outside.
  • Help people find out how to get more out of life than how to get beat up.
  • Be understanding and not judgmental.
  • Have cutting edge contemporary music that you can hear and feel.
  • Have life application messges laced with humor and video illustrations.
  • Have quality nursery, children and teen programs.

Sunday Mornings 8:15 am Traditional Service

9:45 am Contemporary Service with live band

11:15 am Contemporary Service with live band

what an attractive church. i was really thrown off by the "messages laced with humor and video illustrations." i was even more thrown off when i saw the Traditional Service vs. the "Contemporary Service with the live band." if you notice carefully, you won't see a single mention of God or Christ in this flyer.

coming from a reformed church, i have a hard time being understanding to seeker-sensitive churches. i mean, i know that God can even use churches like this but i question, how far do you go? how do you know when a church is compromising? how do you know if a church is "balanced?"

The front of the flyer says, "Just Imagine...a church designed to meet your needs". if church was meant to meet our needs, then Christ would never be worshipped.

yesterday's psych. lecture:

(professor shows visual perception with a picture).

professor: so as you can see, you'll either see the old woman or the young lady just from looking at the same picture.

student: wait, i think i see a third one!

professor: ...dude, are you on crack?

class: ahahahhahahahahha.

Thought of the Day: Fall.

Song of the Day: 2pac-Keep Ya Head Up
