Okay, I live in a small town, with very no churches that meet my "standards" for a church.... (to understand that statement, i've been reading alot about church what church is, how it should work etc) I don't think that I can blame some people for not wanting to attend church; however, we are called to it. I have some Theological training so I get kind of picky and know exactly what I believe and why, so no offense.... When it comes to sin... I believe that we are totally depraved... meaning that if sin were dirt we'd be dead... because it effects every aspect of our lives! we are totally given over to it! HOWEVER The Cross is good! God did so much more on the cross that cleanse our sin debt! (notice not forgotten but cleansed Read 1 John 3) God is glorified by our trust in him! Go see Narnia! Oh my goodness! I watched it with my wife yesterday (In a High Def Theater!) And it revealed so much to me about the Great King! and how I can't wait to live in His kingdom!!! Wow….

Hopefully I didn't come off as angry in my post. I wasn't trying to call out people who aren't going to church, but rather encourage people to view church in a different light. Good thoughts Randy.
