Well, I don't think I've found but one church that I really felt like it was HOME in... but that soon ended too, when a new pastor came about. Long-story-short, my husband plays drums for the worship team and had several conflicts with the way the new (young) pastor was trying to run things, so as with most churches when a new pastor comes, there was a church split. My mom is still Catholic, and actually now we go to a Four Square Church. I do not like some of the things they do... like the first week we went they were washing feet of the worship team (not my husbands), and it was WEIRD, never saw that in a church setting before. But I told the pastor about that, and they haven't done it since (several years now) We went from Vineyards, to Calvary (Christian) to Four Square. I liked Calvary the best. They read through the bible story by story/book by book. But, we live in a small town, so I do what I can. Like I said in my post, I wasn't pushing her to go to Vineyards church (I'm not even attending one anymore) but MAYBE to just shop around... that it sure helped me to actually open a bible instead of give my hour in church kneeling/standing/sitting and then sneak out the back after communion. Now, for my mother, it all works... she gets it. She gets out her bible at home, she understands those sermons, and she likes those old hymns... I'm more contemporary and like a more rocky style music... so you go where ya get 'fed'. I struggle, I sin, I fall-short. There are just as many hypocrites in the church as there are walking the streets.... the difference is that we have God. He sent his only son for us. I'm sorry if you don't beleive it, but I do. This "faith" board seems to have a lot of people that don't have much "faith".
I appreciate your response very much. I haven't had much interaction with people on PSB. I guess I'm more of a "lurker". :)
