It seems with every age the controversies get more and more difficult to discern and more difficult to handle.

And ya it sure is hard to be in conflict with a pastor and at the same time listen to him and to be fully engaged to what he preaches the conflict over powers the sermon even if you try so hard to concentrate and pay full attention. Its impossible until everything gets resolved completely between both party's.

People these days tend to be like lone strangers about church, they just cant decide on which church they want to stay in. That is a bad way of understanding the church. God wants us to pick one church, because he doesn't want us to go in a bad relationship with him. Well this idea is all from a book called "Stop dating the church, fall in live with the family of God" when we are lone strangers we start dating the church and we stop being committed to the family of God. i thought if someone thinks that they can't stay in a church i thought this little passage from the book would help. " And we can always draw near to God because Jesus is our mediator." that's what we can know and feel when we are a part of a church, a part of Gods family, where you we...ask God to forgive us...from out sins and accept his plea for salvation. I hope from people reading this they will understand the meaning of being in Gods family, and most importantly ask Jesus Christ our savior for the salvation he's given us, from the blood of Jesus can WE ONLY be forgiven and redeemed from our sins. So we can have eternal, everlasting, peace in heaven with God. Amen -and Eugene thank you for your sermon- I only have a few words to say about all of this, and its that God specifically designed the church so you can worship him.

It was quite a surprise to see what he actually talked about but it makes so much sense. We need to understand the direction of the church and be heading in that direction as well, which could include ministry, but it is so much more. We are to be live cells, active in building up the church and we must all the building it in the right direction for it to be most effective. One thing Eugene explained I thought was very important was when he showed the dangers of not clarifying disagreements you might have with the pastor/preacher. Every time there is a disagreement it must be clarified or else you will continue to have more and more disagreements and you wont be able to hear the preaching as the word of God from the pulpit, but rather the word of man. That is very dangerous and could come from a misunderstanding. Thank you so much Eugene for this sermon!
