Rainy day here, but church was good. Got served a moving sermon on James.
John 14:6 Jesus answered, � I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Do you who go to church enjoy doing it?
Do you go mostly out of a sense of duty, or do you go for some other reasons?
I was raised loosely as a Catholic and church always has seemed like a punishment to me.
Keith I absolutely enjoy it. When I'm not able to go due to travel or illness, I really miss it. I started as catholic, and I know what you mean. I went to a catholic school my first five years, then went to public. What did it for me was when my fifth grade teacher, sister bernard, said my mom was going to hades because she wasn't catholic. She was Presbyterian. After that my grades failed and was put in public school. The church I attend now is so alive and the folks are so nice.

Do you go to the church you were born into, or did you try churches until you found one you liked?
Keith I really enjoy it.Jesus is really there himself and I get to receive holy Communion which Jesus gave us thru his death.I come out of church feeling very refreshed and alive.Thank you God for Jesus.The older I get the more I enjoy church.When I was younger people don't enjoy church as much and I am forever thankfully now for a mother that forced me to go to church.

Keith I wasnt raised in a christian home. I really like going to church and the holy spirit blesses me. Im a greeter at church and enjoy being around better christians than myself. God has kept me alive with leukemia for 16 yrs...bad heart,heart attack e.r. said in Dec...crash and coma in 2009-10...war,,streets..killer mentality and way too much to name here. Wasnt a believer until about 62 yrs old and then he showed me he was real. He saved my life. Im still human. I still struggle with issues but Im trying. None is righteous,no not one. All my life he had been protecting me when I was trying so hard to self destruct . Found several I like but you must have the holy spirit working in your church..if not...find another. Keith,he is Real.!

I was raised Catholic. I haven't been to a mass that wasn't a funeral or wedding since shortly after my dad died in 1967.
I was supposed to be an alter boy but, when The Vatican changed mass from Latin to English, my dad put a stop to that.
ergo, bibamus.

Keith I really enjoy it. My life is extremely hectic and it seems as if I am constantly "putting out fires". I take the hour to listen to the sermon and and as much as anything, just thank the Lord for keeping me healthy and able to keep going and I always ask for continued strength. I'm far from perfect and probably in the eyes of several, I am not even Christian. However. The only 2 that really know the truth about a person is the person and the Lord.

Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the children of God. Sounds like you are on the right path. Constantly putting out fires is truly a calling.

I was raised in United Methodist church. I now attend First Free Methodist church. I attend a Sunday school class and then church service. Very seldom miss going. Still learning and saved by Jesus.
It is more blessed to give than to receive

Keith I enjoy the fellowship. We have a Sunday service and Wednesday evening dinner and study at the church im associated with. But my wife and I are also involved in other bible studies with several different denominations. We were joking a wile back if we play our cards right we would only have to make supper 1 or2 nights a week. Church crashers.
