Inkjet, is that the church in Tustin? David Hocking is the pastor, right? Just wondering, it's been over 15 years since I had lived there.

Right now, we're in between two churches and can't make up our mind. We attend Fellowship Bible Church in Plano and Cottonwood Creek Baptist in Allen.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Note to everyone: watch yourselves. Any denominational conflict will either be clipped, or the thread will be moved. We as the administration are pretty strongly against it.

St. Mark's Roman Catholic Church in IL.
Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.

Calvary Chapel Houston (ironically located an hour away from Houston proper). Also non-denominational, but more aptly classified as relaxed Baptists.

How is this a pray request?

"That time and absence proves - Rather helps than hurts to love."

"Feelings, emotions, they are good, but they cannot be Love's foundation. When of Love, these things last. When of romance, these things end."

Well, this forum is no longer technically for Prayer requests alone. It also covers praise, worship and possibly something like this. It might be better suited to General however. I'm moving it, if only so it gets more people on it.

I go to Round Hill Baptist Church in northern VA. When I am at school, I attend Grace Covenant Church. RHBC is a fairly small church, and it has been around for a long time. I have attended that church for my entire life, and I really like it. :)

When at home, I go to Grace Lutheran. While down at school I go to Faith Presbyterian at the moment.

I think I have some of those. I wondered why everyone was asleep during my sermons. I pastor Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Pamplico, South Carolina.

Hey Volt, you may want to go back and spell check your post.

Anyway, regarding what Volt said, I think that how much you learn about God, in any church, has more to do with the pastor, or in this case, priest, than with the denomination.

And as for your churched friends belief dying, and their falling into drinking, smoking and other sins. If I may use an example from my own life, my boss enjoys a good drink and can swear like a sailor, but he has a faith in God that I, frankly, envy. Also, be an example in yourself, draw your friends back.

I'm sorry if this comes off wrong. I'm slighly upset and you'll know why in just a minute.

I will be attendeng St. Benedict of Nursia's Western Rite Antiochian Orthodox Church until Holy Cross (Greek Orthodox) figures out what we are going to do. Our priest died Thursday night.

I go to High Street United Methodist Church in Muncie. I used to be very concerned with most established churches in general (I'm an ex-charismatic who used to attend a house church), always thinking that "high church" people who sang hymns were spiritually dead and "low church/broad church" people who sang contemporary praise songs were spiritually shallow, but one thing I'm enamored of about my congregation is how Christocentric it is (and it's "high church" too!).
