That’s just sad when you have to back words to go forward into the talk of Jesus. or the opposite thereof, lol
But still funny all the same

faith – Just out of curiousity, what is your church affiliation? If you don’t have one, let me ask you some other questions.
Do you identify more with Rob Bell or John MacArthur?
Joel Osteen or R.C. Sproul?
Doug Pagitt or Mark Driscoll?

I ask because you use alot of “red flag” phrases like “journey”, “spiritual experience”, and “active and powerful God”.

I would just like to consider your backround before I comment on your post further.

Thanks,

I believe in an active and powerful God. Even if the VBS program is sub par, God will always pick up the slack. An inadequate program does not necessarily result in an inadequate spiritual experience. We are all at different stages in our journey and I believe that God works in us and through us despite our best human attempts at vacation bible school!

We did an original VBS this past summer……we used DMX lighting, pyrotechnics and skits each night. Does this mean we were “all show” and ineffective?
We had over 120 boys, girls, MEN & WOMEN make first-time decisions that week. I guess some people fail to realize that the MESSAGE does not change…..but, the METHODS have to.

We just finished our VBS. It was awesome! The kids came for the blowup rides our church rented at a fraction of the price. We had 160 kids there who ALL got a clear Gospel presentation 2 or 3 times every night. 30 kidsraised their hand during invitation over the course of the VBS. They were taken and dealt with in small groups where the Gospel was presented AGAIN, and got saved!!! There were many others who raised their hands, but when they were dealt with about their soul, they did not believe they were a sinner.. Unless you KNOW you do wrong, you have not yet reached that age of aaccountability and therefore cannot yet be saved. I praise GOD for the ability to draw more children in to hear the GOSPEL. Even if they do not get saved at that time, a seed has been planted that others can water and one day harvest!!! Praise GOD!!! )
