I visted a church this evening, it wasn't my favorite type of church. It was a small church, and they have no structure to there service. If you ever visted a small country church, this is the feel. Service overall was good. However, the pastor opened up the service for testimonies at the end of service. Now don't get me wrong, I love real testimonies, we now call them praise reports. I was raised in a church where my Dad, would always ask for testimonies from the congregation.
There are always these wonderful people who give more glory to the devil than to God, and go on and on for ever in there testimony. This brother tonight had been facing some serioous problems, but took up over half and hour to share his pity party with the church. If it doesn't edify the church throw it out. If it doesn't build up the kingdom of God...get rid of it. Just one of my pet peeves.
One more thought, people who say Glory to God and Hallelujah when they speak.
A person tonight said, "My fiends's son commited sucide...Glory to God..Hallelujah."
I relize that we need to praise God, but come on these words have lost there meaning and have become filler words.
Just on my soapbox
Steve
