ENDLESS ARGUMENT

Reflecting on all the challenges I faced within the organised institutional church , it's almost comical. 

Debates over:

---the timing of the rapture

—pre-trib, post-trib, mid-trib

—arguments about "once saved, always saved" 

versus 

the belief in potential loss of salvation.

---questions about being;

"baptized in the Spirit," 

speaking in tongues, 

discovering one's "spiritual gift," 

even the matter of head coverings for women, or whether women should wear pants. 



---Then there's the issue of casting out demons,

---unending Bible studies,

---all-night prayer vigils,

---debates about celebrating Christmas, Halloween, or Easter,

---Not to mention the perpetual discussion about which day is the right day for worship, Saturday or Sunday.

---The list continues endlessly... 

Our Focus should be...

 Love, in contrast, is incredibly simple. 


It's who we all are at our core, before we adopt any beliefs or notions of a higher power.
