Found a new one for the list. How do i choose a church?

On that day I want to say 'hey I know you' and Jesus to say ' yea I know you as well', so preaching all his teachings is must.

How can I say I have faith and believe in Christ if i dont know him, because no one teaches me anything about him just believe he died for my sins on the cross and rose again and he will help me prosper in life.

Hey Jesus I know you, you died for my sins and rose again and helped me prosper and live a really nice life. 'I do not know you, you worker of inequity'.

I have but one main criterion, which nonetheless is widely unmet. A church I'd choose would not be afraid to preach on Hell, and frequently. As you all know, Jesus Himself spoke more about that place than He did on Heaven. Most of today's churches are into positive-thinking New Agey optimism, and the most serious warning you'll ever hear goes unsaid. It's time to bring back some old-fashioned fire and brimstone.
 
The prosperity gospel is false because it only teaches Christ as a useful tool, as in, people have there own plan for there own life and Jesus will help them. I want this so Jesus will help me if i believe in him, better health, better wealth, better marriage, better paying job, all my problems will be solved, and so on.

God is only used as a tool. God has to follow there plan for there life, God has no say. God is everything they want him to be.

It has to have a late service so i can have brunch first.

"Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. And when I come I will give further directions."

Then make God first in your day and life and go to that early service.
It's the best way to start your day.
Then you can go out and get drunk.

Love God with all my mind heart and soul and love my neighbour as Christ loved me?. That is impossible.

If i could live up to God's expectations in the flesh I would, but im just a wretched sinner in the flesh in need of God's mercy on me. Nothing more.

Does this mean it is appropriate that one should stop trying? "If you love Me, keep My commandments." I somehow doubt this was intended to mean just for a moment, but always. Run the race, fight the good fight, and endure to the end. We can't use our sinfulness as a crutch to justify inappropriate behavior. Be perfect therefore, as our Father in heaven is perfect. That is our goal.

Most churches servuces here are before brunch.0900 to 1130

Brunch will not be served here until 9 am,and with long lines.good luck trying to make brunch and my church service.1030.

Anti christian? If you liked mass so much why did flock to to my state? It's called snowbird for a reason. We have those in my church.
 
Gentleman, we dont use the word 'retard' around here anymore, it is on the ban list as it is offensive only to the people who think it is offensive.

Do as they say. Laugh when they tell you to laugh and cry when they tell you to cry.
