Like in a church Regime change ? Hypothetically as if its not at all the church it was when you started there. If the change is for the worse, what is the obligation of the church goers there? -Bob What about when churches move ? Like in a church Regime change ?

My job has led to many moves over the years and the one constant that seems to be the same in any church we did not join was an attitude of "this is what we are like, love us or leave us." While I understand peoples' lives are full and may not be able to absorb another relationship, communicating one is not important reveals the heart of the church. When a church has a heart toward the Lord. the natural outflow of love for God spills out to the people around. The church shoppers seem to to be concerned with what the chucrh can do for me. Disciples seek ways to do something for Jesus through the church. Church shopping has always concerned me.

That the churches of Prescott, each with their own unique gifts and callings, would unite together and make a huge difference in our area. Prescott needs Jesus, whether it's the children, young adults or senior citizens and we have the answer. Satan knows if he divides us we are ineffective in reaching our community. Let's unite and reach our community as One Body. My prayer for the body of Christ is that we would become united in Him.

It seems that we make moves in our lives that seem to create in us a sense of entitlement, I deserve to be.... I need to be.... I want to be.... without really thinking what our motivation is. Which in turn gives us a voice to belittle those around us that don't meet those needs. I think this happens even outside of church... which brings me to you last comment the glory and honor of Jesus should be at the forefront of everything we say and do.
