Ten Things I've Loved About Churches

In light of comments on a recent post I have decided to write ten things I love about Churches.

1)The small town Baptist church I became a believer in was full of people who really cared for me.
Some were very legalistic others genuinely cared for me and prayed for my soul diligently.
2) As I sat through many years of sermons, I believe I have heard some that were inspired by the Spirit of God and they moved me, challenged me and brought my heart to worship my Savior.
3)Through the struggles with my son's illness individuals of our church gave of themselves financially and physically to help our family in many ways.
4) My time as a youth pastor has brought me some of the best relationships I've had in my entire life that I cherish to this day.
5)ok , ok the gym is pretty cool and my kids like all the games
6) When my wife and I were dating we use to hang out "talking" in the church parking lot til late at night.good times.
7)I really like unsweetened grapejuice. Especially in half swallow increments, even at meal times its the only way I can drink it.
8)Potluck dinners rock.
9)Nothing better for latenight hide and seek than the inside of a church building.
10)Those really cool tracts in the foyer that were half horror flick, half gospel. Two or three of those could get me through any sermon.
