Lehigh Valley Project's Comment...

I'm going to post a few of the many great comments from this week's series, here's one from Lehigh Valley Project ...

Having been at Forefront from the beginning pretty much (The 1st Sunday); this group of folks consist of two groups:

#1 - Christians and church goers from previous churches who are in fact never really satisfied. Why? Cuz their trying to find God through the church! Wrong answer - It is a catalyst, but not the final solution. Time with HIM and seeking Him with all your Heart, Mind, and Soul help you find God.

#2 - The other group is those who might have significant issues they are struggling with, and this can be a myriad of issues: addictions, finances, etc.... They think the church is the solution and it can be to a degree, but again it comes down to the heart of the seeker. How much intentionality do they really have in their hearts for seeking God to the fullest? Dunno? So.., they end up leaving, cuz we don't have the answer or they feel like we aren't doing enough to fix them - or they are not willing to take the necessary steps to fix themselves. So.., they go find some other place that will appease them. Unfortunate, but true.

There has been one particular thing that has been pushed from the very start at Forefront and it is part of the DNA of the church. "LOVE GOD and LOVE PEOPLE!", and the church can't make ya do that. You have to wanna do that.
