Some people love to learn about God from a pastor, which is great, but then they don't want to take it any further on their own. So yes, a pastor should be there to help you understand and learn, but they should not be our only connection to God.jen s.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253529165034405240.post-77312555010852161832008-01-22T17:06:00.000-05:002008-01-22T17:06:00.000-05:00Yea, ok, except that the last time I checked, God doesn't talk back. Not lately, anyway.<BR/><BR/>So you pray and pray and pray, and then you sit there and try to interpret what God is "saying" to you by what happens next, right?<BR/><BR/>How do you know if you're right? How do you know if you aren't completely misinterpreting things? <BR/><BR/>And if a pastor or teacher or whatever, isn't there to help you understand God or whatever, then what's the purpose of listening to the guy every week anyway?Jadiehttp://www.thedoubtingchristian.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253529165034405240.post-37755222576606872962008-01-22T13:25:00.000-05:002008-01-22T13:25:00.000-05:00I think a lot of people at Forefront need to hear this. They serve, give, and attend but are still coming up empty and maybe because they are expecting too much I know that's weird to say when referring to God but it's the only thing I can figureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
