So It Begins

This blog is intended for people who attend church with me. We meet on Sundays at 5:00. Our mission is to have conversations about God and the bible. We seek to meet with others who are not comfortable with "normal" churches. We have no rituals and seek none. We don't take offerings and challenge each other to understand the truth.

For over 2,000 years the New Testament has spread across the earth; but, today people are leaving the church. God has not changed and neither has the bible, we believe it is the church that is faltering. It is losing people because it has turned from the simple truths. The most important truth is that we are to love God with all our heart and our neighbor as ourselves. Pretty simple and it is the basis for all of our belief.

We promote people finding direction rather than running from mistakes. We promote questions. We promote active participation is discussions and we promote fellowship in a personal manner. We also promote service to others as people feel drawn, it may be as simple as letting a car merge on the freeway in front of us or taking in the homeless; but, we must be of service or it is just words.

My job is to bring up issues for discussion and that is what this blog will be about. I will raise issues and this is a place where others can bring their questions and thoughts. Non-believers are more than welcome here; but, this blog will be moderated and profanity and insults will not be allowed.
