I’ve only meant to imply was are you absolutely sure this (what ever it is) couldn’t possibly work? And I also agree that no two churches are the same, but our God is the same.

I’ve only heard ‘this won’t work at my church’ so many times when the only reason “it won’t work…” is unbelief and laziness or it’s not a “pretty person’s idea.”

Example….people in churches said forever about bus ministry being something that had it’s day, but now it just won’t work. However… a friend, of mine and Jeff’s at First Baptist Springdale, Robbie Ariola is committed to it and could bring more children to the Lord IF more people would only be faithful to serve.

Whatever it is you think won’t work… might if you try it.

And I agree with you also that what works here won’t work there…. Like calling the Hogs…if you aren’t from Arkansas, you just won’t understand.

How is what I said garbage? I’ll bet Jeff would agree with me. You can’t take what works in one church and copy it. Every community and every church is different. What works in Arkansas won’t work here. What works on the other side of Charlotte won’t necessarily work on the side I live in.

Yes, you are correct that you must seek what God wants. That is what I/we are doing.

But I am very curious, what on earth did you mean by “I can’t take and copy what is going on in Franklin because our church is in a different type of community.” I really want an explanation because I’ve heard that garbage from others and I am quite suprised to hear it from you. I hate that.

Love people like Jesus and people respond. Jesus said it better, “If I be lifted up, I’ll draw all men to me.”

You are also right….you can’t copy what a man is doing elsewhere.

What is God wanting to do? Ask HIM and DO IT, no matter how crazy it might seem.
