Side Lines
I've been thinking I would like to go to church, but I don't know anyone.
I don't know what to do, where to go, what to expect when I get there. It's hard and it feels awkward to do anything for the first few times. Here are some suggestions:
Have you noticed a church near you or one you drive by often? If not, check the phone book. Call the church office. You should find a friendly voice to talk to. (Some churches don't have a full-time staff. If no ones there leave a message so they can get back to you.)
If you'd like, ask to be matched up with someone in the church, any of us would love to meet you even before you attend. That way, you will know someone before you come!
Also, we could pick you up Sunday morning, meet you for breakfast or coffee before church or at least meet you in the parking lot to show you where to go and what to do.
Stop by a church on a weekday and ask someone to show you around so the place doesn't feel so foreign when you come on Sunday.
Just show up. Check out when the worship service starts. Many churches have greeters to help you as you enter the sanctuary. If you'd like, ask them to introduce you to someone you can sit with.

 John Starnes' life is a testimony to the fact that God uses ordinary people to achieve extraordinary things for His kingdom. Many will remember Starnes from the 1980s when he sang at large Jimmy Swaggart crusades around the world.
“It was a very, very special time,” Starnes told The Sun. “It was the period of my life which defined who I am today. I am forever grateful for that experience. Maybe one day I’ll write a book about it and tell of the great meetings we had.” Click Here to Continue.... |

 Psalm. 119:1340; Ezekiel 11:19, 20
Why do we do the things we do and say? Quite a question, isn't it?
Do we understand the war that goes on in our inner being as it relates to doing what is right or wrong? Do we, in obedience to our inner voice which is our conscience, endeavor to do what is right contrary to what many say is just old fashion and needs to be done away with?
