1 /5 Queen Earline Brooks: I was just a visitor here. I did not feel welcomed for one.
Everyone just stared at me.
Where were the hugs and smiles?
It was the week of Thanksgiving, and the only thing that was preached was one verse. The minister continued to say, "Give thank over and over again...
Then halfway through the service, a bunch of humming...thats not profitable to anyone.
Im used to the word being divided properly and worshipping in spirit and truth.
Many scriptures to back up why you should be thankful....scriptures you can go back to and read and use in your spiritual walk with God.
The plan of salvation was not given....and there was no spiritual meat given for exhortation.
Plan of salvation should be given every service.. John 3:3 tells us that unless we are baptized, we will not even see the kingdom of heaven...the invitation should be given every time!
The building is nice...the youth did an amazing job singing.
However, worship is not for entertainment. We go to worship to learn of Gods word, way, and agape love.
There are millions of biblical examples of those who gave thanks.... Job would have been a perfect example...however we were not given anything other than a personal life experience the minister had....and no one can grow from that.
Im just a fruit inspector....I wanted to hear more from Gods word, not his opinions or personal experiences in life.
That does not help anyone get closer to God.
I share this in love....most people go to church seeking God ...his word and encouragement... to learn how to get close, stay close, and stay anchored in their faith. That was not provided here.
