June 28 – Church Thoughts

The following are my thoughts about Church.

I enjoy going to Church. I recommend Church for anyone. 

There are many different varieties of Churches.

The greatest lessons taught in Churches are universal truths and apply to all of mankind. The differences I have found in Churches are not universal truths and are easily discovered by the confusion these beliefs generate, so I simply discard and forgive them as errors. Universal truths are not confusing.

I do not go to Church thinking all I hear I will agree with – that is not the purpose. I go to learn.

Learning about God is greatly important to me. My sense of God is heighten when I attend Church.

The size of the Church is not important.  

The people who attend, the sermon, the person presenting the sermon, are greatly important.  

I have found Churches to be a place were I can go and be with others to talk about God and Good, two great topics.

Churches help me understand my relationship with God and Gods relationship to humanity.

Of all the various Churches I have attended, I haven’t been to a Church I did not like – yet. All the Churches I have attended are working on helping people live joyful lives.

Whatever reasons a person gives for attending a particular Church, in the end, the Churches reason for existence is to help us learn about God (whatever their variety may be).

I hear many people talk about how they do not believe in what Church is all about. Well, I say, keep searching until you find a Church or Churches you find agreeable. You will be better for it.

I currently attend the Unity and Parkside Baptist church in Bakersfield. I enjoy the sermons and the people are very loving.

Of course all Churches are not the same. I primarily follow the teachings of god from Jesus, Budda, and Krishna, so Churches of those basic beliefs I am attracted to, so far.
