They are by far the smallest of the many LCMS churches in Colorado Springs, but the 20 or 30 attendees were there for the good worship, not just to be part of a community.Aaron.D.Nemoyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073580150390924858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29648413.post-1152483257214756822006-07-09T18:14:00.000-04:002006-07-09T18:14:00.000-04:00FYI - I'm having Jack Bauer check into all anonymo...FYI - I'm having Jack Bauer check into all anonymous posts.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03369287272186630378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29648413.post-1152481799998369802006-07-09T17:49:00.000-04:002006-07-09T17:49:00.000-04:00You will do what I say.

We did not come looking for a social group. <BR/><BR/>I would rather stumble onto good community while searching for proper proclamation of the Word, than vice versa. I realize, however, that the path of least resistance is the latter.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03369287272186630378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29648413.post-1151944743454391112006-07-03T12:39:00.000-04:002006-07-03T12:39:00.000-04:00The Church, Christ's Bride, is spotless in His sig...The Church, Christ's Bride, is spotless in His sight. But since a church is made up of individual faulty people, an individual church will reflect the people in it, and the times they live in.<BR/><BR/>You may look skeptically at "community" from the vantage point of your background. However, from my point of view, we came to Christ Lutheran to find good theology and just happened to find a great community. You guys accept us with all our faults, and we accept you with all of yours. ;) But a devotion to the pure Word of God is at the center of the Christ Lutheran community.Barb the Evil Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635449477605703171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29648413.post-1151874581064169982006-07-02T17:09:00.000-04:002006-07-02T17:09:00.000-04:00Our cynicism is showing!Our cynicism is showing!Marie N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02358976552469177345noreply@blogger.com
