Four people were saved yesterday! FOUR, and I am sure they were not worried about the things listed above. It looks to me like something must be going right! I was laying in bed talking to my husband about it last night and this is the point he made. It's not about what you look like or what you do in Church, its about bringing people to Jesus. As far as the the comment regarding abortion. Where in the Bible does it say that you wont be forgiven? I am huge believer that abortion is murder, however the message I believe he was trying to get across was no matter what your past is, whether it be adultery, abortion, stealing, drugs.....you are hear today asking to be forgiven, seeking your Lord and he is waiting with open arms. God doesn't pick and chose that is people like you and I. My sisters husband really bothered me as his father is a pastor, Dave will preach at other churches but him and Nichole spent too much time judging what we did wrong at Center Point then the BIG PICTURE!
Pastor Ray is an amazing person, he could preach to a tree and the tree would get it.... And the people at Center Point are so full of love and energy for our God its breath taking. They have really turned my world around. It doesn't bother me as much that they didn't like it, I am okay with that, it's the fact that they looked for anything and everything to hate about it. Church/God isn't about that, why are people allowing it to be more than just being with Jesus. This I will never understand.
I will end this with I am happy to be a part of Center Point's amazing experience!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, Yea I dont have alot to say about Dave other than I have totally no respect for him anymore, and that he may claim to be a christian but I think he is just religous, because if he were a christian he would've understood Ray and been blessed by him as we are every week. Not to mention that he is bringing Nikki down with him and I have half a mind to tell the both of them how I feel about it. You know Nikki always liked going to Dove and she even said so but I never heard her once say that they shouldn't be wearing certain clothing or that Oh My they use an NIV...bogus BS anyways it has inspired a new song titled "Stand Together" which is a new work in progress Love Ya Queenie, Reddog
First Off let me start by saying - YOU ALL ROCK!!! I am so glad that God put your family right into Center Pointe. I am looking forward to serving along side each of you!
You got it... on the abortion thing. Definitely wrong, definitely murder, definitely forgivable by a God that is ABLE to deliver us from all sin. Don't be offended by your brother in law, just love him where he is in his walk with the Lord. On the other things... a lot of people have a hard time understanding that it is about a relationship with Jesus and not rules or dress codes.
