Most people already know what they're doing wrong. When I get them to church I want to tell them that you can change.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I discipline churchgoers with godly lessons and sharp words if they do not change their ways. My goal is to open their hearts so that they seek forgiveness.
We come to church not to hide our problems but to heal them.
I have to believe that people can change, otherwise I deny the Gospel, and I will not do that.
It's really difficult for fanatic churchgoers to understand God can't help me. I'm the only one who can help me.
Much as you would like, you are not going to change people who feel it's part of their religious commitment to 'save' you.
Churchgoers in America are notorious for jumping into movements, even ideas that are hard to listen to. But when they actually have to change their lifestyle and do something about it, it rarely translates into action.
We have taken a giant step forward in correcting some of the misconceptions people have about the church. I think that we've made a lot of friends.
What people pray for will tell you more than anything else whether they are locked into the vision and priorities of the church.
I grew up in the church and had always questioned what they were telling me.
It's not like we grew up hanging around in church every day. We'll always stick to what we feel is right for us to do, and I don't think either of us have had a hard time saying, 'This is who I am, and I'm fine with it.'
