I don't go all the time but I did find a great church.......It's kind of like a rock & roll concert when you get there.......I wear shorts and Tshirt and it's really a cool church....They have 5 huge screens and the music is great and I'm a rock & roller they have a star bucks and never have they asked for money........They have boxes set up out in the lobby and you just drop whatever in the box.............I actually go on Sat. afternoon, they have 2 services on Sat. and 2 on Sun........The last week I went, they took in over $90,000.........The boxes must work.............Made me really like Church again............just my 2 cents
As long as you are there to serve the Lord God from your heart, the style of music doesn't matter. If you enjoy that music, that's great as long as it brings you to worshiping God from your heart.
Even an atheist feels sorry for himself. If god really exists, then I might as well beg him for forgiveness. You can't blame me for not believing. There is nothing you can do about it, either. But for the people, I will always hope that they are all well. I don't like hatred because it will only cause another hatred and it will only cycle-it may never end. So I really wish for people to live happily. Enjoy life live life.

Ps 19:1 ¶ <> The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.
Those who die in their sins go to hell for eternity. Here is what Jesus Himself said:
Joh 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins
The wrath of God is eternity in hell:
Joh 3:36 "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name
1Jo 5:12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

You like the White Sox tonight?
You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning
Who wrote God grant you the serenity to accept the things you cannot change the courage to change the things you can and wisdom to know the difference?
Reinhold Niebuhr
Addendum: Niebuhr's, The Serenity Prayer (1934) reads:
"God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
"Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next."
The Web page of "The Voice of Love" reports the following:
"Reinhold Niebuhr ... discusses the Serenity Prayer and how it came to be in his book, The Essential Reinhold Niebuhr: Selected Essays and Addresses:
'... The embarrassment, particularly, was occasioned by the incessant correspondence about a prayer I had composed years before, which the old Federal Council of Churches had used and which later was printed on small cards to give to soldiers. Subsequently Alcoholics Anonymous adopted it as its official prayer. The [AA] prayer reads: "God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other." ...'
