Just discovered your blog . . . hope you...Brian,<br /><br />Just discovered your blog . . . hope you have your notifications turned on. I wanted to express my appreciation for you sharing your wisdom regarding this subject. <br /><br />A few years ago when Terry and I were considering joining another local church we'd been attending, the pastor announced one Sunday that the church would be undertaking the then-popular, Rick Warren "Purpose Filled Life" syllabus. <br /><br />We were already familiar with it and did not approve of it for several reasons I won't get into here. We continued to pray for a church, ended up at TBC, felt right at home and also felt led to join. <br /><br />So after all that, yes I know we need to attend regularly - sigh. But the point is it's good to see you haven't fallen pray to the church growth OR the "prosperity" messages which are so prevalently today. <br /><br />Full disclosure: I didn't <i>discover</i> your blog ~ Terry just made me aware of it. Subscribed. Keep it up! Kevin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
