After walking with Christ 50 years to this exact date (Mar 17th 1974) and having been through Charismatic/Baptist/Pentecostal/Non Denom/Reformed/Lutheran since then, but always keeping the message of the Cross central in my heart, I won't discount here what Alistair Begg said. (BTW, Begg is Reformed)pretty soon some one will want to discount what Alistair said.. i wonder was he a Baptist Pentecost a non denom or what..
that's ok i am forgivenBTW, Begg is Reformed)

yes.When you wrote "after walking 50 years" you're referring to yourself, correct?
no.From the smorgasboard of Churches you attended, are you folks now attending a Reformed Church?
I'm sorry for the abrupt/blunt/curt answer I gave in post #9.Good morning, crossnote;
Thank you for your wonderful post and testimony. When you wrote "after walking 50 years" you're referring to yourself, correct?
I'm blessed to learn this about you. From the smorgasboard of Churches you attended, are you folks now attending a Reformed Church?
God bless you, brother.
At the moment, we are not attending any Church, and here's why.I'm blessed to learn this about you. From the smorgasboard of Churches you attended, are you folks now attending a Reformed Church?

This second question of yours deserved a better reply that a blunt 'no'.
At the moment, we are not attending any Church, and here's why.
My wife has a poor immune system and is extremely concerned of picking up a sickness/disease. She hasn't been to Church since Covid. I was going to Church (not Reformed) a month into Covid but soon became convicted that if I carried a virus home from Church and she contracted something serious, I'm not sure my conscience could deal with it. Please pray in that regard.
(I still support the Church we were attending in prayers and tithes, but it's not the same )

i certainly can understand your situation and i really appreciate the last sentence .. see there are those who can attend but simply will not./
then there are those who want to but can not due to circumstances. i like your conviction and rest assured God understands
after the virus was just a excuse for many to quit Church. i under stand with cross note and others im sure .Church use to mean somethingThe worst part is human relationships and in the Church has intensified because of the virus. Go figure.
My Dear Forgiven... I love your passion for church. I can see how DEEPLY you believe in church. You and I have spoken privately and you were kind enough to look over a fellowship that I shared with you that is only 3 miles from my home which is really walking distance for me and in a straight line. ( so that I can't get lost... HA ). I appreciate your zeal regarding the IMPORTANCE of attending a REAL CHURCH.after the virus was just a excuse for many to quit Church. i under stand with cross note and others im sure .Church use to mean something
that is all it takes its not going to Church .its what you get out of going to Church . many walk into a Church like Morris the cat picky eater. which means they are just going through the motionsMy Dear Forgiven...
