Ok so my girlfriend and I just attempted to go to the 10:30 service, seeing as that this was our first time and didnāt realky know where to go. We thought our first site to stop at should be the coffee bar. My son was with us, so I gave my girlfriend some money for both of our coffees, she went into the line alone. After a short while I noticed a Middle Aged man has struck up a conversation with her, I didnāt think much of it because this guy had a nice gold name and acted like he worked for the church. As my girlfriend started to order for us this guy wouldnāt let her pay for her coffee, he bought hers but didnāt pay for the second drink she ordered which was mine. Now right there is a red flag. This guy John continued to bombard her with questions that were to personal for this situation. First chance she had she rushed over to me. The church volunteers John came up to me introducing himself. The energy he put off was not good making us all very uncomfortable. All in all itās unfortunate that some people just canāt listen when a chick says im here with my boyfriend multiple times and still doesnāt get the point. I may not be explaining this situation to the best of my abilities, but Iām sure any one can pick up on why we turned around and walked out of that church. Cause this is not a place you can feel safe and protected at. Especially if you donāt want your girlfriend chased after by vultures such as John. Thanks but we...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreJudgement serves 2 purposes in the church bc that's the only place christians can exercise judgement is with other believers. We are commanded not to judge unbelievers. So judgement helps correct the sin error of another believer and keeps the flock from becoming corrupt by the sin error of other brethren. Grant it this does not occur in churches today for fear of offending the sinner and losing tithe revenue. We sampled the Dallas campus last Sunday and were shocked by half the women barely clothed. Their bits and pieces were covered but everything above the chest was exposed and everything below the upper thigh was exposed. It would have been no different if they wore a beach towel. I can see why men would love attending for the opportunity of a church sanctioned peep show. Mature spirit filled women should know what the Word says about a woman dressing...particularly for a church service in "the house of God". It is leadership's responsibility to deliver a message of modesty in the love and sound doctrine of the Word. We cannot attend this church for this very reason. Again I hold church leadership accountable they are to shepard women on the importance of modesty in the church. This is so sad.š I liked Pastor Morris teaching on Youtube and was saddened by what I found at...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy husband and I attended Gateway this morning and LOVED IT! The music was spirit-filled. We must have been met by 12 people before we got to our seats. This was the first time here so we were both impressed at how many people from the church touched us in some way before finding a seat. The message was inspirational and yet Pastor Robert Morris broke it down so it was easy to understand. We're HUGE fans of Harvest America (March 6th) and so we chose to attend Gateway because they helped to promote the evangelical event here in Dallas. I got saved in 1994 at a Harvest event so a church/pastor that helps further the gospel thru evangelism venues like Harvest America, is a blessing to me because a church/pastor promoted this same event long ago so that I could make THE BEST decision in my life: accepting Jesus! I particularly enjoyed the ability to have someone pray for you at the end of the service. WOW! They truly care for people...
