I do not want my children doing something because "they are supposed to" or because it will get them in the Pastor's good graces. I want transparency in my life and in my children's. It costs a person a lot to put up a front or a mask, to become a tombstone of the faith. While you are there to stay, you are also accomplishing nothing.
But let's all dance around, inflate our numbers and pretend that we have it all together. Let's spend our services singing songs about what WE are, and preaching messages about what WE aren't~ No thanks, you can have that Old Time Religion, Just give me Jesus.

Are you a soul winner?
I came from a family of soul winners and the concept of "rotting tradition" never crossed my mind. I respect my elders.
