CHC VS NCC

laurence82 SG

nobody is in any mainstream ones, like the Anglicans or the Prebysterian?

Icemoon SG

huh .. the rest are what. unker, neon, sillyme blah blah ..

laurence82 SG

I see

Been seeing large numbers of youth moving towards the charismatic movements

vince69 SG

Friends follow friends? Smile

Icemoon SG

they have been vigourous in promoting the faith. the environment and message appeal

laurence82 SG

Hmm, no idea really, coz i didnt ask

But you will see that charismatic churches is a touchy topic over at Chit Chat forum, mainly anger over the methods of evangelising and issue of large tithe which goes into a lot of extravagances, like church buildings

You attend Church Service to serve God and obey the Commandment of keeping the Sabbath Day Holy. Yet people wants to compare those Megachurches. What’s the point behind those critics ? Remember, judged and you’ll be judged.

laurence82 SG

Judge? For one, i am not a christian, so you got to look where i am coming from, for example, when i talk about methods of evangelism

As for financial issues, imagine this scenario, which i must state is not a generalisation of megachurches yet, where your kids attend a church for dubious purposes, and where he spent awful lot of time and donatin large sums of monies. Its not even a judgement yet, but certainly, a cause for concern.

See my point?

vince69 SG

you refering to that hot topic with many threads Wink ?

laurence82 SG

yesh, but have to ignore most of the posts, which are merely the works of trolls

the only the first few posts make sense or reflect genuine concern and peeves

Chin Eng SG

I agree with lau.

For starters, I do wish for Christians to stop using the phrase: "judge and you'll be judge" Most of those who use this phrase don't even understand the context of the usage.

If my sons start to get involve in a church so much that they neglect their family and their school work, I will have an issue with it. As a matter of fact, I encourage my Sunday School teachers to place their own families as a priority over their service in the ministry. If one cannot take care of his own house, he cannot take care of God's house.

I agree with your statements, I was in that megachurch for few years. When i was in there, everyday i'm busy with church stuff e.g bible study, prayer meeting (not inclusive of my quiet time at night), give 10%of my money (weather i earn it or my parents give, 10% will definately goes to church), offering (in cg and svc) and plus activities (e.g bbq, games day etc). I'm always poor even though i was holding a job.

At the later part, then i know that church staff are paid quite high monthly though no claims etc. This explains why they always urge the members to give generously. Imagine the highest pay was $8000. Rolling Eyes

I have no time for my family/friends or for anyone else. Until i get into depression and think of all that i done. The church dont worth so much of my time and money. Ultimately, i'm not getting paid to do all these (my phone bills always shoot up high) and my relationship with family/friends were drift apart. My parents say the house is like a hotel to me, came back eat and sleep only. Sad Whenever we have outings (with pri sch friends) i can't attend b'cos of church.

I'm glad that i've left the church and visit another church which is smaller (in membership and building) but its much more relax and dont require so much of me. Smile

Chin Eng SG

I am glad for you too. Wink
Our first and most important mission field is our home. If our testimony at home is bad, we can forget about going out to reach the nations.

I've actually encouraged one of my SS teachers to quit SS and the Children's ministry because her home life and relationship with her husband and kids are suffering because of the amount of time she's spending in church.

Any church that makes excessive demands on one's time and money is not worth going to.

Icemoon SG

That's right. For Christians to conquer the world, they should follow the Confucian adage - xiu shen qi jia zhi guo ping tian xia. Laughing

SS? You're not Hitler, are you? Shocked

laurence82 SG

Explain xiu shen qi jia guo ping tian xia

I dont study Higher Chinese one

Ito_^ SG

xiu sheng qi jia means scholar background..?

Icemoon SG

It means cultivate yourself, get your family in order .. then you can rule the country and ultimately the world.

Chin Eng SG

M©+square SG

As much as some people are trying to be neutral. But the tinge of biaseness onto CHC is obvious.
