Looking for a church?

[99NCXJ]

I know most all of you probably have a home church but I thought i'd put out an open invite to anyone in the area that is looking for one. We are a Pentecostal Church of God and are located in Gastonia, NC on Red Bud Dr. Morning services is at 10:30, night is at 6:00. Also have wed. night class at 7:00. If anyone wants directions, or more info, pm me. Hope to see some of you.

oh, i forgot...Its called Maranatha Temple.

Thanks for the invite. I think I've seen it,before when working in Gastonia. I'm not looking for a Church, but I have several friends in Gaston County who may be interested. I'll pass the word.

This may be one of those hijack thingys....

This family of Indians from India bought a convince store near me. The people around here don't seem to be very welcoming. I was in there the other day and over hear the father tell another customer that " Christmas was very important to his family" I didn't think of it til later. But would I be out of line asking them if they wanted to come to my Church? And if not how would you go about bridging the subject?

P.S. keep in mind I am a new Christian and although I want all people to go with us to Heaven I may be out of bounds...

The only boundries that are set to Christians are the ones that Jesus set. He said Go unto all the world and tell ALL. They may be Christians that have dark skin. Just ask them. They will not be offended. If they are then be a Christian, and show then Love.

Show them love regardless of how they believe! :wink:

Galatians 5:14
The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

God's love is the "light" that Jesus referred to in Matthew 5:14 - it flows thru us by the Holy Spirit. How can we attract others to join the Kingdom of God if we do not SHOW them love? It is easy to "talk" love - and most people (Christian or not) know talk is cheap - but by actually doing it, the Lord is working thru us to change their hearts. ;-) Simply put - by showing love for others, we plant a seed in their hearts & minds - and that seed belongs to the Lord of the harvest (Jesus). We must trust Him to work His will in their lives, but do our part by continuing to be an example of the love of God.

It sounds hard to love others, and sometimes it is. But, rest assured the Lord will bless the seed you plant, and you will reap a supernatural joy from it. Not just in heaven, but in this life as well! ;-)
