Welcome to Gaia! ::

Who are we? We are a group of people who "claim" to be Christian. But we do not "claim" to be friends. We "claim" to be Christ like. But will do things behind other backs. I was a member of this guild for a season. I left for my own reasons. I am what I claim to be. I claim nothing. Meaning I do not hide under a mask of saying I am something. My words and actions speak for me. I like my avi do not wear a mask ever. Not even a Halloween mask. Can we agree to dis-agree? Can we be different but the same? I do not know. You can see what is behind my mask cause I do not wear one. What is behind your mask?

That is what I am getting at. The Community sees and and judges us by what we do. I left the sports bar and if I told the stuff I have seen in it It would be terrible. I very rarly see people who do not wear a false face. I have seen pastor of churches walk out of the bar so drunk they could barly stand. I have a special needs child. I am very prideful of his what he has done. If I walked in your church with my group of special need children. What would the congration reaction be? We have been asked to leave a few times. Would we be welecome? Or is a mask in place.

I come from a group of very good Christians. I dont hide myself behind a mask. I am a sinner, Im not afraid to say it. I have done some bad things. But I am a child of God, and I am not afraid to say that either.

My church is called Harvest Worship Center (A place of Hope and Restoration) I have been going to that church ever since I was about 3 years old. My uncles the preacher. I was with my congregation family from the time we watched our church burn to the ground, to the time we saw our new God given building come up (20 times bigger than the storefront) My church would love your child. I mean Love. In my church we take in all kinds of people. WE GO GET them from thier houses if they cant physically make it themselves. We dont care where they came from, we dont care what they did, we dont even ask. We dont even want to know. We have one mentally handicaped child. She is so precious, we have watched her grow and learn from a baby. She always needs help walking, and someone is always there holding her up. When I say my church brings in people, heh heh. I sat beside a couple of convicts last Sunday. One of them has been studying with pastor for a long time, and has become a liscensed minister. They are from our prison ministry, brother Larry wakes up early to go get them. And we bring in homeless people, from the rescue misson. They are some of the nicest people. We help them get on thier feet. We treat these people just like they were anyone else. I mean thats the way God sees them, isnt it? We want to be like God.

We dont even have a denomination. We dont want to label ourselves. We dont want to scare ANYONE off, lol.

Hey, come to my church. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. We would welcome you with wide open arms.

Harvest Worship Center, Panama City, Florida.

I dont wear a mask so anything someone wants to know about me is either obvious or can be easily found out by how i behave or just asking me. i am aware of my faults therefore i do not claim perfection. no human is perfect. even the Bible says that we all sin and fall short of the glory. therefore there is not reason to wear a mask. wearing a mask is not only being deceitful to others. it is also being deceitful to yourself and hurting yourself.

The minority of "Christians" who profess to love god but don't live according to his laws give the majority of those Christians who really do love God a bad name.

I'm a member of a Christian Club at our school. Many think were a cult of some kind which is absolutly not true. I think it's our obligation as Christian to tell others what being a Christian is really about. Many people just don't know what we stand for or what Christianity really is other than a religion.

God Bless!
