Welcome to Gaia! ::

Have you ever wondered about each others' style of how we as individuals enjoy worshipping God and whether or not it's the style of worship that God wants from each of us? Whether it be loud, quiet, outside, within, in word, or deed, we all use our own methods of drawing near to God and praising Him, but perhaps we would like to know which way of worship would be the right way/s.
Andy Stanley, a senior pastor at Northpoint Community Church through his 4 part DVD series "You've Got Style" addresses this concern with great detail. He mentions that God loves us no matter how we prefer to express our worship to Him and draw near to Him. He'll also love each and every one of us no matter what our personalities are, for instance, no matter how quiet or how loud we may be, because He has given us each our own spiritual gifts based on our personality and who we are.
In his DVD series, senior pastor Andy Stanley even narrows us Christians down in categories of the style we like to use to draw near to God (these categories are also listed in my poll xd ).

If you're curious about what category you might be in, just take this completely anonymous survey:

Who knows, you might be surprised at what type of Christian you are, or perhaps you could be a mixture of different categories altogether lol. I found out I'm very much an ascetic than anything else, but with also a lot of points in Contemplative coming in second place :p.

Note: It's on a scale of 1-5 so be as honest as you can lol.

biggrin forgot to memorize my results, but I got 27 on the one about changing society, and then 24 on intelectual, but I put intelectual on the poll because I feel it is actually the other way around. but that was a very accurate test.
