Great article Gospel Assembly Church. I just read it and I printed it out and will read it again. God has instructed to come out from among them and be ye seperate saith the Lord. Wonderful word. Keep us the good work for the Lord. God bless!

I am a 51 year old woman and was raised in A holiness church. The standards today has changed so much and I am completely confussed. I feel like i have been completely brainwashed over what they call it today, man-made rules back in the day. I wasn’t able to wear shorts in school gym, dresses to the knee, very little makeup as a teenager and certain things and places were not even discussed due to being a sin. I thougt everything i would like to do would send me to hell like chearleading, wearing certain clothes and going to movies and ballgames I guess where there were drinking and bad language. I have grown to resent the way religion has lower the standards in our church to accomodate the new members. I resent being raised to feel like everything i did was going to send me to hell.. I loved my mother greatly but i have 5 sisters and brother and we are all confused…So what is right!!I see everything in churh now that i was forbidden to go, dress and etc.

The outreach meets in the bar once a month. The church gathers in church buildings. Listen or watch the sermons http://www.journeyon.net
Also, I’ve been to the outreach, there is no drunkeness, which is what the Scripture forbids, and many unbelievers attend and a some have been born again. It is one thing to do secondary research, it is another to go to the source. I recommend the latter before you lump a pastor and church together with those who compromise the gospel
Peace, brother

I appreciate your comments and I hope what you say is true. I can only go by what I have found in research. For example, an article in the respected journay, Christianity Today, says: “Theology at the Bottleworks was started to reach people who are actively opposed to Christianity, by discussing contemporary cultural issues in a neutral environment,” explained Darrin Patrick, founding pastor of the Journey, which attracts about 1,500 people weekly to three sites. Those who attend Theology at the Bottleworks grab a beer and discuss political or spiritual topics, such as the role of women in society, the legal system, or animal rights.”

Brother, you have your facts all wrong about the Journey Church in St Louis. They do not meet in a bar and pastor Patrick preaches hard against sin and for holiness. The pastor and the church would agree with much of what you have written.
