Why do we sleep in church but...when the cerimony is over we suddenly wake up? Why is it so hard to talk about God but so easy to talk about sex? Why are we so bored when we look at a Christian magazine....but find it easy to read Playboy?.... Why is it so easy to ignore a Godly myspace message...yet we repost the nasty ones? Why are churches getting smaller...but bars and clubs are growing??.... Think about it...are you going to repost this or ignore it because you think you'll get laughed at? Just remember God is always watching you.

The Lord said, "Deny me now, and i will deny you in front of my father

I don't think you've found the right church. Our pastor often talks about sex and God in the same sermon. You should try Revelant magazine. Our church is getting larger. It started with 30 and now has a regular 150.

Our world is a hostile place. The scriptures tell us this. We shouldn't be surprised when we notice that it's killing itself.

Not mine, it has gone from 80 members to 850 in one year
The Yoido Full Gospel Church was founded by Mr David Yonggi Cho and Mrs Choi Ja-shil (최자실), both Assemblies of God pastors. On May 15, 1958, a worship service was held in the home of Choi Ja-shil. Apart from the two pastors, only Choi Ja-shil's three daughters (one of whom later married David Yonggi Cho) and one elderly woman, who had come in to escape from the rain, attended the first service. The two pastors began a vigorous campaign of knocking on doors, providing spiritual and humanitarian help to the poor, and praying for the sick. Within months, the church had grown to fifty members, too many to accommodate in Choi Ja-shil's living room. Worship services were accordingly moved to a tent pitched in her backyard. As the church continued to grow over the following months and years, the church outgrew one tent after another. These tents were paid for by the two pastors (who were not salaried), supported by the meager offerings of parishioners, most of whom were poor themselves.

Pastor David Yonggi Cho began preaching on the Three-Fold Blessing (the blessing of the spirit, soul, and body), proclaiming that physical health and financial prosperity are as much a part of God's will for Christians as the salvation of the soul. Inspired by his message of hope, many previously uncommitted people joined the church, and by the beginning of 1961, membership had grown to a thousand. Having grown too large for its tent, the church purchased its first plot of land, at Seodaemun (서대문).
