In response to "How do you define Church membership?"

I don't think I've ever been a part of a church that's required formal membership. Most of my church experiences have been with churches that roughly approximate membership by general numbers, and allow people to decide for themselves whether they consider themselves members of the church or are just visiting. Some people jump right in and consider themselves members after a few weeks, and others can go for months before considering themselves a part of the church. Everyone's different, I suppose!

In response to "Does dress matter in church. leadership?"

(Answer to comment above sent via email)

Thanks for your comment. The church referred to was Southern Baptist. I was thinking more in general terms. I myself like wearing jeans and when I was younger shorts. However just as the church was far more formal years ago it is now often dressed down a lot. Pastors and deacons should not overly care what people think but while dress should never be overly emphasized, they should respect their position of servanthood. This is why I think the more formal pastors should dress down occasionally and those who always dress down should consider more formality.

In response to "Does dress matter in church. leadership?"

You didn't say what denomination you were, but maybe it doesn't matter. I attend a United Methodist church that has lay folks help with the elements. I've never really noticed what they were wearing. It didn't make any different to the congregation whether they wore suits or casual. I grew up Catholic and my wife is Lutheran, and those giving the elements always wore vestments of some sort.

In response to "How can you compare it?"

I thought this was absurd as well. If government give rights, it can also take them away. That's the most dangerous belief of all. Thanks for sharing.

In response to "Honoring the Lord in our Bodies"

Thanks for the comment.

I admit that just because something has Eastern or mystic roots does not make it evil and yes a lot depends on teachers of such arts. However. So much of them like yoga is actually Eastern mystical practice and worship. the importance of understanding where such items are based is important because of the dangers to suffocating ones first love which should be Christ. It is not coincidence that individuals involved in such practices often have an extra amount of messed up in their lives. Satan is a counterfeiter and if he can't dominate our senses through something like lust or more obvious addiction why not through hidden sensuality or even hidden homage to pagan deities?

In response to "Honoring the Lord in our Bodies"

I don't think I've ever associated yoga, martial arts, dancing, or healthcare with evil. Some of those things definitely have their roots in Eastern culture, but I don't know that I believe that equates to something being evil. Although I suppose, like with most things, evil is more about the intention behind its use rather than the thing itself...

What is a Christians greatest weakness from the worlds view?

Christians greatest weakness and greatest strength is the Truth. As demonstrated in the gospels Jesus does not tell us everything and Christians can be great statesmen, not being above a little politicking like Paul who knew how to divide the Sanhedrin. Christians are called to be as shrew as serpents and innocent as doves. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. Christians walk in truth. Unlike nearly every other belief system, from Islam to the Atheist, which actually encourage lying to advance their agendas In the The Christian relationship we are calle to walk in the light and proclaim the truth. This is one reason why the faithful are feared and hated because of their unadulterated penchant for truth.
