       Every church has its own way of going about things. You might not think that would to be case, I mean, after all, aren’t we all Christian? But knowing that there are all kinds of Christian denominations means that there are going to be all kinds of different offerings and perspectives when approaching the Bible. Each church tells its people how they should act, and what they should focus on. Even what a person’s goals should be. And then, of course, what to avoid altogether. Churches teach their people what things are bad. Some things are okay in some churches, while other churches might go so far as to call those things sins. So, there definitely isn’t consistency across the board, not by any stretch. The important thing for us is that we become ‘aware’ of what these positions are, and that we carefully evaluate whether they are aligned with what we really believe inside ourselves. There really is no worse position to be in than to be in a church where you find yourself constantly disagreeing with what is said. That isn’t going to do anybody any good.
