Why I Belong to Westgate

It was a somewhat busy day at work today but I'm glad I'm off for two days.  I enjoyed our LIFE group tonight.  We discussed what brought us to the Westgate Church of Christ and why we have stayed-- and how do we get others to become part of God's family here.

I started going to Westgate because my sister Marti was a member and I have stayed because I can see and feel the love everyone has for each other and for those less fortunate and in need.  Westgate is a church on fire for God and opportunities abound for serving Jesus and others.

One thing I learned tonight is that you don't have to have a scriptural or theological answer for everything in order to invite someone to church.  People today are more interested in knowing you care about them and belong to a loving, friendly church than in what your specific beliefs or orthodoxy is.  If they feel the love, then they'll be more interested in learning all the truths Jesus has taught.

Have a good week and feel free to offer any comments or suggestions.  Thanks.
