10 Easy Ways to be a Religious Hypocrite

  1. Gossip about someone in the form of a “prayer request.”
  2. Say you trust God, but don’t tithe.
  3. Hold onto a grudge.
  4. Say you’ll pray for someone, but avoid talking to them.
  5. Make church the only time and place you crack your Bible open.
  6. Don’t bring up your faith to others.
  7. Curse at people in traffic while listening to K-LOVE.
  8. Put your amusement before the needs of others.
  9. Care more about what people think about you, than what God knows about you.
  10. Never admit wrong-doing toward others/Never initiate reconciliation.

Re:Church

Edgewood is very excited to bring a new event beginning on the weekend of September 17-18. In all 3 of our adult services (as well as Elevate, our youth service on Sun. 10:45am) we are bringing the focus back on church. A lot of people get out of church for many reasons:

  • Had a bad experience.
  • Got busy.
  • Got bored.
  • Got hurt…

And there are so many distractions, pressures, and priorities pulling us in every direction. Over and over in the Bible, we see God with this habit of not throwing things away. He recycles, restores, and rebuilds. This fall, it’s time to rediscover the God who has never once given up on you. Join us, and return to a church that wants to help you reconnect with God.

We’re believing God to do powerful things in many, many peoples lives this fall. If you haven’t been in church for awhile, we want to welcome you back for another look. We believe you’ll be surprised by what you find. If you are already in church, then this is a great opportunity to bring a friend with you. People reach people.

Begin praying now, and inviting others to experience God at Edgewood for Re:Church!

Blessings,

John

You may have recently seen that I am trying to raise financial support, and I would like to explain why... Last year, I was gently (yet firmly) challenged by a mentor. This dear friend knows my heart, and has seen me pour my guts into the ministry for many years. He's also been one of my biggest
