So my homegirl and I were riding home and we got into this mini conversation about our church and how we feel about what it has become over the years. (Rewind: My homegirl and I grew up together in this church. We weren't that close until this past year & now we're almost inseparable. it's good to have lifelong friends that u can chill with @ the club & @ church.) She was saying that even though her heart resides at our church she doesn't fully understand the teachings our pastor does. Not to say that he isn't a good pastor because he is a Wonderful Man of God and we both love him dearly (He's like a second father to me) but his teachings and preachings aren't that interesting to our generation X mentalities.
I agree to her feelings to a certain extent, see my problem isn't really the teachings because I do feel I get something out of his word. It may not be all of what I needed but it is something. My problem is that even though there are so many hypocrites in the church that I don't feel the sincerity in their worship. Yes I know you can't let other people stand in the way of your relationship with GOD but it's hard to see the people you look up to in the spiritual sense and respect them in church after watching them live secular lives every other day.
All I want to know is how do young women like ourselves who desire the word and the experience receive the word from an older out dated source and still get what we want/need from it? What more is there to do & will we just have to do it ourselves?
