God Works in Mysterious Ways...
Here's an unusual point of view. Dr. Matt Friedeman, now a conservative, Biblical clergyman and columnist for Agape Press, looks back on his childhood in a "dead, liberal church," theologically bankrupt, not faithful to God's word--and gives thanks. See his column, "Thanksgiving: Thanking God for That Dead, Liberal Church" at http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/11/212005mf.asp. Goes to show you that God can use even a "dead" church to work on a child's heart and connect that child to Him for life. Before we write off churches we view as heterodox and generally useless, we might pause to remember that these churches, too, belong to Jesus Christ. And He can use them in unexpected ways.
