I grew up in the church, ...Wonderful article, Tina.<br />I grew up in the church, so you could say I've been jaded by a lot of wrong notions about God. I grew up believing that I wasn't good enough to be a Christian, that no matter how hard I tried, I would never be worthy of God's blessing. I had a twisted sense of God, but it was mostly because of wrong leadership and abuses in the church I was a part of.<br />Thankfully, I got liberated from that despair. Now, God has been made real to me in other ways. I am still a Christian, but I'm leaning towards the emergent church's beliefs that Christianity is for ALL, not just a handful of saved. I'm grateful for the witness of real people who love God--the BIG God that He really is--not the boxed up, strict, and unrelenting God that my former spiritual elders painted Him to be.<br />Now, I can be confident that I can give my own child a clear, unbiased glimpse of God.Martinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14515951047228352711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2452653556746370345.post-47259643693146816912011-09-10T23:57:36.906+08:002011-09-10T23:57:36.906+08:00Giada just learned to recite "The Lord is My ...Giada just learned to recite "The Lord is My Shepherd."

The God I believe in is more powerful, more rebellious and more graceful that the God rigid Catholics believe in. This is what I want to pass on to my kids. I also want them to be aware of other religions, ours isn't the only one and ours isn't necessarily the best. But I have to learn how to do it in small, simple dozes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02185728337087852643noreply@blogger.com
