Wrong. God wants his children to be happy and full of enjoyment. He wants them to be full of life and prosper. He wants us to celebrate him and ourselves

Interpret that as you want.

she will tell me all about it the next time I talk to her, I just wanted to be better prepared next time.

I don't think it's Bethany based on their "Beliefs" page. Bethany appears to be more strict in their beliefs.

I was raised Catholic and while I have my own beliefs and do not attend mass, I do agree, it should be about sacrifice. I was always taught that by going to mass you are giving an hour of your time to god

But I do understand that people have the right to practice their faith however they feel is best for them, but I do think that these megachurches has become more of a form of entertainment than anything. The music, the lights, the high energy.

That has been used to make people feel good. They get a rush from all of it. Like going to a LSU football game. The roar of the crowd, the music, the excitement is an experience that makes them return.

But I don't think the Catholic church has done itself many favors over the past 15 year, which has played a factor in people seeking other ways to worship.

Sin will always push, drive, and/or lead people away from God.

It doesn’t just effect the sinner and or the victims but also the bystanders.

The same can be said for good and holy acts.

The war is during this life and good shall overcome.
