John had family in town last weekend and one family member who attended Covenant with him isn't used to our type of church. We are a modern Methodist church and this man is used to his conservative baptist church.
It sounds like they had an interesting conversation after the service and John summarized it for me this way:
You can be scared into it or loved into it and I'd rather be loved into it.
I hope I'm that pastor that always leads be to be "loved into" a living and growing relationship with Jesus Christ and not "scared into" it.
