Don’t throw out the baby w/ the bath water

October 23rd, 2009

Recently I was talking to a small group member about some issues we have with CFC. There are some issues that I disagree or question. I disagree with infant baptism. I question the practical implementations of the courtship model (but agree w/ the underlying principles), if we can be training people better, and some other minor issues. All in all, I probably disagree with maybe 10% of what CFC does. Sometimes that 10% seems like so much but it also means that I do agree with 90% of all that CFC does and I think CFC does that 90% exceptionally well.

There will always be something I disagree with no matter which church I attend. There is no perfect church. What is not to say that something that I may disagree with now, I will agree with later and vice versa as I grow in my faith and understanding? So long as I agree with the core mission and theology, the majority of methods, and am growing and benefiting in my walk with Jesus, then I should not discard it based on a few differences (though core theological differences would be a completely different matter). Though I might have disagreements, CFC is my church and I will continue to support it.
