"I know Saint Peter Won't Call My Name"-- Cold Play (Vida la Vida)

A friend of mine pointed out this lyric in Cold Play's Vida la Vida song. I can't let the opportunity pass me by to tell others how their name CAN be written in the Lamb's Book of Life. You may say church isn't for you and God is just not your thing... but you haven't experienced Central Church of God.

We hear technical definitions of religious things, but at Central, you experience these definitions. As I was sitting in the pew, I could feel something that I've never felt before. People are always searching for something to make them complete...love, romance, parties, the gym, alcohol, etc and everything they do can't seem to satisfy.

I felt something powerful, real, and completely satisfying... the Holy Spirit. To me, the Holy Spirit is the power that ignites the soul, no matter the color of your skin, physical appearance, where you've been or where you're going, uniting believers with an uncontrolable passion for one God.

I also came to understand what church was. If you are broken, hurting, happy, lost, etc. you can come shout Halleighlujah, sit in wonder, smile and lift your hands, with others who are seeking the Healer, the Father, the Provider, the Savior. I felt at home, I felt like I was in heaven. And if the best of Earth is the worst of Heaven, I know I want to spend eternity there.

To have your name called out by Saint Peter, all you have to do is Accept that Jesus is Lord. Believe that you're not perfect. and Commit your life to Him. I KNOW without a doubt the Bible is real, prayer is real, and God is real, because when I start reading, praying, and seeking the Lord my life starts changing.

"If you come in to church feeling weak, and leave weak...you ain't been to church!" Every week is a battle, there are hardships and trials, and church is where we go to get strong and feel love... not to feel guilty or like a hypocrite. And a church in Charlotte I strongly recommend is Central Church of God!

Get saved, then get STRONG!
