Searching for a church is difficult, granted. But it is made even more difficult by people seemingly either wanting a church they "like" or a church that has things that entertain. The Biblical model of a church was basically two things. They were taught the Word of God ( clever concept) and they spent time together sharing and caring. No one was concerned about Youth groups, Nursery and ruckus, professional praise songs (along with lighting and refreshments). What mattered most then, matters least today. At Southwood we offer 4 different classes a week. Bibles are required. Notebook and pencils are suggested. And, of course, be ready to think God's thoughts after class.

Let me begin with a few introduction points. Number one I am a cynic. That is a person who believes that people are motivated purely by self-interest rather than acting for honorable or unselfish reasons. The movie industry, even faith-based movies need to please the masses to make money. PERIOD. Number two, I went to PAUL with a closed mind firmly believing no movie (especially one by Sony) would do justice to God's Word. Number three, I also went knowing most of the crowd know little or next to nothing about God's word. On all three points, I was not disappointed.
I will do a brief review with those points in mind.
Why has the Word of God left the Church?
