Still Worshiping With Our Lives...

Whether you're living at the beach in a glass house or in a shack on the Westside, your home can be used for God's glory. A nice place to sit, a cold drink and a meaningful conversation is all that is needed. put out that welcome mat and see what God can do.

Still Worshiping With Our Lives...

Sure, it seems fun at first. There's laughter involved and you feel better about yourself when you magnify someone else's failures; right?

Wrong! What goes down smooth and tasty will later only promote dissension and do your heart and mind no good. The next time you encounter a gossip circle or situation, try saying something nice about the person in question. Or, you may just have to walk away.

Spiritual Beliefs Survey Results...

We recently took an online survey of spiritual beliefs. We wanted to make sure we were getting through with some important principles.

55 people participated. Almost all of them reported that they attend here at Argyle frequently- 25 or more times a year, or at least half of all Sundays.

We asked why they attend Argyle. 47 say they enjoy the messages, 46 say they enjoy the music, and 39 appreciate the atmosphere. Only about half (23) reported it is close to their home. Several other responses were also recorded.

45 people described themselves as born-again, 8 reported they are Christians, and 2 are unsure about what they believe.

42 people say they pray daily, 7 say several times a week, 5 every now and then, and one reports seldom praying.

51 people are sure there is a heaven, 3 think there is, and one is not sure.

49 people are sure there is a hell, 5 think there is and one is not sure.

46 people are positive the only way to gain heaven is through Jesus Christ, 5 think that, 2 are not sure, and 2 think there may be some other way.
