I'm even allowed to carry my longbow and quiver-full of arrows at this church; this was the Monday afternoon service:


 

awesome pic

I like the holy water at your church.  Might even have a few blessed brookies in it.          

If you notice, my pant legs were annointed earlier in the service 8^).

George,
anybody that can look at that picture, or any of God's portraits and say that they don't believe. must have been dropped on their head as a child. thanks for the pic.

Great area George.  Love it.

Amen George....I agree whole heartedly....

I have to agree, I probably prayed just as much in a tree stand for my people, and friends, and also some of you, as I do throughout the day when I'm not in the woods.

Each hunting season, our senior Pastor gives a general permission, for hunting, and fishing, but he also adds " not every Sunday "

And you're right, if you can't see God's handiwork in the words you need a lot of help.

As it is written in Romans....Everyone is without excuse from knowing God due to what they see around them.
(Paraphrasing)

As a Lutheran by conviction and a bowhunter by choice, I will admit that more often and not I feel more at home in the church of the outdoors than I do behind those made by human hands. Great picture.  

Nice church!!!!!!! I need to attend a service there!

You've a nice spot there, George.

Shame, George! Trying to walk on water...     You have a magic spot there, it is right that it should be cherished.

I pity people who never see the works of the Master because their world is cluttered with the works of men.

Pray for me, here in the city! I dream of my cathedral in the mountains.

Good post George!

Thank you

Wow! A religion I can finally feel a connection with!

i feel the same way, i would go to church everyday if i had the time. a picture of my church.

Yes, His creation reflects His perfection and it is comforting and soothing. I believe it is in Genesis that it says even the earth aches for His return.

Great thread George. When the sun rises as I sit on my deer stand, and the woods literally come to life around me, I am even more convinced there is a soverign God.

We only have one example of Jesus preaching inside a building.  All the rest were on hillsides and country area, small towns and villages.  And I know that all of you know better, you are the church, and if you have Jesus Christ in your life, Jesus Christ goes with you wherever you go.

Church is not about buildings and mortar and bricks, it's about you as a person, most of Jesus encounters were one-on-one.  That's where the best work is done.  Where you are alone and God talks to you and you listen, I think the woods sometimes shouts at us, and it's great to see how many listen.  It's not about religion, it's about relationship.

And every time I think I've seen a great thing in the woods, God comes along and shows me another masterpiece.

But I still have questioned " why the mosquito's" I guess He has His reasons!
