When I have a friend who is travelling overseas and they write back, I *want* to hear about what they've seen, what they've done, etc etc. While talking about God is good, if that's all they do, I get bored. We can talk about God here at home, with anyone, at any time. I can't hear about an experience on the canals of Venice or on a cruise in Mexico at any other time, from any other person. <BR/><BR/>I'm not saying they shouldn't talk about God in their letter/email. Far from it. I'm saying (forgive the double negatives) that they shouldn't NOT talk about what they've been doing on their travels and what they've seen/experienced.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403983176561111203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22646012.post-8963447433180721812009-03-24T11:38:00.000+11:002009-03-24T11:38:00.000+11:00I concor with 6 and would like to add that I think...I concor with 6 and would like to add that I think one of the greatest joys I have had in travelling is praising God with brothers and sisters of other languages that I did not know personally but knew were my family.

Of course.<BR/><BR/>But I counseled this young guys (and still would counsel it), because I would say that you are more likely (although not guaranteed) to find a church that stands on the gospel.<BR/><BR/>That was what I was thinking.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773963984084893424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22646012.post-25506424316302232402009-03-19T10:21:00.000+11:002009-03-19T10:21:00.000+11:00I don't understand why it has to be a protestant c...I don't understand why it has to be a protestant church.<BR/><BR/>Genuine question...
