Rossland Ridge Bible Chapel

Aren't churches a place of community? I live across the street and these houses only have room for 2 cars max because they build neighbourhoods as small as possible these days. So if you park at the massive parking lot at the church overnight and even when there is no one there and no function happening, they leave a note threatening to tow your car because they need space for members. When no one is there even. Yes. Meanwhile, even when the church is "full" the parking lot isn't even HALF occupied! So much for community. The church is no longer included in neighbourhood watch as far as I'm concerned.

With regards to the last gentleman’s post: Sharing resources with others, including parking spaces, can be viewed as a way to practice Christian values. By not allowing another man to park his vehicle in your parking lot, you may inadvertently be acting in a manner that contradicts these values. For example: Practicing the Golden Rule: The Bible teaches Christians to treat others as they themselves would like to be treated. By denying another person access to your parking lot, you are not treating them as you would like to be treated in a similar situation Matthew 7:12. Emulating Jesus' Example: Jesus Christ set an example of love and selflessness for his followers. He often went out of his way to help others, even those who were considered societal outcasts Luke 5:27-32, Luke 10:30-37. By sharing your parking lot, you are emulating Jesus' example of kindness and generosity. Encouraging Hospitality: Throughout the Bible, there are numerous examples of people showing hospitality to strangers, such as Abraham hosting three visitors in Genesis 18:1-8. By allowing someone to park in your lot, you are demonstrating the Christian value of hospitality. Loving Your Neighbor: Jesus commanded his followers to love their neighbors as themselves Mark 12:31. Sharing your parking lot with another person is an act of love and care for your neighbor. Expressing Compassion: Compassion is a central teaching in Christianity Colossians 3:12. By providing someone with a parking space, you are showing compassion for their needs and easing their burdens. Building Community: Christianity emphasizes the importance of community and unity among believers 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. By sharing your resources, you are contributing to a sense of community and fostering relationships with your fellow Christians. Demonstrating Stewardship: Christians are called to be good stewards of the resources God has given them 1 Peter 4:10. By allowing someone to use your parking lot, you are being a responsible steward of the resources entrusted to you. : Thus, it can be argued that it is un-Christian to not allow another man to park his vehicle in your parking lot. By sharing your resources, you are practicing the Golden Rule, emulating Jesus' example, encouraging hospitality, loving your neighbor, expressing compassion, building community, and demonstrating stewardship. These acts align with the core teachings of Christianity and exemplify what it means to be a follower of Christ. For shame…for shame

First of all, solid, unerring Bible teaching! Something that is very rare to find these days. And, the people are so very welcoming! We were visiting while on vacation. Several people welcomed us and chatted with us for several minutes. Another couple invited us to a barbecue at their home, which we attended and had a delightful time. If my husband and I come back to this area to vacation again, I know where we will go on Sunday! Highly recommend.

Always smiles!
