There were people that wondered what denomination I am apart of and what it entails.  I will be explaining what that is in this blog, so that you can understand why I felt it was hard being a preacher’s kid. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/denomination says denomination is a group having a distinctive interpretation of a religious faith and usually its own organization. I am a Christian, but I am a part of the Pentecostal denomination. Pentecostals are what I consider a little strict. We follow the bible to the letter. So my parents would tell us no smoking, drinking, or having sex before marriage it was important to follow. The bible says God sees our bodies as a temple. So by smoking, drinking, and having sex before marriage we are destroying our temple. Pentecostals also believe in the Godhead meaning God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Ghost are all one person. It is also believing God is coming back again to get his children, that obeyed his word (the bible). Growing up we could not go to certain parties, because my parents knew peer-pressure was real. I use to envy being a preacher's kid for these reasons, but as I got older I realized my parents where just protecting me. I appreciate them for it, and I now consider myself a homebody. This means I am confortable and actually like being in my house, rather than being outside. So in my next blog I will be talking to you about why I now like being a preacher’s kid and some of the judgments non-Christians make about preacher’s kids.
