Hello..Church ??
Has anyone bothered to ask the Lord lately: Are we doing Ok Lord ? Show us TODAY, your way for us, Your Plan Lord.
Today women or men who receive Christ and get Saved look for a Church. Often a close friend or Christian relatve brings them into their Church. THe Church seems ill prpared to deal with them. Why ? Perhaps one of the reasons is "Doctrines of Men"
Perhaps the Church has gotten set in Her ways. Most people , like myself , through experience pretty much discern "the order of the day".
The Lutheran Church proceeds thusly : Calm down, shhhhh, others don't understand your being "saved" Lay low.
The Baptists thusly: Is he/she really saved ? Do they meet our 12 point criteria ? If they do maybe they qualify to give
a testimony. Hey don't we have five District meetings this week and 3 Conventions?
The Assemblies of God thusly : Hmm if they'll act like us , talk like us, walk like us and dress like us.......maybe.
Nursery and Potluck for the women. Men's Fellowship breakfast, and weekend retreat for the men.
Catholics thusly: "Hierarchy is Us", Protocol is god.
So we could go on and on . What do we do ? My Bible says that Christ is the Head of the Church, Jesus Christ that is. An Us ? We are the Body of Christ, functioning as the head directs. What description fits your Church ?:
Elitist, Secular, Exclusive, Big Business,
Small Business, Sexist, Territorial,
Self Righteous,Grapevine, Intimidating
Controling, Cultish ??????
Perhaps you are Blessed and have a wonderful Church, but this is not so for many.
HELLO...Church ? Get back to Your First Love. REVELATION 2: 4
