TN,
Thank you.
You just showed,what the spirit showed me last
sundry.In church.
The spirit revealed,This church was a half hearted
church.(By that),I mean.
Only half of the people there loved the Lord.
The other half,setting on the premises,
relying on the promises.
So this vessel left.
If I'm not going to get filled.
I asked the spirit to lead me.Where this vessel
can get filled.To date???????????????????
Haugh. Get filled at church? Church is where you get lead astray.
"Only half of the people there loved the Lord."
That many eugh?
(Mollie be nice. )
Many many moons ago- many years ago-
I sent my pastor to a David Wilkerson pastors confrence.
TEH hotel owner where the confrence occured told David teh christain men( leaders ) at his hotel checked out more pornography than any other mens group that was there.
At Moody Radio 2 or 3 years ago they had a teen call in on sex sin. The lines were flooded by our kids getting preyed on in our churches. ( and thier parents would not believe them-just like mine. )
it happened to me. too. Made me follow Jesus and not trusted men.
Thank you Lord for showing me the sin in the church.
I will call the saints and sinners to repent and pray for them after I pweuk.
At my current church we confess our sin every week.
and we may be dead; but at least we
dont cut the heart out of the bride.
There are many believers who dont go to church in America. or go to house church.
I wonder why?
I called an A of G pastor.
You got flooded out this week and had sceduled singers who can't come.
I wil come sing.
Where do you go to church he asked?
I dont.
then you dont belong to Jesus.
Thats not what the bible says.
I know- I dont preach the bible. I tell people what i want them to hear. They dont come to my church. Lots who come leave.
I wonder why? Maybe if youd preach the bible theyd come? or theyd stay?
( Mollie be nice. )
That was in 1994. Back then I was more like the Jesus who said ; Scribes and Pahrasees- hipocrites. Whitewashed wall. Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
That is wild TN!!!!!!!! I have never been a protestant but, can attest to being stressed out by having to go to.............................M...........on Sundays. I do miss my Saturday morning worship with the Jewish brothers and sisters in Yeshua, must work though, times are tough. Its sad when being able to take a day off for worship is now a luxury, I never saw this growing up that is for sure. Its also sad now that Synagogues must now have an armed police officer at the front door for the service.
This looks like the church we left two years ago. This is why we left. I don't think God needs stage lights, super loud music, darkness except for the lights on stage, and stage smoke to be worshipped. Nor does he need a production manager busy body running around with a headset on cueing the lights and smoke and everything else. We should worship in spirit and in truth.
After a while the worship was so distracting to me that I couldn't stand it anymore. We had to leave.
I am so glad God moved us out of there.
Please don't misunderstand me, I like contemporary music and all that, but church doesn't need to imitate the world's idea of a rock concert. We are to be different than the world not try to replicate it with a "holy" spin.
BUMP !
when the Holy Spirit is not present to INSPIRE the service , then other flashy methods must be employed to fascinate those present . Dear Lord help us !
....satan in the midst of them (ENTERTAINMENT instead of holy worship )
