When I was a teenager, you could find me in church EVERY Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday and some Friday's; now that's all changed. I (along with countless others) barely get up and go on Sunday mornings.Church has become a joke and it's truly NOT what GOD intended for it to be. You have all types of Foolery going on and it needs to stop! You have all types men and women giving themselves titles (Bishop, Bishoptess, Arch Dioceces, Elderess, Prophet, Prophetess, etc) and who appointed them to be such? Being Christians (so they say), they're supposed to follow the guidelines of the Life of JESUS CHRIST.
Now, I've read the bible, and no where in the book does it says JESUS Hates, yet I have heard minsiters of the gospel say the exact opposite. I watched a man (via video) who claims to be called of GOD tear singer/songwriter Kelly Price to shreads standing outside the church where she was to minister in song, calling her a harlot and screaming she has NO RIGHT to gospel music! He quoted the scripture "Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?" (James 3:11)
Excuse me,but by callin ger her names aren't you going against that very scripture? where was the love? all he gave was rebuke and judgement. I watched this same man attend a gay pride event on a beach carrying a huge sing that read GOD HATES FAGS!! and used the scriptures to back his hatred. Now, out of all the things listed in the Bible that GOD hates, "Fags" was not in the listing; However, a lying tongue was listed twice! So all you liars out there spitting hatred and judgement in the name of Jesus, I hope you're telling the Truth at all other times in your life or you will be in the same hell you're casting others into!
Look,this is one of the very reasons peopel have not a desire to step foot in a church, who wants to come to a place where they'll be judged and ridiculed? especially by someone who's doing the same things and more than they are?!
The objective is to WIN SOULS NOT REPEL THEM AWAY! The key to draw men unto HIM is LOVE!
REAL LOVE is what's missing from the world and the church. The church is suppose to be a place of refuge, a place where one can come to receive comfort, help, and even chastisement as long as it's done with and in love. 2nd Timothy says " Preach The Word! Be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage- WITH GREAT Patience and careful instruction."
I've seen many openly rebuked and there was absolutely NO ENCOURAGEMENT. A lot of times pastors are going on hear say and not what GOD says. Matthew 7:1 " Judge NOT lest ye be judged" in other words, you too will be judged in the same manner by GOD if you keep up your shenanigans!
Pastors, stop running after the prestige, clout, offering plate and the titles and go after GOD! Go out and really win souls for the Kingdom! There is a dying world and the biggest concern is " I hope we raise enough money for..." Really?
And please will a real MAN or WOMAN of GOD stand up! Some one who cares about the people and not the paper chase. I guarantee so many people will come in flocks to the church if they felt or knew someone truly cared.
This is another reason why people do NOT attend church, people such as THIS!..This is a HOT mess! Please comment and let's discuss WTH has happend to the church!
It seems to me that most churches lost sight of their purpose a long time ago. And I will even go further to say they I don't think a lot of them can be redeemed because they simply don't possess the love of Christ in their hearts - and they don't want to. They, like secular society , seem to bask in the inequalities and class disparities that many people face daily because it makes them feel important, elevated above the rest of mankind; they deny their imperfection, faults and flaws; they lack humility; they believe they're soul-winners for God but in actually they are murderers! The spiritual violence is gross! As for the guy you mentioned who boycotted Kelly Price's performance and attended the gay pride event - he's an idiot plain and simple and should be overlooked. And we wonder why society only seems to be getting worse as each year passes by...
