What is the purpose of the church...the place of worship? Do we really know? Are we using it to promote God's purpose or personal agendas?

Alot of people claim to have a relationship with God but they lack relationship skills with their fellow human beings...in many cases, even with those closest to them.
Do you really know what the Good News is according to the Word of God or are you learning a different 'good news' conjured up by man?
Galatians 1:6-9 (NIRV) There Is No Other Good News 6 I am amazed. You are so quickly deserting the one who chose you. He chose you to live in the grace that Christ has provided. You are turning to a different “good news.”7 What you are accepting is really not the good news at all. It seems that some people have gotten you all mixed up. They are trying to twist the good news about Christ. 8 But suppose even we should preach a different “good news.” Suppose even an angel from heaven should preach it. Suppose it is different from the good news we gave you. Then let anyone who does that be cursed by God. 9 I have already said it. Now I will say it again. Suppose someone preaches a “good news” that is different from what you accepted. That person should be cursed by God. 2 TIMOTHY 2:15 (GNT) | 15 Do your best to win full approval in God's sight, as a worker who is not ashamed of his work, one who correctly teaches the message of God's truth. When God leaves you where you are, you feel like it's an extra long time but He is just preparing you for what is to come.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS AND PRAY, WAIT AND WORK ACCORDINGLY. Many of today's sermons are geared towards telling people what they want to hear instead of what they need to know.
If your desire is not your passion then your dream is only a fantasy that will never become your reality.
The church building is not a place of convenience to be used by non-believers for weddings and funerals ...it is God's house and therefore a place of worship and not a place of business.
WHAT OFFERINGS ARE WE PRESENTING TO THE LORD IN HIS SANCTUARY? Go with God where He is taking you instead of trying to take God where you want to Go
In many cases, Christians are walking through a dying field but are not trying to save the crop.
Dear God,
I don't understand why we can follow the rules of the land but when it comes to Your rules, we feel as if we have all rights to amend them to our liking and You just have to accept our decisions of change. Please help us to understand that You are the original lawgiver; Your laws can only be amended by You and personal amendments are not one of the benefits that we have. In any army of the world, unity is immediately recognized. Anyone who does not share this vision of unity is discharged. In today's christianity, DIS-UNITY is immediately recognized and it appears as if those who try to bring unity through Your Word are shunned and discharged, while those who bring disunity through their personal and emotional opinions of your Word are embraced and deified. Help us to be mindful of the fact that at the end of it all, you are the only true lawgiver (whether it be Old Testament or New Testament); You will do the separating at the end of this age and only the ones who abide by the laws of Your Word will remain,while those who choose to amend Your laws will be discharged forever. In Jesus' name, Amen |
