The Church World Today

-
Man in his disobience tries an alternate source of truth. Most ministers of today will skip the 5th chapter of James and what they are suppose to do and say that God created the doctors. Doctors are for the sinner and the disobedient. All that God has is for the obedient. There is not one place in the scriptures where the true believers need an artifical leg or arm, pacemaker ... etc. Where can you read that Jesus or the apostles sent anyone to the doctor? Healing is the major part of salvation. Restoring the relationship with God is the other part.

I wonder why people want to go to heaven ... when you look around at the way so called Christians are living today!? The Bible says in the Lord's Prayer, live on earth as it is in heaven; AND they are not. So, why do people want to go to heaven?
-
Why do the churches of the world want to ignore the word of God? He gives us all we need to know. If they turn to the word of God then they have to turn away from the fund raisers, from the committees and all the other political and worldly actions in the church. Instead of glorifying the building and the congregation they would be forced to glorify God.

The richest church is the one that cares for the poor of its community.

The churches today have diet, diet, diet on their mind. They have dieting prayers. Yes, dieting prayer ... too much takes too much time ... stay lean! That's the satanic plan! The Lord says, "If My people who are called by My Name shall humble themselves and pray ....!" But the churches will hold seminars and such about weight control, about how to do this and that; where is prayer? Prayer changes all things; ALL THINGS. That includes any need you may have. Why won't the churches stay open for prayer? Forget the socializing ... get in prayer. Change everything around you!

As part of my worldly job I have to visit our customers. One of them is a large Baptist church. While I was in talking to the contact people there, some of the ministers were discussing the Terri Schiavo case. They were looking for Biblical references to support a position one way or another. When one of the ministers said that he couldn't find any I spoke up and reminded them of James 5. If there are any sick among you let them call upon the elders of the church. Let them lay hands and pray and the sick shall be healed.
The response was, "Well yeah there's that" and they walked away. -
The biggest spiritual killer for the church today is compromise.

Why is it that the big-time 'so called' preachers say that God has given them the Word for your blessings. They pray a prayer to curse those spirits that have you bound. There's one in Columbus that is burning stuff; there's another preaching your finances; another is cursing the generational curses ... yet the blind keep coming and going with no deliverance. The crippled keep hobbling in, no deliverance. The deaf devil gets its own section for its hand jive. The devil is still coming in and mocking these preachers and no one is paying attention. The bible tells us that the devil creeps in and the only thing that it can bring is unbelief. Satan says, "God can, IF He wants too." Think about it.

Samuel could not change the mind of God when Saul got out of line ... Jesus could not change the mind of God when He offered the cup back. Why do church folk want to change the mind of God to be less than Holy?
-
We call ourselves Brothers and Sisters in the LORD - Elders - Bishops - Evangelists and all of that... we need to look at the truth and come out and say, "Something is missing!" When the church took out true Holiness and put in something that the world could 'stomach' ... we lost.

How is it that ministers, evangelists and the like can say that the LORD has revealed this thing and that thing to them (freely) and they want to turn around and charge the people to hear or read it?

Why do television minister have 800 numbers for people to call to order items from them or to make reservations for conventions and seminars that they hold but when it comes to prayer requests; the people have to pay long distance fees to reach out? Something is very wrong with that!
