The Churches from the past and the Churches now are very different.

In the past, and now,  are not those all (everyone) who are seeking Yahweh's Kingdom seeking a true church in place of the worldly church ?

Did you find many or any that pass the test of Scripture ?   Mainly believe and follow Jesus, with Scripture as the Standard, as Yahweh Reveals by His Spirit the Truth of Salvation to little children JOYOUSLY in His Good Pleasure !

The Church of Philadelphia was the only one that God looked upon favorably.

There have been 3 or more in the usa,  and quite a few in mainland communist China recently, and a few in many places as it is written ..... His called out and chosen ones in every nation, set apart by Him Himself,  as His Own Word Says, for His Own Testimony as He Pleases.

Here is something so simple a simple babe in Christ would know and treasure it.

You remember when JESUS said FIRST pull the plank out of your own eye , THEN you shall SEE clearly HOW to HELP the other.

ITS all about Loving JESUS above everything , man woman or child , wife or husband.   How do we love HIM,  WE LOVE and treasure HIS SAYINGS .

IF we truly LOVE HIM ,   we see very clearly HOW to help the other...................By what WE LOVE,     is his sayings JEFF,  its always been about HIS SAYINGS.

tis why by grace I love them.   And when people ponder about things like remarriage,    ITS JESUS TREASURED LOVED WORDS I bring .     And ONLY those.

ITS TRULY about what we love .  AND if we love HIM.  we upmost LOVE HIS sayings and have no desire to twist a single one of them.  WE just love them.   they LIFE

SO how many REALLY LOVE JESUS and how many can really SEE how to help the other.   ITS HIS SAYINGS , it always has been and always will be.

But mans traditions have made void many of his sayings,   

war, self defense, swearing , remarriage ,  storing up etc,  and the list just goes on.   SO , how many REALLY LOVE JESUS .

Cause if you DO , Cease from thine own wisdom and let HIS sayings BY HIS SPIRIT teach you and guide you all the days of your life.

Yes, me too. I do not like when people suggest I have to know someone and things like that.

I think a person should let God do His work.

Agreed.

One thing that is pretty common is that people worry too much about things. It took time and prayer for me to learn as well.

Do not worry about anything, just be content with what God has blessed you with for now.

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." - Matthew 6:33-34

 

If it is being hard for you I suggest you pray about it, God will answer you.

"and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:7

 

And I can tell you: It is true. Do not let yourself be anxious or saddened for anything, just live in Christ and praise God. Amen!
