Christians are not of the world but are in the world; and are to go throughout it proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus so that many on this world may be found mature in the Lord. Does the world need to hear of yet more laments, or of praises to God? Perhaps even Christians lament a little too much and praise far too little?

That problem is that some of us are really trying to live up to what Jesus said while the rest of us are not. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were preached and taught we would not need to have long lists made by people and GOD would get the respect and honour HE deserves !!! And no need for the sermon on the mount? Jesus is God.

That problem is that some of us are really trying to live up to what Jesus said while the rest of us are not. Hi, seems a good thought. Did not our Lord identify, and declare it, much as you have stated too? And what did He state should be done about it? "...Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord... to send out laborers Perhaps there is difference between praying earnestly for God to move to send out workers and making top ten lists of Christian body's faults? Just pray earnestly to God, for God to send out His workers. Maybe find self to be called to work, who knows See a problem, mention it to God, He tends to say ah ha I think I will send you. Now go, go to the plentiful harvest today, and be prepared to work in the field. The Harvest Is Plentiful, the Laborers Few And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was disturbed about the church. I saw a lot of things you guys a talking about. these problems have been with church for a long time. We live inn a free world capitalist society that offers the best of everything. An old Holy Wood song comes to mind. it went like this " we are in the money , were in the money. We've Got a of what it takes to get along" Success was and still is a driving force. I saw a lot of worldliness in the churches. Many seek after truth and I was one of them. So I prayed the same question " what is wrong with the church. The lord spoke into my mind. The said the problem is" ignorance, apathy, and unbelief". These three things will destroy the church. In Hosea 4:6 this is what God said My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge, because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee that thou shalt be no priest to me, seeing thou hast forgotten the Laws of God I will also forget thy children This is the most grave problem with the Church today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
