Church

[irishcowboy]

I normally do not plug movies, we recently have purchased the movie Time Changer....

this is an excellent movie in just 100 years, there have been so many changes from 5% divorce rate to 50% percent, from no one cursing to cursing everywhere and no one even saying anything about it.

the youth disrespecting their elders, even cussing them out, children having babies out of wed lock, adults condoning these actions. ( if you do nothing to stop it, you are condoning it)

from celebracy to promoscuity being the norm...

we have abominated God with our life styles, New Orleans and the sin filled city being destroyed, Mass and its librial ideas and sinful desires being destroyed, florida and the destruction that has and is taking place there, middle america being devistated....Indonesia, the middle east, what is it going to take?

we need to stop hitting the snooze alarm and rise out of our slumber.

when will we wake up and realize that we do not have much time.

we have lost our fear for God, we have ignored His calling, we have forsaken our first love, we have become luke warm, and for this God will spew us our of His mouth, for we are no longer HOT....

we have become, as some say, THE FROZEN CHOSEN...... this makes us luke warm....

us pew warmers will have to answer to Christ for our un-worthyness, for our inactivity.

too many people just playing church, is it not time to stop playing? and become the church?

satan does not care if you go to the church building, for he is also there sitting right next to all those that are there, and if you listen real close you can hear him speaking ( actually, you do not have to listen too close for he is pretty loud) do you hear him talking to you? telling you that you can sing better then that person doing the special, telling you to look at that young lady in that skimpy dress? or that young man with his shirt open and the waist band of his trousers hanging around his knees? how about at the alters, do you hear him telling you that you dont need to go up there cause every one will think you are unsaved.

satan does not care if we do good deeds everyday, he does not care if we do everything rexactly right, just so long as we do not call upon the name of JESUS.... he does not care if we say we believe that Jesus is the Son of God, just so long as we do not call upon Him or use His Name when we are talking with others... you can pray all you want to anyone other then God using the name of Jesus.....

you can even pray to Mary, cause satan does not care, for Mary has no power over Jesus, being Jesus is the KING of KINGs, LORD of LORDs.... Jesus carries the power, given to Him by His Holy Father.... non other is as powerful... we can pray to 12 dead men, and that is exactly what our prayers will be.....DEAD.

we can talk about God all day long, but do not bring in Jesus.... satan does not like that......

we can do anything and everything we want to do, so long as it does not include Christ. we can even cast our demons, but if we do not have Christ as our KING, our Savior, our LORD, we have nothing.

we can even teach people to do right things to say the right things to act the right way, but without a personal relationship with Christ, it means nothing. we can even go to our local country club ( the AoG country club, the Baptist country club, the Methodist, so forth and so on) everytime the doors are open and wear the right cloths, and say the right things, that means nothing if our hearts are not with Christ.

we must.... MUST, humble ourselves, repent of our ways and turn towards Gods ways, and LIVE FOR CHRIST, LIVE THE LIFE HE GAVE US.

many many many people say they are Christian, but when all is said and done, how many of them know Christ? many many people know of Christ. this is a simple concept, I know of Catsmeow, but I do not know Catsmeow, I know of Ronald, but I do not know Ronald, I may even know who he is and what he is all about, but I do not know him personally. just like everyone else here, some i know of more then others, but I do not know any of you, and none of you all know me. knowing of Christ, believing that Christ is the Son of God is different then KNOWING CHRIST. I know my wife, i have a relationship with my wife, i spend as much time with her as i can. I know my children, again, i have a relationship with my children and i spend time with my children. our relationship with Christ should be the same.

most people go to "church" ( which is un-biblical, going to church that is, we are suppose to be the church, being in fellowship with others is biblical) because that is where they preceive God to be. and when we get there, we are pleading with God to visit us there.... what is wrong with God living there, and living in our homes, not just visiting......... I want God to live in my life always, not just when I go to an empty shell of a building that will one day fall to dust for a brief visit. I want to dwell at the feet of my Lord.
