JESUS said:
Matthew 4:4
King James Version
4 But he answered and said, It is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of God.
What makes a worthwhile church?
Who's to lead one?
How must it be conducted?
How are members to be?
Have you found one such church?
Because this is a born again blog, naturally, we focus on born again churches.
But it seems, there's something missing in such churches today.
Spoken in his succinct manner, let the late Voddie Baucham tell us more about how these churches have become:
"The Real Reason Gods Elect Dont Fit In Church Anymore"
The world is in grave danger, as churches have been infiltrated.
But these we must remember:
GOD is The LIVING GOD.
He is the FOUNTAIN of LIVING WATERS.
His Son, JESUS, is the LIVING BREAD.
How, then, can churches focus on stage and not His SPIRIT?
The WORD of GOD alone is enough to revive one's spirit.
Psalm 119:97
King James Version
97 O how love I thy law!
it is my meditation all the day.
As JESUS said:
John 4:14
King James Version
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water
that I shall give him shall never thirst;
but the water that I shall give him shall be in him
a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
John 7:37-39
King James Version
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast,
Jesus stood and cried, saying,
If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me,
as the scripture hath said,
out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit,
which they that believe on him should receive:
for the Holy Ghost was not yet given;
because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Why would we need entertainment in church?
Why would we need a plethora of songs or skits?
We all need to get back to the "meat" of the matter.
The WORD of GOD suffices.
Speaking about sin is a must.
Reminding us to repent is essential.
Speaking about salvation is an absolute.
Those alone would fill that time in church.
Sadly, many ministers would rather entertain, and be trendy.
Many would rather retain membership than talk about GOD's judgment.
Rarely do they talk about the imminence of the Rapture.
These, at the cost of man's soul, or the man thirsting for GOD's WORD.
May the HOLY SPIRIT alight upon us all.
And keep us on the path.
Which JESUS has already set:
John 14:6
King James Version
6 Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:1-4
King James Version
14 Let not your heart be troubled:
ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Matthew 16:24-26
King James Version
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples,
If any man will come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it:
and whosoever will lose his life for my sake
shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited,
if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?
or what shall a man give
in exchange for his soul?
Mark 1:15
King James Version
15 And saying,
The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye,
and believe the gospel.
Realize that the born again church is the BODY of CHRIST.
It must be pure, holy, perfect, and precise.
Solely dedicated to CHRIST.
