Modern day religion makes the eternal God a pathetic failure.. They are full of religious commotion: family night, youth rallies, religious plays, ball teams, bake sales, hand waving, hip swaying praise nights, religious dialog, religious debates, defending creeds, and ceremonies galore. But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.

Preachers everywhere tell us God is trying to save multitudes who are not saved. They tell us God wants to do many things for us and with us that we will not let him do. We are told Christ died for all the people of the world in an attempt to redeem and save all men, but that all are not saved.
They tell us that the Holy spirit of God calls all men alike to Christ; but some men resist the power of his grace, while others allow him to have his way. We are told that God has done all he can to save sinners , but some will not allow him to save them.
Such a god, such a pathetic miserable failure is to be pitied, but never worshipped or thought of as God. The true God performs his own mighty deeds and commands his worshippers to be still.

Their rock is not our rock. Turn to the Lord Jesus Christ and let him alone be your rock. The Lord God, the true God, makes his worshippers by a new creation of grace.

Stop putting God in a box and you will see him everywhere and in everything. I'm not saying God is everything, but his Spirit is everywhere, in stillness yes, also in all kinds of praise and among all believers in all their activities.

good church [woman]Christ started-rev 12
1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun,
and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:


bad church [woman] anti-christ seen today-rev 17
1And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials,
and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee
the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many [waters]mulltitudes on earth:

God IS everywhere and in everything and we should give him all the praise due his name. With some things he is not pleased much as he was with the exodus from Egypt of his people. All did not get to enter in to the promised land, because they sinned and this is an example for us to consider. God cannot be put in a box..................PS Praise him in spirit and in truth

God tells us to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Finding fellowship with the family of Christ is important. It should not be the sole purpose of church for there need discipleship and bible study but neither should it be looked down upon or counted as sinful to rejoice and share a meal with fellow believers. For did not Jesus often eat with His followers? Family does things like that.

Plus our bodies are to be holy temples unto God. Some picture God on a throne and fall down in awe, but I knew God as Abba, Father because His Holy spirit lives in my heart.

We can not judge who belongs to God and it does not matter in how we treat others. We should treat both believers and nonbelievers with love as our father in heaven allows the rain and Sun to tell and shine on both.

If someone comes into our fellowship and does not believe in Jesus Christ are we to accommodate or change our beliefs to make them comfortable so they will come and give money and do other things. NO We are to tell them they need a savior and who he is and if they don't believe, that's there business but go elsewhere to worship your god. Our God is Jesus Christ and him crucified. God is a jealous God and we should worship with those we believe belong to him.
"For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were ordained of old to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and DENYING the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ" from Jude.

Interesting these men were ORDAINED of old to do this. These are spots in our feast of charity and Love as we worship our God together with the breathren

It is not love to lie to people and make them comfortable in their sin or unbelief. If they do not accept Jesus as Lord and savior the we tell them the Gospel, but sometimes believers need reminders too.

Yes there are corrupt church's and preachers who sell Jesus image but do not have His heart, but I avoid those places.


However we should not hold fast to all traditions or customs. For example, if it is custom for people to stand but one who is ill needs to sit, then we can change and help them out of love.
