Why The Church Has Declined…

October 3, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

Our denominations are in decline for several reasons and one of the main reasons is because of the rules that has been placed by man that is limiting the doctrine in the Word of God. Another main reason for the decline is because many of the elders have forgotten how to uplift the next generation by recognizing the talents that God has given to each of them for wanting to hold on to their own position in front of the people.

Many have fallen as the Pharisees in following their own doctrine while forgetting that every humbled sinner is welcome in the Kingdom of God through the love of Jesus Christ. We don’t have to have doctrine degrees or attend certain schools to speak the Word of God or to perform the natural gifts that the Lord provides. The Lord is our teacher and He is the one that chooses our leaders and He is the one gives us our gifts to properly serve the people. So many times in life we hang on to something because we don’t know how to let it go and uplift the next generation in helping them to develop their talets as they mature in life.

Over time we have come to a point in thinking that we have to be a member of some group or attend a certain school to share the Word of God and I am here to tell you no one or no school can compare to being taught by the Father in Heaven above! We all receive natural gifts and these talents are given by God. Have you ever seen the difference between the artist that was born with a talent verses the one that went to school to learn their talent? There is a distinct difference in someone working within their gift and one that is not.

So many people choose a field to work within because they are guided by someone else besides the Lord. Sometimes we carry on something because it is our family tradition while there are even those that just choose a field to work within because they don’t know where else to turn. There is a previous post written on the old church to the new contemporary worship service that explains where we are today within the church and if we do not Wake Up and start looking for those children that have received natural gifts from God then our picture in life is going to continue to fade away. We must learn to work together and not work against one another…

There is life within the picture of Jesus Christ that will radiate to others when we drop our walls and learn to look to God instead of man….

Obesity In The American Church

August 2, 2009 by admin 3 Comments

Over the past several years the Christian body has been growing in large numbers in other countries while many of the American churches struggle to stay alive. The reason for this growth in foreign nations is the hunger for the truth which has been kept from them by their government or others who simply wanted to use the people to serve their own selfish desires. This suppression is exactly why The United States of America was formed in 1776 because we as Christians no longer wanted to be told how to worship and we believed in all being equal under God through the freedom of Jesus Christ. This suppression that our ancestors once lived under created such a hunger and drive that they were willing to risk their lives for our freedom today.

But now over the years many Christians and Americans have become fat and even complacent to the point that they don’t even appreciate what they have been given. This country is a beautiful country that was a gift from God and now over time by not holding true to our diet in the will of God we have become overweight and even lazy in feeling that we can’t do something when we can!!! Since when are we to give up? There is always hope as long as we have breath and the Lord is saying,”Return to me and I will bring you home…“

America has eaten so much steak that we have forgotten how to appreciate the bologna and in turn there are many that don’t even appreciate the steak anymore because they have eaten so much that they are feeding off of self in such a way that it is misguiding the children…

The Old Church to The New Church…

July 18, 2009 by admin 2 Comments

Where did the church as a whole go wrong, many denominations are asking?

Why are many denomination’s like the Baptist, the Methodist, the Presbyterians, the Catholics and many others struggling in growth while the new church is growing in leaps and bounds?

Where is the voice that the church once carried in our homes, in our schools, in our work place and even in our nation?

Well, I can tell you many of these answers because the Lord has given me the spiritual understanding and the wisdom to share this in another light that will open the eyes and ears to help us move forward from where we are today. In one instance of many, the old church set too many man made rules in place which has restricted the Spirit of God while becoming complacent in their ways to not see the future. Over the years of the old hellfire and brimstone teaching, many failed to teach the difference in loving the sinner but how to hate the sin. This caused many church going children to rebel once they were out from under their parents who forced the church upon them. While on another note many who wanted to attend the church were discouraged for how the church portrayed themselves above the sinner for they failed to understand the meaning of Jesus saying, “ I have come to not call those who think they are righteous but those that know they are sinners.”

Over the years one of the hardest parts in leadership is learning how to pass on the candle to the next ones in line that the Lord has placed before them to uplift the next generation. Because of these fears and selfish desires many in leadership have held on to their positions for too long in losing the interest of the youth while not recognizing how God is working in the next generation. There are two parts of scripture which back this up from the old church in not knowing how to move forward and one is with Moses only going so far and then Joshua carrying out the mission. While the other part is in the lesson of Eli and Samuel which teaches us to keep our eyes and ears open to the Word of God speaking through the youth at heart while trying to touch the old but the child within. It is very easy in life as we grow old to miss where God is speaking if we don’t keep ourselves in tune.

On the other hand the new church has gone completely opposite in a form of rebellion towards the old church. By allowing more freedom in the church which is causing many to get caught up in the emotions instead of understanding the purpose of order and discipline which teaches us how to stand on our own with the Lord in front. The new church by majority is not speaking out against sin as it should while forgetting the importance of the foundation in the word of God. This has opened the door to Satan in many ways in causing confusion in the emotions of the spirit for not knowing how to discern between the two. There are two parts that are vital to understand in the house of God and one is recognition of the spirit and the other is the peace in knowing there is no confusion because of the order in the church. This time period of the new church is also backed up in the Word of God in the life of Nebuchadnezzar who once new God but forgot Him over time as he fell to himself in drifting away from what he once knew.

There are no divisions in the house of God and every single person has a purpose in the kingdom. These past divisions have restricted the power of God in our lives, in our church and even in our nation because we have forgotten the overall eternal goal. By all of this taking place we have lost our vision and direction in the wilderness but it is time for us to cross to the other side! It is never too late as long as we have breath and all things are possible with God!

Always remember there is complete order, discipline and respect in the Word of God in the freedom which we have been given and we are to learn how to move when He opens the doors without trying to open them ourselves! If the old church and the new church do not come together in the common denominator of Jesus Christ then the overall church body is going to continue to struggle while this world only continues to grow darker because we have forgotten how to live in the freedom which the Lord has given. It is my heartfelt prayer that the church Wakes Up To This Truth For Our Children’s Future!!!

How Far Has American Churches Drifted?

April 5, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

There is a very interesting study in 2Samuel: 10-11 on our human character in loyalty and compassion. When we study this message and apply it to our society here in America & to our Churches how many people today do we see living with such amenities while the one’s who are doing the work are doing without?

How many people would show the same character as Uriah in filling guilty if he were to live with such comfort while those that served him did without while serving their country?

Then the sad part of this message is how King David had everything but it wasn’t enough. So he even took more in not only the wife of Uriah but his life in order to serve his selfish desires.

This is a sad story in history but it teaches us valuable lessons in our human character in how we are to be loyal, show compassion, and not serve our selfish desires in wanting to take something that is not ours for our own personal gain. How far has our American society fallen to this sinful nature? How many churches are sitting with large bank accounts while others in their congregation are doing without?

Is this how we are to act in storing our temporary treasures and basing our security in how much we have in material things verses what have in the faith of God? Where we place our faith is vital to our Christian belief and if we do not help others in giving up something of ourselves for the sake of others then we need to recheck our faith…Amen

Alot of Talk But Little Action

April 4, 2009 by admin 1 Comment

There is a major problem in our society today of sitting around and talking about our issue’s instead of going to work and correcting the problem. The word of God plainly tells us that we can’t fix our problems unless we get to the root of the issue and this is where many have fallen lazy in not doing what it takes to really solve our problems. When we are truly honest within ourselves we know the truth inside but the fact is; Will we accept it, pursue it, and really do the work it takes to maintain it?

This is a major problem in our society today by sitting around and talking about the issue instead of going to work and correcting the problem. It is easy to sit around and talk about our issue’s but what use is this? America needs to Wake Up and go to work in making decisions that move us forward! It seems as if a large majority want to sit around and show their intellect while trying to justify their position in how they can analyze a situation. This is affecting our homes , our work, our churches and even our country.

We need to quit this non sense and get back to work in placing our jobs back in our country where they belong while looking at the positives instead of all the negatives that surround us! The longer we sit around and talk about something when we are not even the ones who can directly fix the problem then what point is this? If we can do something then it is our duty as a Christian and as an American to do our part for our children’s future!

If you can do something to make a difference then do it and if not then find where you can make a difference and work like never before because this is what this country needs! It is time to refocus our country back on God and time to stop all the useless negative talk with little action. To overcome an issue in life this requires some sort of personal sacrifice and it is time that we all face the facts in how we need to come together, put aside our difference’s and give up something for our children of today and tomorrow…
