June 10th 2017 / THE DILAPIDATED CHRISTIAN CHURCH!

You do not have to be a clown to witness to a circus! The church had the idea that if they dressed like the world, talked like the world, acted like the world and ran a church service like a disco lounge with a live band they would convert the world to Jesus. What actually happened was the world converted the church. We were to be the salt of the earth and beckon on a hill, instead, we are just a bottle of mixed spices and you cannot even taste the salt in the bottle and instead of a beckon upon a hill we are nothing more than a three-way light bulb. Christians and the Christian church were to be in the world but not of the world but we are failing in a spectacular fashion. We are as exciting to the world as a soda pop with no fizz left in it and it is lukewarm! Now is the time we stop being ashamed of being set apart from the world and get back to being what Jesus asked us to be and do what Jesus asked us to do... share the gospel with others, dress with respect to God and ourselves, get back to chapels and altars instead of auditoriums for a fake rock concert and a glorified Bible Study/ talk show called a worship service and a preacher dressed more shabby than a hobo with his or her mouth full of buzz words like radical and awesome! Get back to weekly Holy Communion as they did in the beginning Christian church, Time for the Christians and the Christian church to grow a spine and if the world does not want to join then it will be their loss.

Matthew 5:13-16New King James Version (NKJV)

13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Prayer: O'Lord, let the church repent and come back to what it was meant to be, in Jesus name, amen.

POISONING THE FRUITS OF THE HOLY BIBLE

The Holy Bible has many beautiful truths within its pages and the most wonderful story in the world of how a loving and gracious God came from Heaven to Earth to save us from sin and ourselves. What I have seen that saddens my heart is when men and women distort the Bible's precious truths. Sometimes they play mental gymnastics with a rubicon of verses to put together their own view of a topic and make the Bible appear to support their side. Both the liberal and conservative Christians do it and even those who are not even believers play this game. People who want all answers to life and faith but only from the Bible are some of the most toxic and unhappy people I know. Where is their Christlike love? Jesus dealt with this kind of mindset in his mortal time on earth and they were called Pharisees. We must be willing to take the Bible as it is written and what the writers led by the Holy Spirit meant. We must be authentic and transparent. Some things in the Bible are uncomfortabl

WHAT VOICES ARE YOU LISTENING TO?

Since the internet entered our homes and social media dominates the culture of the world we as a human race have rapidly lost our humanity in many ways. People are so vicious to one another and it is so sad to see how narcissistic we have become as a species. I am often balancing what I read and what I listen to so I do not become toxic and filled with false understandings and beliefs. So it is very important to consider just what voices you are listening to and what voices are you reading. What is the mindset of the people, shows, and music you are allowing into your life? We need to be more alert to not allowing trash into our minds, ears, and eyes. Let us not become a landfill for society's useless trash. If you let garbage in soon it will be garbage out. What is most in your heart will eventually come out the mouth both spoken and written. Matthew 15:18-20

ELECTION YEAR 2024! OH BOY!

Yes, folks, it is an election year and of course, both parties believe they are going to save the world. Sorry, but Jesus Christ already did that some 2000 years ago. Now the other fun fact about this is every election year it is a Chicken Little story all over again, which is the sky is falling if the Republicans get into office, and the sky is falling if the Democrats get into office. This reminds me of how news on the weather is nowadays. There will be one inch of snow coming which is the great white death from above so stock up on everything. The exaggeration from political parties and the news is absolutely off the charts in this day and age. Gone are the Walter Cronkite and Tom Brokaw days of newscasting. Social media can be used for good and even to spread the gospel message but also it can perpetuate lies and deceit. I hope it is used more responsibly than what I have been witnessing. So back to politics and voting, I would say do your best to try and find reliable informati
