Title: When Is The Church Going To Get Out Of The WORLD? Post by: Revolutionist on December 30, 2006, 04:02:22 PM The church needs to let go of the world so that God can come back to the church again. The people that are attending only come to give God only one hour of there time so that GOD can bless them. That is not the way our Father operated. First we have to die to our self centered ways of living.
Matthew 16:24 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. Matthew 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. Matthew 16:26 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? Does the people want to pa y the price that God is asking them to do, if Jesus did it so can we do the same. Man doesn't want to separate Himself from the world. James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. We as Christians still have our man made programs, church building programs, etc. That is not separating ourself from the world, just being chained and bound to it. Jesus Christ is commanding us here in the scriptures to not be apart of this world, if we have not done the separation form the world we are still a friend of the world. God can't be our friend if we still have the self centered life style. The people that makes the church has to get God back into their life's again and set the world out. To do that we have to give ourselves to prayer again not just coming to God an ask Him to bless our self centered ideas and stuff. He is not a gimme God, just give me everything I want. It is not about you it is all about Him. God is the GOD of ALL. From: The Revolutionist His Bondservant Forever In Christ Jesus \0/ ;D Title: Re: When Is The Church Going To Get Out Of The WORLD?
