My sisters and my brothers I would like to do a meditation with you today plus (more) once about the Church of Christ. However when we use the term Church of Christ we will be thinking in the Methodist Church in Lins also where we attend as members. are Like this well? Ok. Let's go ahead.
We have all kinds of behaviors in the Church. We
have those who work for the Kingdom of God, but we also have the supposedly
working for the Kingdom of God, but they work for themselves. A very common
example of who works for himself. Are people who fight fear all things out
according to what they think and want. When it doesn't happen they get nervous,
they talk about everything and everyone inside the Church. Criticize everything
and everyone. Nothing is good. They always have something to hold and then make
their comments. Loved this is so serious that sometimes we're rooting for
something to go wrong in the church so that we can justify our nasty reviews.
I've preached here and again I draw attention. Dear and
beloved, every time that we tried to overthrow the Church we shoot the guns
against our own feet. Why? Because the Church is one body with many members,
and we are members of that body as soon as we are members of one another and
all are connected to each other as part of one body. So when I criticize my
church I am criticizing myself although I don't always admit it. When a person
speaks ill of his Church talk bad about herself. When we tried to overthrow the
Church we're trying to knock down ourselves and Devil in induces to think that
we are out, but we're not. This is the same as smile of someone who is falling.
But it's part of us and it only takes a few seconds and let's be serious here
and die also because evil that hit that Member will arrive to us since we are
parts of the same body and are interconnected.
For many years I have seen this in our churches.
Well before I was pastor. But I have always done the same questioning. Oh my
god! What are we doing with our Church?! As said above, until we were happy
when things go wrong. We forget that we too are going down and that means
taking Jesus focus and focus on errors, the failures of others as if we hadn't
errors or flaws also equal to or worse than the errors and failures of those
who are criticizing. We see in many situations our churches are empty. When
this occurs soon found that the fault is the pastor and started against him
pastor arrows grant. But often the
pastor's questioning because he doesn't know that the people of God who are
herding hurting yourself. My sisters and my brothers as people in many cases
are barely within the Church. How to hate each other! How to speak ill of each
other! How can live as brothers in Christ love each other! People that is
totally blurred vision about what it means to the Church of Jesus. As we want
people to stay here with the treatment that we give to them? They come out and
it's not because of pastor "a" or "B" pastor. They leave
because they are treated poorly by their own church members and the satanic thing
and contagious. Leaves a much, out of another, more other ... And so will
destroy the Church and the people disappear. And we who started the mess we
were smiling as if we hadn't made a suicide killing the Church with our
behavior.
But we have a promise to Jesus that says: the gates
of hell, (of death) shall not prevail against it (Church). Hallelujah! There
are many attacks against the Church of Jesus. But against this church no one
and nothing can anything.
So I appeal to your heart. We are a Church with the
concept of body of Christ clear in our minds. Speak well of our Church. Speak
to our Church. Let's talk about what God is doing in our midst. Let us pray for
our Church. Let us pray for our sisters and our brothers. We pray for the
families that make up the Church. Let us pray for pastors. Get them the finger
at the ready (appointed) and the desire to leave always think other would be
better. "But the improvement will not come with this and Yes with the
total change of our behavior in the Church of God and above all when relying on
us to have peace with all people" Let us bless our Church, our brothers
and sisters and our pastor in Jesus name.
