What may sound like proper etiquette to one person, may actually sound like offensive words to the receiver. Are they true? Are they trite? Do their actions match their words? Faith without works is dead. Be a doer of the word not just a preacher of the word. Word can be empty when they are not accompanied by action.
Many times Church acquaintances have said to me, “We missed you”. Yet, make no effort to have a relationship outside of the church building!
Let us not be like the believers that Think they are doing God’s work, but don’t really know the will of God. I don’t want the Lord to ever say to me, “Get away from me, I never knew you.”
Faith without works is dead.
Are we doing the will of God? Or, are we asking him to bless our agenda? Personally, I am not here to prop up any earthly ministries. If going to church becomes a roll call, or something I do by rote or obligation, I want no part of it.
I can assemble together with other believers without having to jump through the lifeless, religious traditions of men that are found in most Churches today.
Every person in my life who I have ever found true fellowship with was not affiliated with the church I attended.
This gives me much to think about.
