Do you Remember?

Do you REMEMBER:

  • ·        When church was simple, not complicated by worldly legalities
  • ·        When the Bible was black and white, not gray
  • ·        When missions was from love and not expected
  • ·        When church was about Jesus, not church politics
  • ·        When church was humbled by the presence of God, not fighting for internal power
  • ·        When the church was a sanctuary for all people, not an elite country club
  • ·        When the church influenced the world and didn’t succumb to worldly influences
  • ·        When the church fed the hungry first, putting their own needs aside
  • ·        When the church was charity, not a banking institution
  • ·        When sinners were accepted, and not judged by sinners of church
  • ·        When the church did good deeds, without expecting something in return
  • ·        When numbers didn’t matter, only the salvation of the lost
  • ·        When The Holy Spirit led the Christian, not money or possessions
  • ·        When it felt good to go to Church without all the selfish drama
  • ·      When the church stood strong on the Word, and not lower standards
  •      When the Church truly cared, not pretended
  • ·        When the Church called out of concern, not for money
  • ·        When God was worshipped, not the Pastor
  • ·        When all churches had the same mission, not different standards
  • ·        When children were blessings, not liabilities
  • ·       When Jesus was our Savior, not our works
  • ·        When church was simple, I want that again, is it too late?
My Prayer is that all churches
will remember how to KEEP IT SIMPLE
 and not complicate the road to Salvation
