The Adversary

Something that I have been thinking about lately is really just sticking in my brain for some reason and it wont go away. Maybe if I blog about it that will help leave. Anyway this thought is, I feel the church is its own biggest enemy. Now this really is not a educated thought. Its simply just thought to be mulled over. How many different denominations of churches are there? Too many to start to be counted. Now this in my head is ridiculous. Why are there so many different churches that all serve the same God? Yea I know different doctrines and all that jazz. But doctrine doesn't get you into heaven, the fact that Jesus died for us and took our sin upon himself gets us into heaven. So if we have common epicenter then what should we care about denomination? All looking at denomination does is cause separation and disunity. And how effective can we be as Christians if we cannot even agree with other Christians? Its ridiculous. Well you speak in tongues and we just don't believe in that therefore you are less effective as a Christians. Hello judgment. Then lets think about the inside of a church. How instead of enjoying God in his house we are too busy whining about how bad the sound was or how bright the lights were. The pastor is too edgy and I just cant believe how he uses the Message version of the Bible everyone knows if it's not New King James then it's just not right. Ha wow ok well we were here to worship the one who made us but instead we just want to tear people and the church apart with our mouths. Next comes gossip. Yessir the poison of the church. And we churchgoers have gotten so clever at gossiping. Now we could simply gossip straight up but I have a better idea. Lets throw out a very loud and detailed prayer request for everyone to hear. Disguise your need to gossip under the shroud of prayer. Good work you have now turned something sacred on its head and bastardized it. At the same time bashing someone.

I guess my point to all this is Satan really has infiltrated the church and is using it against its holy purpose. So as Christians maybe we need to get it right in Gods house before we go out to witness to our neighbors or town, let alone the world

    Christian - "exhibiting a spirit proper to a follower of Jesus Christ; Christlike."
    I guess we forget that sometimes huh?
    It starts with us huh?
