With all the tragedies going on in this country and world-wide, it seems peculiar that we are confused and lamenting over what we can do or what the cause would be. This so-called institutionalized ‘church’ claims they have the answer, and maybe they do have it hidden under their logs of doctrine and tradition, but the message of the Gospel, the true message, has been obscured beneath their worship of the flesh. These powerless sermons and the outward rites and rituals of their so called services and outreach have been all but ineffective.
If we continue to keep our head in the sand, and continue to carry on with these antics of self-righteousness, then the world will continue to starve to death for the TRUTH and Power that reins in our Christ. It has too. When the flesh of our social clubs called ‘church’ take precedence over the Truth and Love of God for us, and our inability to stop following the traditions of the same-o same-o of the generations of the forefathers, which was of little effect during those by-gone years, then what kind of real change should we expect? If it was to be the answers, one would think that there would be a sign of it by now. If the power of the man-made ‘church’, and their willingness to carry on with the same fruitless antics, and treating their assemblies as a business to make money, then the spiraling downfall of that institution has to fall. It may be a fun place to socialize, but the folks are going home hungry for the unfed Truth each week.
These factories called ‘church’ aren’t going to change, and as of now, there are but a few of Gods’ remnant left to make much of an impact, but the Power of Christ truly does make an impact to those that heed His message. People are falling apart by the seams that man has stitched each generation together with; each generation is that much, again, removed by the growing immaturity of living for self, living with little regard or love for anything but themselves or the click they assemble with.
To me, it seems, that those that are raised in a third world country are far superior when it comes to respecting their family and neighbors, being responsible, and taking care of matters with dependably without laziness. These high tech gadgets with their mindless and endless amount of games are forming the intellect of many of those that will one day govern in our stead. The descending spiral of morals and work ethics are speeding towards a destruction that none of us want to live with.
The answer is out there, or should I say within each of us, but it’s going to take a little peace and quiet to find the true Christ of God that lays waiting for those that seek Him in His Way, His Truth, and His Life.
God, will you help us, even those of us that don’t know we need your help?
