The Lord s Army listed Six Part 1

The Lord s Army listed Six Part 1 E 'agree that most of the banks in America who call themselves "Christians" do not really believe in "The Church"? Shocking thought, but I think it is some Christians true.Very give everyone a second thought, the fact that the word "church" (from the Greek word ekklesia, which means "calls for") is always based on something other than a building made of bricks and mortar, or that the word refers to their religion or their homes worship.So what the majority of Americans believe, if Christians do not believe in "The Church"? In short, most people think, only in "religion." Ok, so what is it? Webster's Dictionary defines, in part, as "a system of religious beliefs." System? How can the word "system" is something to do with the beautiful bride of Christ, a living, breathing businesses? This is not a cyborg, after all. No, not much seems to Hoop-jumping for me, a list of Do and Dont's for the management of these huge "religion" we "Christianity." The only good is a dead end CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN problem is that Christianity is not a religion, this is a new lifestyle based on the relationship between the creators and those who created it. Unfortunately, most who claim to prefer the Christian religion to a new life. For two reasons: we have so comfortable, with the worst of our behavior, habits and addictions that we can not fathom life without it, secondly, to live a new life, we must die. Funny, the only thing God and Satan have in common is that they are both trying to kill us. In other words, the only good Christian is a Christian dead, dead to sin and alive to God through Jesus Christ (Rom. 6:10-11). As regards religion, we must not forget that there are three types of apprenticeship, according to the Scriptures, the doctrine of the devil, the man of doctrine and teachings of Christ and of God. " Thinking Christians should ask why the group or who teaches this, why this or that tradition is so much attention and how this or that doctrine really came from. The only thing more powerful than the word of God which is the tradition of the people. Jesus said that our traditions make the Word of God without effect (Mt 15:6). Some traditions powerful, eh? Webster's What to say? The traces of the word "religion" back to the Latin word religio meaning? To bind, constrain, restrict. The word is a combination of two words, RE (re) and ligare from which our word is binding? To bind. In other words, a retu to slavery. Perhaps no word describes in more detail the man-centered, performance-based wage penalty, men have to ea God? S and promote the acceptance of this word? Religion. Hmmm. Jesus said he came to us for free. Interesting. The correspondence also stated that "If the Spirit of the Lord there is freedom." It seems that "religion" can not coexist with a relationship with Christ. No wonder that Jesus was always BUTTING mind with the most religious of his day.PASS BLUE Ribbon! Overall, the religious nature of humanity in fact prefer a circle jump rating system, which determines the position and progress of our part of that system. Ouselves we evaluate ourselves. They forget that, according to Isaiah, "... we are all as unclean, and all our righteousness is like dirty rags "(Is 64:6). God is not impressed by our good deeds. In fact, Scripture says that "there is no right, not even one" (Rom 3:10), which is not contrary to everything that we leaed during our secular life? We are not, like children, gold stars and be encouraged to win blue ribbons? As adults, we are committed to the recognition and promotion. We love our ads and plaques and trophies to fill our scrapbooks with newspaper clippings. As always we are to understand that if God is, our best is never good enough? Face, when all have sinned and not the glory of God, then everyone, including the "sacred" and "pious" beautiful "person who ever the earth was a savior. Not a soul was ever exempt.Not also one.The Good news? God the Savior - Jesus "For God, who so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eteal life" (Jn 3:16). Who? TU-soever! THE CHRISTIANS 24/7If we all be honest with ourselves, most people that warming benches in the nation would have to admit that "the church" - the ekklesia - only rarely in their heads. What the masses think - whether acknowledged or not - is a body of Christ is false, that at best. They probably agree more on the fact that events of this type (especially in the midst of their name) is certainly the best in the Christian world is offer.What Most do not realize that "the Church" is little more than a of our nation, many subcultures. The truth is that it is much more than that, there are also a counter-culture, which requires only subculture status.We carry the Ark of the New Testament, with us a new direction for the world. We believe that a revolutionary power, whose source, Jesus himself was a radical revolutionary. With his power, we have the power in the world to help, recognizes its reason for existence. Most Christians do not see themselves as special people in God, a trivial task for the world Jesus came to liberate. The mentality of most is that we have a spiritual life, on the one hand, and a life on the other side. Unfortunately, we do a good job to keep separated.Too good.THE CHURCH IN TIME NEEDDid Jona step up to the plate and to Ninevah to wa of impending disaster? Yes I'm inviting you to Mecedonian Paul? Sure Thing. Why is it that the Church in America is not ready now, in times of tragedy, as if to say, Hurricane Katrina? We can blame the president, the goveor, the mayor, the National Guard and FEMA everything we want. But we, the church must not miss this opportunity to gather the souls who not only converts but younger than Jesus commanded.We must peel back the onion and get to the heart of these issues. If we, the church does not lea from history are condemned to repeat it, yes? Our nation is as strong as the church, after all. Overall, the church is not very strong. Let's face it, we too often project "... a form of piety, but the refusal of the benefit itself ...," (1 Timothy 3:5). We need to change the world, but we are content to play as a church and not the church, because they are not the goal of the church. Note: There is much more than simply "not good", or too often, are very "professional" to be spiritual. Knowing when to say "Amen!" Or sit, stand, kneel and recite memorized Views CHURCHIANITY more than Christianity and has little impact on everyone, but the Christian religious adherent.Statistics show, as some Christians believe in the teaching of Scripture even among the clergy. We can not expect more from "Churchianity", as currently observed. Do not get me wrong, if Katrina is conceed, I am proud of the disaster relief efforts to go online in the United States. My wife and I have us on the field. Not only the Christians who have lent a hand to the rescue. I heard that Fidel Castro has offered to help. The latest catastrophe is the impetus for a major boost when the church, the people in them and the students, according to the Scriptures, and not a step sideways and allows the govement to deal with them, but only as a lounge and As such, it has them.Fidel offered to do so much.ABOUT THE AUTHOR Michele Shepherd is the founder of team ministries (team1min@aol.com).
