#Church,#Witness,#Salvation,#Heaven.#Conversion,#Change,#Difference

Everyday you hear of someone professing Christ, but not living the life or believing in living the way the Bible says.  Everyday you hear of some Hollywood person or worldly entertainer being a Christian.  But, Christian means Christ like.  The Bible says the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch ( Acts 11:26).  A disciple is one that follows someones teachings.  The disciples in the Bible followed the teachings of Christ.  The teachings of Christ are found in the four Gospels.  The works of Christ (Holy Ghost) and His instruction to His followers  are found in the books  Acts through Revelation.

 Everyone has a soul.  The soul is not going back to the dust.  Helping the soul of a man find out how to enter  into eternal rest in Heave  is the purpose of the Church.  Keeping the soul from spending its eternal resting place in hell is the purpose of the Church too.  For Jesus came to seek and save the lost.    In order for a soul to spend eternity in rest, requires salvation.  In order to be 'saved' you have to go to Church and hear the Word preached.  The Bibles says it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believer (I Corinthians 1:21).  Then after salvation, you have to maintain it.  In order to maintain your salvation you have to go to Church.  For again, the Lord commanded "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching"  (Hebrews 10:25).

Multitudes go to buildings that profess to be the Church, but Jesus is not mentioned.  Holiness is not mentioned.  Being baptized in Jesus Name is not mentioned.  Sin is not preached against.  Hell is never  mentioned.  In these buildings everything is o.k.  There are no standards of Holiness.  The Holy Ghost is not present.  For some reason today, if noise is made, music is loud these things are identified as the 'Spirit being present'.  Prayer no longer precedes the service.  Altar calls do not take place.  Repentance is unheard of in these buildings.  It seems as long as everyone has a good time, shouts, sings the Holy  Ghost  'showed up and showed out'.  Not so.  This is not the Church that Jesus purchased with His blood.

Think about it.  Seek the truth and get saved like the  Bible says.

#Call Jesus,#Cry out,#Jesus, Deliverer

If you call Jesus right, he will hear you and come see about you.  Ask blind Bartimaeus. The scriptures says in St. Mark 10:46-52 that Jesus, His disciples and a great number of people were leaving Jericho.  Blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.  Blind Bartimaeus could not see.  He did not know what Jesus looked like.  He only knew what he heard. Blind Bartimaeus began to cry out to Jesus, "Jesus, thou son of David have mercy on me".  When the people tried to stop him, he cried out the more so, "Thou son of David, have mercy on me".  He did no let people keep him from calling on the Lord.  He must have heard about the miracles, healing, deliverance that took place at the hand of the Lord. Jesus heard the cry of Blind Bartimaeus.  It was the sound of the cry that revealed to the Lord that Blind Bartimaeus was calling out in a blind state, but yet believing something would happen if he could get the attention of Jesus of Nazareth. .  He w

#A Lot of Singing,#Shouting,#Tongue Talking,#Playing

Music was one of the things that drew me to want to go to Church when I was not saved.   I use to love to hear and 'feel' the spirit of the songs.  Back then, the singers would sing unto the Lord.  They were not paid to sing.  They were not seeking recording contracts.  They would sing unto the Lord.  The would sing about the Lord.  So, when one went to hear the singers, your soul got touched whether you wanted it to or not. I can remember going to the Holiness Churches.  The praise was different too.  When the Saints praised God back then, it was real.  When the Saints did dance 'in the Spirit', it was real.  You could feel it.  There was always this 'presence' in the Holiness Church that I could not explain....then.  But that presence kind of held you captive, whether you wanted it o or not.  And, sometimes Church would go on for hours, but no one cared.  And, if one of the Saints said something to you that the Lord gave them for you, you knew it and felt it

#Bible,#Word of God,#Leave It Alone

"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."   Revelations 22:18-19 The scriptures are plain.  The Bible is not to be played with.  The words written in it are to be taught and preached unto the soul of men.  To add to the what the Lord has already said will bring plagues upon man kind.  To take away from what the word says, will cause a person's part in the holy city (Heaven) to be removed.  So, why would anyone try and change what the Bible says?  Cute sayings do not lead a soul to salvation.  It takes the Word preached and taught.  The Bible says specifically that the word is God ( John 1:1 ).   The Bible says specifical
