"Society" and "church": putting people in "boxes". "The World Hates the Disciples"

"FOR YOUR DISCERNMENT!!!"

ALL:

VEEERY INTERESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday, I heard from a friend of mine whom I hadn't heard
from in years. He was the music / youth director at a Baptist
Church I used to attend. They chose me to be on the search
committee for this position (probably because I was in the choir)
and made me the head of it.

We were very good friends and I was his hunting / fishing guide
for the time he was in our town. He probably killed his biggest
buck and caught his biggest bass while I was "guiding" him. In
fact, during the phone call, we were reminiscing and talking about
the big deer he killed and he said, "I'm looking at him now!", (as
he gazed at the mounted head on the wall from where he was
speaking).

He was VERY excellent as a choir director and, especially, with
the youth and older people, but, it was during a time when the
church had NO minister and, when the minister did come, there
was a real "clash" of personalities in the small church and he moved
to North Carolina, went into insurance and and also found a church
to work in. Now he is full time is a choir director and he told me the
church has 1000 in Sunday school!!!

But, on the VERY SAME DAY, I received this:

Parable of the Boxes

Excuse me but this is a "PERFECT" description, I believe, of most
ALL churches!!!!!!!!! In other words, "church", is much like "society"
which also puts people inside "BOXES".

Even parents end up, many times, NOT having time for children
because of "society". They become an interference to the time
they should be spending in "MAKING VERY, VERY SURE THAT
THEY FIT INTO SOCIETY".

Your leader, "O", also agrees with this type of thinking!!!!

The Obama Files: Extreme on Abortion

A baby is "punishment". A person who "gets in the way" of the
"church", will, many times, be HATED in the end!! Just talk to
some who "try" to leave!!!!

...John 15 (NIV 1984)
...The World Hates the Disciples

...18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me
...first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you
...as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but
...I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the
...world hates you.

...26 “When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you
...from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the
...Father, he will testify about me. 27 And you also must
...testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.

I was a Churchgoer last year
Published on May 16, 2012 by warningthepeople

I was a churchgoer until about a year ago, and about the Lord Jesus came to me and He said; "Andy Preach the gospel free of charge. The people in the churches are not glorifying me", and I decided to follow Jesus at that point with all my heart. He did not just reveal Himself to me one time. You know people think that I'm crazy. They say; "It was probably a demon you heard." You know; "You might be schizophrenic, you might be demonic." They say anything they want. But guys, I have met the Living God. I have knelt before Him and He has proved himself to me over and over again. He gives me life. His own hand pulled me from organized religion and into His truth. He pulled me out of sin, he drossed me. If you think that a demon is able to pull somebody out of sin, HOW can Satan's kingdom be divided? Satan is not going to fight against himself. The Lord Jesus is the one who purifies people, and the Lord Jesus is the one that is calling people out of the Babylon churches. He's calling people out of dead religion, and these churches that are apostate, and He's calling them into LIFE. Jesus Himself holds the words of life and if you desire life, you need to go straight to Jesus. A lot of people can see the hypocrisy in church, they can see the demonic work that is there, but they stay in the church because they think; "Where else will I go?" You know where you go? You go directly to Jesus! Jesus is the ONLY one that holds life. No church organization holds life! NO pastor holds life. ONLY Jesus HIMSELF holds life. If you don't believe my words, go to JESUS! HE IS THE ONE WHO HOLDS ALL TRUTH! I don't hold all truth. I only point to my King. The Lord Jesus is the one that called me, and HE is calling EVERYONE that wants to follow Him. It's your choice if you will choose to follow with ALL your heart. Jesus paid it all on the cross with HIS blood. Now the decision is ours if we will follow the Lord Jesus with ALL our heart. May the grace of Jesus be with you.
