Where are the True people of God? First off, I am not judging anyone because God told us not to judge but based on some of our actions, it seems as though from what I have read in the Bible of how a Christian should act, some of us need our church membership cards shredded! Really people of God, The Bible tells us the #1 thing to do that the world will know that we are his disciples and that is to LOVE.. Where is the love in the church? I know good and well not to look for it in the world because they show us daily on the news that they don't love one another with the killings that happen. But I have been dogged, hurt, talked about bad and misused all in the church, or should I say House of God. If we can't love and love somewhat like Jesus did and does, how can we have the audacity to call ourselves children of God. All children have characteristics of their parents somewhere. People say I talk like my dad, and do things like my dad, why, because we have a physical relationship, I come from his seed. We are a part of Jesus, and he is our head and our daddy. He loves us so much that he took on the burden of sin that we couldn't pay ourselves and paid the ransom to set us free. Now I know we can't exactly love as well as Jesus did because he was and is perfect and God, but at least in the church some of the backbiting and gossiping and horrific acts that we do should NOT be happening. Some of us don't welcome visitors cordially or act like we are excited for them to be worshipping with us. If they don't have on what we have on or look like we think they should look, we pay then little mind not knowing if this is an angel unaware!! Be careful people of God how we tend to look down on someone, we could be writing off our blessings. All I am saying is if you know that God is Love and you are one of his, Show it as often as you can to let the world know whose side you are on. How do you feel your church or churches in general where you are rate on the God's LOVE METTER and why? feel free to respond and May God richly bless you. R.J.

This is another symptom of why the church does not have any true power.Power (spiritual) comes from the Holy Ghost. Love come from the willingness to accept and practice the changes made in one's life via the working of that same Spirit. As to the the fruit of the Spirit - same thing. We may know, understand and do all things spiritual, but without love ......

So, what hinders us from fulfilling 1Cor 13, an even more excellent way the working in all of those wonderful Spirit provided giftings? I suggest, unbelief. Unbelief stems from not really knowing Jesus and trusting Him (faith, reliance, confidence) to keep His word in all things. This failing also suggests that the 'believer' does not really fear God and His judgments. That is, we have no true desire to actually please God, but rather to use God as a resource in support of our personal (spiritual and physical) agendas. Too many people do not desire to serve God, but to be served by Him.

Can we do this? Yes, see Matthew 7:21-27. Just like the physical laws that govern all of creation, spiritual laws can be used by anyone for any purpose. Even so, the only legitimate authority to exercise spiritual power within the kingdom of God comes only (is delegated) from the Father through Jesus Christ to the accepted disciple . Also see John 10:1-18.
Bro Bowman, I agree with you whole, many people don't fear God or his judgements, I believe that is why so much "Mess" goes on in the church and not only the church, but in the life of the believer. I really like when you said "Too many people do not desire to serve God, but to be served by Him".. So profound and true. Thanks for your input, appreciate it. May God bless you and Heaven smile on you. R.J.
