Many are being led astray by false Prophets( or Profits...LOL), false doctrine and teaching. Many in the church are living in poverty, dying prematurely, divorcing at tremendous rates, commiting adultary without guilt, and the list goes on. People initially come to the church seeking solice, solutions, answers and hope for living.

It is sad that many sincere, God seeking people have been deceived and instead of growing in God and becoming all that they can be for the Kingdom, become angry, bitter and unfulfilled as they sit in the pews or the pulpit. Their praise is halfhearted, their faith in God has dwindled and their belief in people has greatly diminished.

The great deception in Christianity is this, I believe, and that is that the walk with God is going to be easy with minimal trials and testing. We therefore have become a church filled with entertainment rather than empowering and educating people with scriptural truth with confirmed revelation from God.

What are your thoughts?

he Body of Christ is SICK. Well who has the cure? And who wants to go to the Medic? The sickeness is our rotten heart, unchanged, not transformed and RULING over our lives. If we truly want to see some changes? Than we have to HEAR THE TRUTH. HOW GOD SEES IT! Than we have a change to get healed. It has no use to do as if the Body of Christ is not sick, as if she is not a whore, as if she is not going astray, as if well God will close an eye. He will not and the end is that you loose all, even your inheritance. Believe me once saved is not saved.

You and I are seeing out the same eye,,,,the reason the sinner Man wont come to Church is because the so-called Saints wont stay saved,,everything in them comes out of them once they leave the Building,,,,

This indeed what your saying is a true statement,it has been going on for a while,,Listen just recently we had a guest Speaker ,,[Professional Hooper] and the Spirit was not there,,sound effects but no Power...the congregation received him but no Power in the message,,I saw too much of SELF than anything,,and the Hooping did not move me ,,maybe it was just me

well the first thing I want to say is amen then, I want to say now what are we going to do about it...we all called for change now let us be about change! it starts with us;leadership if the head is sound the body should be sound...a great deal of the bodies issues can be corrected if the head would get it together and teach God's people the truth..there are other solutions but that is the first place to start....the time has come and now is that judgment must began in the house of God!

Pastor Samuels, you speak the truth.The bible speaks of false prophets, we must be living in the last days. As you said, many in the church are living ungodly lives, so they will never see the manifestation of God in their lives. These people are not saved! People make decisons to live their lives. No body can make them live a Godly life. I can imagine as a man of God, this is very disappointing to you. However, you have to continue to do your part to reach them. Some will be lost, by their own choices. Yes in many cases, it seems that some people come to church to be "entertained", rather then empowered. However, I would say to you Pastor, Keep on preaching the word and living a Godly life and God will bless you. May God bless you & your family!!
