WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO COME AS YOU ARE IN TODAYS CHURCHES?

[terrance douthard]

I HAVE BEEN READING SOME BLOG RESPONSES ON THE TOPIC OF NOT LETTING UNSAVED PEOPLE WORK IN THE CHURCH( SPECIFACTLY MUSICIANS) I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW WE AS THE CHURCH HAVE GONE FROM OPENING THE DOORS OF THE CHURCH TO THE UNSAVED,UNCHURCHED PEOPLE TO PUTTING REQUIREMENT ON WHO COME TO THE CHURCH BE IT A MUSICIAN,CHIOR DIRECTOR,SINGER OR EVEN JUST A REGULAR MEMBER. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT MANY OF THE RESTRICTIONS WE SET AT CHURCH HINDER THE BUILDING OF GOD'S KINGDOM,AND AS A RESULT THE UNSAVED RUN FROM CHURCH. SO I ASK AGAIN WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO COME AS YOU ARE?

This is such a strong topic, we can't turn our back on the "local" church. We have to be taught that we are responsible for our actions. If more people realized they are responsible for their own actions, it would cause so many to resist the "devil" and the devil would flee. As God continues to stregnth and place His people, the church will get stronger. But it is going to take true dedication, obedience and faith.

BROTHER PAYDAE, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT

[brotha paydae]

The Real Truth to This is; THE CHURCH HAS GONE 100% WORLDLY,Especially in these Last Days and Times,the Devil is in the Pulpit Running in FULL FORCE,he is in the Choir,on the Church Board,and in the Pews with the Congregation, I know A Lot of People Will Strongly Disagree with Me,but How Many Disagreed with Our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ?

If the Truth will Set You FREE,I'm Trying to Set A Lot of Lost Worldly Souls FREE.

Churches of Today want to Live and Abide by Their Own Teachings and Standards,to Which Every Church has Their Own Standards and Teachings to Live and Grow by,so if they Say Come as You Are and You Do,and Your Come as You Are is Not to Their Standards,then You will be Convicted by them Behind Your Back,and It is a Shame how they Judge People because of that,but they do it Every Day of Every Week,and Every Month through out the Year.

YES HE IS

I understand that when you are doing a work for God, it will at times have you in a uncomfortable place. I never would have imagined with my husband being called into ministry, that the church would be my uncomfortable place. but one thing is for sure, God is ALWAYS in control.

Stay Encouraged.

YES FIRST LADY I TOTALY AGREE

[terrance douthard]

SAY IT PREACHA (LOL) I DON'T THINK WE REALIZE HOW WE SHUT THE CHURCH DOORS ON THE UNSAVED.WE ARE SO HEAVENLY BOUND THAT WE ARE NO EARTHLY GOOD. WE BETTER REMEMBER WHERE WE CAME FROM (THANK YOU JESUS)

i dont know if what I am about to say is biblical or not, but when it comes to qualifications of leadership of the church, there are specifics for pastors, ministers and deacons. but to be a working in the church, why can't it be come as you are? when we welcome the sick, when we nurture the sick, when we look after and pray for the sick, if it's God's Will, the sick will be healed. i think we forget at times that it's not us saving souls. We should usher them in, and let God do the rest.

Just a thought.
