Thought of the Day

A thought for the Day
How do people believe
We can all agree on politics
Are to that matter anything 
When we have to have
A church on every corner
These churches are not full
This is not the problem
For each believe they 
are the only good one
For to many want self praise
Jesus constantly told us
I am not good but my
Father who sent me
And I know I am miserable and wretched
When I tried to direct my own path
For when one sees
We are the temple,
 God
Watched His Son
Die for the corruption
Of this wicked world
That He might come in the spirit
And dwell within our body
To become a living spirit being
He wants to walk, talk and shine his love
Through us daily 
Not to be limited to a couple hours of church
For all can appear good in this time of fellowship 
How have these become
The ones the waiters hate to see coming
Only then will you really see the foolishness
Of this wicked world and not 
Want to walk around in it
But be pulled out of it
There is one friend that
You can believe in and follow
His name is Jesus
Jesus did not pray for the world
But for the ones God sent him
Those who seek and cry out
Love you all

There is no point in constructing temples in every nook and corner of the world in mortar and cement ! God cannot be confined within a church or a temple. We ourselves are the temple of God and He wishes to stay within us. So we should keep our body and mind pure. Great thoughts Stephan !

My mom and grandma used to talk about people who were in church every Sunday after "raising Hell on Saturday night". I think we are all guilty of some sort of hypocrisy. We all make excuses for our own short comings. I think we should all be so busy cleaning up our own act that we don't have time to look at our brothers and sisters faults. Great write my friend. God Bless, JB

Yes, indeed we all have a fight each day, I try to die daily to my ways that the spirit might live through me, I love church people but they should just take notice that the lost are watching them, it's not good enough just to show up to church, i just wish church was not so separated, for when one is walking in the spirit we all come together in one harmony

True, my dearest friend, Stephan! Lord's church we carry within our souls where love is enshrined in the name of Jesus! Be blessed!
