When I Went To Church Not Too Long Ago

I remember going to a church not too many years ago… When the pastor preached... It brought conviction to my soul! I remember that after the service… Many cried out and prayed… For many of them… It didn’t matter how long they stayed… I still remember some of the messages the pastor was preaching… Into many of our hearts, the word of God was reaching. I remember all of these things and so much more! But today… This wouldn’t be welcomed in my church’s door! You see… Much of what was preached as right or wrong… In many Christian circles… It doesn’t belong! What once was used by God to be Godly and instrumental… Is now called “hateful,” and “judgemental…” Wait a minute! Doesn’t this same God still require a holy life? This same God still calls marriage… One husband and one wife… In this crazy world, where so many things are “upside down.” Are there any seeking God’s holiness? Can any be found? Make no mistake... God’s judgement is coming very soon! Have you allowed Christ to be the lord in “every room?” God is still the same God… surely loves YOU! Why not invite him in? And allow him to be your Lord too!
