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!
