My brother who is the Bass guitar player in church, was pulled over and arrested.
He was accused of DUI but he wasn't drunk. Anyway he is waiting for a court date to prove he is being falsely accused, no tests were done, only a New Young Trooper basing it strictly on his opinion . My brother's name was automatically put in the local newspaper and someone brought it to the preachers attention.
My brother was told by the preacher and a board member of the church that he could no longer play the guitar in church until he apologizes to the church and asks for their forgiveness.
The Preacher says it says in the Bible that he must do this.
Can anyone help me find it and educate myself about such!!
My brother had drank three beers over a 4 1/2 hr time period. The Preacher also said it is a sin to drink a beer.
I just want to know. I've never read about this and I've been going to church all my life.
Thanks for the help if you can enlighten me!!!
What a great testimony of God's Spirit working in Africa resulting in many receiving Christ. It is concerning though with all the different cult groups spreading the wrong message. There's a whole smorgasbord of religions out there, and the Lord allows us to choose. It's only through a continuous study of God's word and being faithful to Him that a true believer will not become entrapped in such groups!
Amen! And as Jesus said, if anyone wants to be my disciple, they must deny (ARNEOMAI/Reject) themselves, take up their cross daily (Acknowledge that Jesus died our death), and follow Him (Our proper position, behind Him).
We have a wonderful Savior who has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. We are covered indeed!
Media . Check out Epoch times they have been following the whole thing like few others .
I have remedies for viruses including covid but almost no one will believe it yet I'm 400% sure by experience. It's like the truth not well believed .
Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
As I mentioned earlier my friend who was a Muslim and was converted to Christianity went to seminary and teaches at a Church in Ga. Went to Africa to share his faith with his family, Where they're predominantly Muslim. He was afraid they wouldn't accept him but Missionaries was already there putting in the work!! However the JW's and all the other cults is there too. The biggest Church there is a Prosperity Church. aking merchandise out of them. But many has converted to Christianity. And his family noticed something different about him. It's been six years ago since his first visit. I'm going to reach out to him to see have he been back.
God bless.
You've been a blessing from what I have seen. I had to go back and look at my message and it did look aimed at you and I apologize, I was using what you said to urge the brethren to contend for the faith and move on to maturity. It was an opening, but I should have been careful the way I presented it so it wouldn't seem personal, Let there light shine on Him that's in the midst of the LAMPSTAND.
I urge us to be careful because these attacks is not flesh and blood.
And I read your post concerning this as well. And it is true.
I believe Some is put on this site to teach if not it wouldn't be under such attacks.
I believe Satan is behind the scene on the distractions and lack of focus on the Gospel.
Ephesians 5:6-11. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Here's a look at a hypocrite.
Matthew 23:25-26. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Regeneration is in the HEART!! and will be manifested in our walk.
God bless you and all you do.
and keep up the great work.
I Speak with a since of urgency but not directly to you, Sorry if it Sounded that way I was using the current strife that's been on the site and tense debating as an example of spittual deficiency.
We forget how we received what we received. It's by the Spirit of God that eyes are open, It's by the working of the spirit we are sanctified and fruitful for the ministry. Jesus said in
John 16:12-13. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Jesus commanded the desciples to wait on the spirit before he sent them out.
He also taught them through the washing of the feet.
He often said those who have ears to hear let them hear.
Our walk and kindness to one another is not by our effort it's by being connected.
And we haven't seen that connection at large! Our validation is not on our well versed presentation, We can read and search the scripture daily for a thousand years without conviction and a conversion and all we get is the letter and be as blind as the jews at Christ coming.
Our life is a testimony that Christ is in us because true conversion brings fruit and our works follow.
This is a site where we don't have to go out to evangelize. This is a site where the lost come to us and they should see Christ in us as in John 13:35.
We are the laborers, everyone is not going to accept the Gospel, but we work
when the job is not getting done whether by our walk or by mouth, God will judge his Church.
We're either hot, cold, or luke warm.
Again my message is for the brothern to contend for the faith! And not be lured into vain babbling. Use what talents we have and earn more. And be vigilant everyone amongst us is not with us. The truth will manifest them.
This Msg is directed to the brothern.

Thank you for the kind and encouraging words!
The simple answer would be no, it is not mandatory that a person attend a church. We will not be judged by God based on how often we went to church, of if we even went at all. However, we are to worship the Lord. I do believe that Christian fellowship is important. Going to church to fellowship with other believers has its benefits. I see church as a spiritual hospital where we go to be fed spiritually. But attendance should not be mandatory. And yes, we are the body of Christ, the church. The church is an organism, not an organization. The building is just a place where the body of Christ meets for fellowship. As far as attending, we are to go where the Lord leads us. We have a problem today where there are many in church that are there for the wrong reasons. You see, the Lord only wants those which His Spirit is drawing to be there, not those who are coming because it's the "right thing to do," or because they are being forced to be there (And I'm not talking about children). So if the Lord is leading you to go to church, then I would say go. If not, stay put. But definitely worship Him and be in fellowship with Him through His word.
That's right! Others should see be able to see Christ in us without us even saying a word. As far as God equipping us differently for His work, that is true also in that no two believers have the exact same ministry. I heard a true story about a missionary that was sent to some remote location that had no churches, no bibles, no pastors, nothing, very primitive location. This missionary talked with some of those people and before he could even share the gospel, they already spoke of the existence of God. How did that happen? Nobody preached to them. And I agree, the world will be judged according to their response. For us as believers, we will be judged, not for salvation, because Christ paid for that, but we will be judged on what we did in response to the Lord when His Spirit came to us and persuade us of something. That's what we will be judged on. How did we respond to that persuasion? And by the way, I've said this before, but the word persuasion is literally the word faith. And yes, the bible says we will pass through the fire. I like to look at it as a "Spiritual car wash" that we will go through. That which is not of Christ will burn, but that which we did in response to the persuasion of His Spirit, that will be our reward/s.
side of predomanece and others felt differant.
Iwas wondering if you could let me know what you think about it?
Thank-you.
